If you are driven to solve exhilarating challenges and have a bias toward action in the face of change, you will be empowered to make a real impact here, with a sharp and passionate team at your back. If Braze sounds like a place where you can thrive, we can't wait to meet you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Email team, which is responsible for building and maintaining the core infrastructure that delivers billions of personalized emails a month to our customers' end users as well as processing all associated reporting data.

You will recruit, coach, and develop the team's engineers. You will help solve major engineering challenges, by guiding key architectural decisions and (in certain high-leverage cases) via the code you write.

Finally, you will have broad responsibility for the team's vision, goals, and processes. We greatly value colleagues who help make us better engineers and are excited, in turn, to learn from us. If that's you, we'd love to hear from you!
