Company mission
To create the most committed, close, and engaged athlete community on the internet.
Role
Who you are
- A product-engineering background, with strong product sense informing your engineering decisions
- Technical depth you keep current — you may not write production code day to day, but you stay in the weeds and make confident technical calls
- Experience managing managers and senior individual contributors
- A track record of setting high expectations and leading with agency and urgency
- Experience with social, community, or consumer-engagement products is a plus
What the job involves
- Community Engagement builds the social heart of Strava — clubs and events, follower experiences, kudos, and shareables. These are the features that turn solo effort into shared momentum and keep athletes coming back for each other, not just their own stats
- As Senior Engineering Manager, you'll lead a team of 12 (a tech-lead manager and eleven engineers) that owns this social fabric. You'll set the technical and product direction for the team, coach the tech-lead manager and senior engineers, and partner closely with Product and Design to shape and ship the social roadmap. You'll stay close to the technical detail and make sharp trade-off calls, while being accountable for your team's delivery, quality, and growth
- Lead and develop a 12-person team, coaching a tech-lead manager and senior engineers
- Own the engineering roadmap for Strava's social features and set a high bar for quality and velocity
- Partner with Product and Design to define and deliver the social product vision
- Make sound technical trade-off decisions, staying close enough to the detail to guide the team well
- Grow the team through thoughtful hiring and by developing the talent you already have
- Keep the team's systems fast, reliable, and scalable as Strava's community grows
Our take
Strava has created an online network where runners, swimmers and cyclists can record fitness activities, and compare and compete with their community. It offers both a free and premium subscription service, and also partners with local councils and urban planners who purchase its journey data to map out cities and develop safer cycle paths.
With over 125 million athletes and growing, Strava's popularity is clear. Over the years, it has released new features such as an AI-enabled leaderboard, as well as partnering with Oura to make its software available through Oura's wearables. It has also secured impressive funding and a valuation over $2 billion, and is now pursuing an IPO.
