About This Role

Strava is the app for active people. With over 150 million athletes in more than 185 countries, Strava is where connection, motivation, and personal bests thrive. No matter your activity, gear, or goals, we help you find your crew, crush your milestones, and keep moving forward. Start your journey with Strava today.

Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

Strava is hiring an Engineering Manager to build and lead a new Comms and Experimentation Platform team within our Horizontal Engineering organization. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build and shape the team that builds the platform for user communications and experimentation at Strava. As an Engineering Manager for the Comms and Experimentation Platform team, you will be responsible for setting and executing platform strategy, building the team, managing technical delivery, and strengthening cross-functional stakeholder relationships.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office — three days per week.

What You’ll Do:

  • Establish a new platform team from the ground up, including hiring and defining team culture and processes.
  • Solve complex technical and scaling challenges as you shape the technical direction for comms and experimentation infrastructure at Strava
  • Directly enable revenue-generating work for Marketing and Product teams.
  • Partner with coworkers across functions including MarTech, Product and Data Platform.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

  • Experience working on comms and/or experimentation systems for consumer applications, especially at a scale similar to Strava’s.
  • Experience leading people, teams, and projects with at least 1 year of direct people management.
  • The ability to excel at balancing long-term strategic platform work with short-term value delivery.

Compensation Overview:

At Strava, we know our employees are the most important ingredient to our success, and our compensation and total rewards programs reflect that. We take a market-based approach to pay, and pay may vary depending on the department and your location. Salary ranges are categorized into one of three zones based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. We will determine the candidate’s starting pay based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. We may modify these ranges in the future. For more information, please contact your talent partner.

Compensation: $228,000 - $242,000. This range reflects base compensation only and does not include equity or benefits. Your recruiter can share more details about the full compensation package during the hiring process.
