WHAT YOU'LL DOWe are in search of a VP of Engineering for our Channels division, the action layer of the Braze technology platform. Our channels are where the Braze platform meets the end user, where our customers create rich messaging that is delivered to their end users via our channels: Email, Push, SMS/MMS/RCS, WhatsApp, LINE, In-App Messages, Content Cards, Banners, Landing Pages, Feature Flags, Webhooks, and more to come.
You will lead this multi-team division through its next stage of technical and product transformation. This role presents formidable engineering challenges that call for a collaborative and cross-functional approach, necessitating close coordination with product and design teams. You will manage the team and help to grow the organization, leading software engineering via architecture design, growing engineering teams and skillsets, setting vision and goals, process and protocol, and hiring. On the product front - you will solve a number of interesting problems, from developing highly differentiated and sophisticated channel products, to thinking about how we build and position the broad portfolio of channels. On the engineering front - maturation of our systems into a more modular, efficient technology platform, all while delivering best-in-class product, is a major goal. And across both fronts, you will lead this organization through the AI transition: channel products that are increasingly intelligent and agentic, and an engineering org that leverages AI-assisted development to raise its own velocity and quality bar.
