• Lead hands-on learning experiences at the San Francisco office, complemented by virtual and regional programming that helps engineers build context, community, and practical fluency.
• Partner with engineering leaders and subject-matter experts across developer productivity, SRE, security, architecture, and product to build and maintain technical onboarding content.

• Collaborate with managers and onboarding buddies to create role-relevant plans that accelerate early contributions.
• Coordinate with recruiting, learning, people ops, IT, facilities, finance, and regional partners so each cohort has the access, equipment, and support needed to start strong.
• Collect feedback from new hires, managers, and facilitators, and turn it into ongoing improvements to content and operations.

• Track record of improving engineering workflows, technical learning programs, or operating practices through thoughtful program design and cross-functional execution.
• Ability to turn ambiguous problems into clear plans, playbooks, and operating rhythms.
• Strong written and verbal communication, with the technical judgment to earn trust from engineering managers and senior ICs.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and align partners across engineering, learning, recruiting, people ops, IT, and facilities without direct authority.

• Remote-first within the U.S.; occasional in-person collaboration at the San Francisco office; new hires attend in-person onboarding.
• USA base pay range of $230,000-$290,000 for candidates based in CA, WA, NY, NJ, or CT; $204,000-$264,000 for other U.S. states, plus equity.
