Engineering Manager, Privacy & Identity
About The Position
Strava is seeking an Engineering Manager for the Privacy and Login team. This role operates 60/40 as hands-on engineer and technical leader, with a consumer product focus. The manager will own how athletes sign up, log in, and understand and manage their privacy on Strava, from account security to giving people clear visibility and control over their data across iOS, Android, and web. This is a platform engineering role, not a security or IAM specialist position. No prior identity or authentication experience is required. Strong product engineering fundamentals (fullstack skills prioritized) and the ability to learn quickly in a high-trust domain are desired. The role follows a flexible hybrid model, requiring more than half of the time on-site in the San Francisco office (three days per week).
Requirements
- 1-2 years of management/people leadership experience
- 5+ years experience of strong fullstack or product engineering background
- Comfort across backend systems and consumer-facing UI
- Ability to quickly ramp up on systems that keep user accounts secure and easy to access
- Comfort learning on the job how to build predictable, secure login experiences and clear, user-friendly privacy controls
- Ability to lead a team through ambiguous, high-stakes technical problems and drive consistency across platforms
- A product mindset: ability to balance user experience with robust data protection and abuse prevention
- A holistic view of platform engineering as a foundation for trust, safety, privacy, and growth
