We’re looking for a Senior Learning & Development Manager to build and scale programs that support our fast-growing, developer-centric organization.

Responsibilities

• Welcome new employees by designing onboarding programs that help people hit the ground running—learning our products, tools, and culture quickly.
• Work across teams (Engineering, Product, HR, and more) to figure out what skills people need and build training programs to fill those gaps.
• Build learning content in a variety of formats—videos, workshops, written guides—tailored to different audiences and learning styles.
• Keep our learning tools running smoothly , including our learning platform, documentation, and any assessment tools we use.
• Help people grow their careers by building clear frameworks that show what skills are needed at each level and how to get there.
