About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Learning & Development Manager to build and scale programs that support our fast-growing, developer-centric organization. In this role, you’ll design onboarding, skills development, and continuous learning initiatives that help technical and non-technical teams thrive. You don’t need to be a developer but you should feel comfortable working in a highly technical environment and translating complex concepts into effective learning experiences.

You’ll play a critical part in leveling up teams across the company, ensuring we maintain deep technical excellence while scaling rapidly. If you love helping people learn, thrive at the intersection of tech and education, and know how to make complex concepts accessible—you’ll be a perfect fit.

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco with anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

What You Will Do:

• 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.


• Bring people together through live training sessions and team learning communities.

About You:

• 4–8+ years of experience in Learning & Development, Talent Development, Enablement, or related roles.


• Strong instructional design fundamentals and experience building engaging learning experiences.


• Comfort working closely with technical teams and learning new concepts quickly.


• Ability to translate complex technical topics into accessible training for diverse audiences.


• Strong program management, communication, and cross-functional partnering skills.


• Experience with modern learning tools (LMS platforms, content authoring tools, documentation systems).

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.


• Inclusive Healthcare Package.


• Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.


• Flexible Time Off.


• We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.

The estimated annual cash salary for this role is $160,000 - $190,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
