Company mission

We’re passionate about forging connections between consumers and the brands they love.

Role

Who you are

  • 3+ years of product management experience
  • 3+ years of engineering experience (professionally, or building side hustles)
  • A strong understanding of APIs, SDKs, and what it means to provide good developer experience in our public interfaces
  • Strong communication, collaboration, organization, and persuasion skills
  • A proactive, positive, can-do attitude. You drive projects to completion excellently, and are always looking for new ways that processes and products can be improved
  • Ability to work within a cross-functional team and balance multiple projects at once
  • Eagerness to learn and grow

Desirable

  • Experience at a B2B SaaS company
  • Marketing industry experience or subject matter expertise
  • Experience with mobile technology, especially as an Android / iOS developer, is very strongly preferred

What the job involves

  • We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to join Braze’s SDKs team
  • The SDKs team delivers rich, delightful and useful experiences for users who live in the diverse ecosystem of mobile, web, wearable, and TV platforms. With billions of monthly delivered messages, Braze has one of the world's most widely adopted messaging SDKs
  • In the SDKs team, we relentlessly focus on API design, performance, developer ergonomics, and product innovation to earn the right to be included in our customers' applications as part of their essential messaging infrastructure
  • Product Managers at Braze build the product roadmap for a given product area and work closely with engineers and product designers to bring new products to life
  • Deeply understand our customers, market, and technology environment
  • Understand customer needs for system reliability, consistency, accuracy and performance
  • Manage the product roadmap for our SDKs team by analyzing inputs from a wide variety of sources to prioritize the most important next steps for our product
  • Establish prioritization and developer experience principals that scale across our wide variety of platform SDKs
  • Some examples of the things the SDKs team works on includes: building support for new messaging channels and features, expanding our SDKs to support the latest platforms and operating systems, and identifying developer experience opportunities to reduce the time-to-integrate metric

Our take

Braze was founded out of an opportunity to build a company in the mobile space, inspired by the success of Android. This decision was driven by the belief that technology can help build stronger and more valuable relationships between brands and customers. It is now a leading customer engagement platform that powers connections between consumers and the brands they love.

Braze does this by delivering messaging experiences through push notifications, apps, and email, built specifically for today's always-connected customers. This replaces badly integrated tools and outdated databases, making customer relationships more personalised through cross-channel messaging, journey orchestration and AI-powered experimentation and optimisation. Through this, Braze allows any marketer to collect and take action on any amount of data from any source, so they can creatively engage with customers in real time, across channels from one platform.

As a venture-backed company, its clients now include Headspace, Canva, Max, Headspace, Domino's, Peloton and Depop. These clients use Braze to launch more effective messaging campaigns with less effort in the current mobile-first world. No doubt its placement on the 2024 US News Best Technology Companies To Work For list will draw in more talent, whilst its growth to 10 new offices across North America, APAC regions and Europe indicates promising growth.
