The Senior Engineering Manager will lead a front-end team, driving architectural direction, product partnerships, and ensuring high-quality software delivery while remaining involved in coding and technical strategy.
Veeva is moving beyond Life Sciences and building a new Enterprise Application Platform. As part of our New Markets team, you’ll be architecting the foundation for Veeva’s next era of growth. This is a rare opportunity to combine the agility of a greenfield project with the stability of a proven company and the values of a Public Benefit Corporation.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager with a Front-End focus who views the success of the platform as a personal responsibility. You’ll lead a high-caliber and experienced team at a foundational stage, shaping both the front-end architecture and the team culture that will power Veeva’s next era of growth.
You are the engine for your team’s execution. You drive the planning, coordinate your team’s work, and ensure that the team is moving with pace and clarity.
You lead by giving engineers autonomy, holding them accountable, and earning their respect. You stretch your team with big goals and provide the guidance they need to reach them. You have the confidence to make clear decisions, while leveraging the guidance of your experts.
You have a "grab a shovel" mentality and are ready to dive into the details whenever necessary to keep the mission on track. Whether that means refining a product spec, working on technical architecture, or writing code, you do what it takes to deliver.
While your day-to-day focus is on the team, you still have a genuine passion for software development. You try to stay off the critical path and empower your engineers, but you haven't lost the desire to stay hands-on.
If shaping a new platform alongside experienced engineers sounds energizing, we’d love to meet you.
What You'll Do
- Lead & Mentor: Grow a high-caliber engineering team through clear direction, feedback, and recruiting
- Plan & Execute: Own delivery for your team, coordinating closely with backend engineering to ensure predictable, "low-drama" releases
- Product Partnership: Collaborate with and challenge Product to translate complex business requirements into elegant, practical user experiences
- Architectural Contribution: Partner with Principal Engineers to drive a cohesive front-end direction, creating shared frameworks and libraries, and evolving early concepts into a mature enterprise solution
- Champion Quality: Maintain our high standards for testing and reliability, ensuring the team continues to ship robust, high-quality features without regressions
- Technical Contribution: Stay active in the codebase to unblock the team or prototype new ideas
REQUIREMENTS | We’re looking for talented Engineering Managers who meet the following requirements:
- 8+ years in engineering with 3+ years of management, leading high-performing teams of 5 or more
- Experience architecting and delivering complex, scalable features for enterprise-grade, multi-tenant SaaS applications
- Track record of designing, building, and maintaining frameworks or libraries for other engineers
- Experience with complex form rendering, data grids, or workflow-driven interfaces where the UI must adapt to customer-defined schemas or metadata
- History of long-term commitment to a product, having guided it from its initial design to a mature, successful state
- Ability to drive technical strategy while translating high-level business goals into concrete engineering outcomes
- Success in a fast-paced, greenfield environment, acting as a key partner in defining both product and culture
- Deep proficiency with modern front-end technologies, including JavaScript, CSS, TypeScript, React and core browser APIs
- Must be located in PST or MST (but can be remote in those locations)
THE PROCESS | Our process is different than most. It is designed to be fast, efficient and respectful. Here are the steps:
- You submit your resume and have a brief introduction with a Senior Engineering Leader
- You’ll then take a short personality assessment
- Within one week, we will notify you via email if we would like to go to the next step or not
- The next step is a single technical interview with a member of our tech evaluation team
- If the technical is passed, you will move forward to a more personal interview with a Senior Engineering Leader
- There may be an additional technical or personal interview as needed
- Within one week of this step, we will give you an offer, or let you know that we do not wish to move forward
Perks & Benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
- Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
- Retirement programs
- 1% charitable giving program
Compensation
- Base pay: $130,000 - $300,000
