Senior Engineering Manager, Growth Platform

Apply now for this position at Scribd, Inc.

At Scribd Inc. (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our four products:
Everand, Scribd, Slideshare, and Fable. We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer. When it comes to workplace structure, we believe in balancing individual flexibility and community connections. It’s through our flexible work benefit, Scribd Flex, that employees – in partnership with their manager – can choose the daily work‑style that best suits their individual needs.

A key tenet of Scribd Flex is our prioritization of intentional in‑person moments to build collaboration, culture, and connection. For this reason, occasional in‑person attendance is required for all Scribd Inc. employees, regardless of their location. So what are we looking for in new team members? We hire for “GRIT”. The textbook definition of GRIT is demonstrating the intersection of passion and perseverance toward long‑term goals.

At Scribd Inc., we are inspired by the potential that this can unlock, and ask each of our employees to pursue a GRIT‑ty approach to their work. In a tactical sense, GRIT is also a handy acronym that outlines the standards we hold ourselves and each other to. Here’s what that means for you: we’re looking for someone who showcases the ability to set and achieve goals, achieve results within their job responsibilities, contribute innovative ideas and solutions, and positively influence the broader team through collaboration and attitude.

At Scribd, growth isn’t just a set of campaigns, it’s a system.

You’ll partner closely with Product, Performance Marketing, Partnerships, Data Platform, and Analytics to build reliable foundations, and to translate growth strategy into high‑leverage technical capabilities. This is a high‑ownership leadership role for an engineering manager who is both people‑first and deeply technical: someone who can set a vision, build a strong team, and deliver platform improvements that measurably impact conversion, retention, and lifetime value.

• Build and manage a high‑performing full‑stack team, developing engineers while creating a culture of accountability, inclusion, and continuous learning.
