We help everyday runners become outstanding by building an incredible app providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon.
We’re growing extremely fast! In November 2023 we closed a $6.5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. In 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the iPhone app of the year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built & in 2025 we were acquired by Strava!
Our ambition is huge: to become the go-to global leading training platform for millions of runners everywhere. We’re growing with purpose and looking for people who want to build something meaningful with lasting impact. With the recent acquisition by Strava accelerating our journey, now is a really magical time to join. 🚀
Responsibilities
~1 min readWe’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a high-performing team of engineers at Runna. You’ll be responsible for a medium-sized team of ICs (roughly 4–8+ engineers) and will independently guide that team to deliver meaningful business outcomes across a product or platform area.
This is a people leadership role first, grounded in strong technical judgement. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering peers to align goals, navigate ambiguity, and ensure your team can deliver high-quality work at pace. You’ll be expected to independently manage all aspects of people leadership, while creating the conditions for engineers to grow, experiment, and do the best work of their careers.
You’ll sit on the Train Team where you will work closely with our modelling teams to integrate features that are core to Runna’s mission (think adapting plans around holidays and B races, supporting new cutting edge plans, and building in-app experiences around our AI/ML tooling).
