In 2024, Veeva Systems announced we are creating a new Enterprise Application Platform to expand our business beyond the Life Sciences industry. Come join the New Markets team for a chance to contribute and leave a lasting impact on this new initiative and Veeva as a whole. Learn more about our products, vision and values, and status as a public benefit corporation on our website.
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)

You submit your resume and have a brief introduction with a Senior Engineering Leader
You’ll then take a short personality assessment

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
