Braze Career Growth & Development

Career growth at Braze is supported by a culture that prioritizes time for learning and exploration, empowering employees to invest in what excites them professionally. By encouraging individuals to pursue their interests and build new skills within their day-to-day work, the company creates an environment where development feels both intentional and sustainable.

“What sets Braze apart is the support we’re given to carve out time in our day-to-day schedules and explore what we’re passionate about in our careers, through classes or professional skill development.”

Career growth at Braze is supported through personalized development resources that help employees build confidence and leadership skills over time. By investing in tools like career coaching, the company ensures individuals have the guidance and support needed to grow in meaningful and lasting ways.

“We also offer all Braze employees 10 free coaching sessions with a career development coach annually. Utilizing career coaching has helped me become a more confident manager and leader on the team. It’s been a really fruitful relationship.”

Career growth at Braze is flexible and self-directed, allowing employees to shape their paths based on their interests, strengths and long-term goals. Whether advancing into leadership or expanding expertise across functions, individuals are supported in exploring multiple directions and building meaningful careers within the organization.

“I was able to grow from an individual contributor through several levels of management. People are able to find their own paths here — growing horizontally, diagonally and vertically within our organization, whether it be through an individual contributor role or management.”

Career growth at Braze is supported through both structured programs and personalized development opportunities, ensuring employees have the resources to continuously build their skills. By investing in individual learning paths, the company empowers employees to take ownership of their development and pursue opportunities that align with their goals.

“In addition to supporting a robust internal learning and development team, Braze offers a generous annual individual learning stipend for each employee to invest in their personalized career development. The stipend allows employees to source local technical and non-technical learning opportunities like higher education courses, career certifications or external classes that fit their learning goals.”

Career growth at Braze is driven by a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing, where employees are encouraged to both teach and expand their own skill sets. Through structured opportunities and self-directed development, individuals are empowered to deepen their expertise, explore new areas and stay accountable to their growth goals.

“One common exercise across all teams in the product engineering org is knowledge-sharing sessions. In these sessions, engineering managers will ask someone to present on a topic they’re familiar with. Sometimes, the presenters are engineers talking about technical topics, other times, they’re people in other roles and teams diving into a different topic that’s relevant to the team’s work.

We also encourage engineers to drive their own learning. Some have used our yearly Braze Global Learning Stipend — $2,000 per year — to take courses in new engineering topics, while others use it to buy books. When possible, engineers try to use each other to stay accountable by reading through the books as part of the larger Braze engineering book club or occasionally going through one as a team.”
