Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior Growth Engineer to join our team and accelerate our product’s growth through rapid experimentation, data analysis, and scalable technical solutions. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, product, and marketing to optimize funnels, automate growth loops, and implement features that drive measurable impact.

Daily Adventures & Responsibilities

• Own and drive growth initiatives end-to-end — identify opportunities, design experiments, ship solutions, and measure impact on key metrics (NRR, GRR, CAC, activation, and expansion).
• Design and implement experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, feature flags, instrumentation) to ensure reliable measurement and fast iteration.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, Data, and Engineering to translate growth hypotheses into shipped, measurable features.
• Leverage data and AI to personalize user experiences, optimize engagement, and reduce friction across the user journey.
• Raise the technical bar by ensuring growth experiments are production-quality, performant, secure, and maintainable.
• Act as a technical leader in growth — influencing roadmap decisions, mentoring others, and helping define best practices for experimentation and analytics.
• Develop and execute engineering strategies that enable rapid experimentation and data-driven decision-making.
• Architect and build scalable systems that support growth initiatives, such as onboarding flows, personalization engines, and viral loops.
• Ensure technical excellence through best practices in performance optimization, security, and scalability.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant ownership of shipped product features.
• Strong full-stack experience, including:
• Frontend: JavaScript/Typescript, React
• Backend: RoR, Node.js, Python, or similar
• Databases, APIs, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP)
• Hands-on experience with analytics and experimentation:
• A/B testing frameworks (e.g LaunchDarkly, Optimizely, Amplitude, Google Analytics, or custom)
• Analytics platforms (Amplitude, Mixpanel, statsig, etc)
• Proven ability to use data to drive decisions, not just report on it.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
• Practical experience using AI/LLMs to:
• Accelerate development
• Build product features
• Improve productivity

Mindset

• Outcome-oriented: You care about business impact, not just shipping code.
• Experimental: You’re comfortable forming hypotheses, testing quickly, and iterating based on real data.
• Biased toward action: You thrive in ambiguity and move forward with imperfect information.
• Metrics-driven: Obsession with metrics (LTV, CAC, retention) and rapid iteration.
• High ownership: You treat growth problems as yours to solve.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience on a growth, product-led, or experimentation team.
• Background at a startup or scaling product.
• Prior experience mentoring or leading engineers in ambiguous problem spaces.

Key Characteristics of Growth Engineers

• Entrepreneurial: Independent, resourceful, and proactive in seeking growth opportunities.
• Experimental: Willing to test hypotheses and iterate on strategies based on real-world feedback.
• Data-Driven: Focused on analyzing data to inform decisions and measure success.
• Curious: Always learning and exploring new technologies and methods to drive growth.

Our Tech Stack

• Frontend: React/Redux/NodeJS
• Backend: Ruby/Ruby on Rails/MongoDB/Elasticsearch
• Infrastructure: Kubernetes/Docker/Ansible/Terraform

Pay Range

• Tier 1 Pay Range (San Francisco, New York City, Seattle): $218,600 - $300,520 USD
• Tier 2 Pay Range (All other US Locations): $190,100 - $261,360 USD

• Company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses
• 401(k) plan
• At least 10 paid holidays per year
• Flex PTO and parental leave
• Employee assistance program and wellbeing benefits
• Global travel coverage
