As a Growth Engineer, you’ll help developers succeed faster with Clerk by shipping measurable improvements across our growth surfaces—SDK, docs/quickstart, dashboard onboarding, backend, and email.
You’ll move quickly and learn in public with a team that cares about craft and outcomes.
Ship experiments across any surface (Clerk SDKs, docs/quickstart, dashboard, backend, email/CRM).
Collaborate across engineering, design, product, and marketing to improve developer’s experiences using Clerk.
Operate across the full stack: Next.js + JavaScript/TypeScript (including our JS SDK), Go services backed by Postgres; BigQuery and PostHog for analysis and flags.
Establish clear hypothesis and success metrics for every experiment; instrument, launch behind flags, monitor, and share read-outs.
Requirements
Five+ years hands-on software engineering.
1–2+ years running growth experiments in PLG/SaaS (dev tools experience is ideal).
Full-stack fluency with professional experience in JavaScript/TypeScript (Next.js) and Go, plus strong SQL.
Confident with your data. You can define events, query BigQuery, and analyze in PostHog and Hex (or something similar).
You ship unblocked, communicate clearly, and close the loop.
You’re driven to understand the “why” behind everything and can focus that intense curiosity into action.
You’re user-focused and all about open collaboration. You should be comfortable talking to developers and sharing dashboards, PRs, and read-outs.
Excited to embrace and leverage LLM-based tools to drive engineering work.
You should be based in North America or Western Europe time zones. Core hours are your regular workday in your timezone.
