About the role

  • 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.

  • Equity Ownership - At Clerk, we believe in shared success. Everyone has the opportunity to benefit from our growth.
  • Health Coverage - Top-tier health insurance for your well-being.
