About the role
- Get oriented in our onboarding curriculum in Notion and get access to key tools — Linear, Figma, Slack, Looker, Omni and our experimentation infrastructure.
- Dig into the data and current growth opportunities, understand where creators are dropping off and why, and you have a clear point of view on what's driving disengagement and where the highest-leverage retention opportunities are.
- Own the end-to-end execution of multiple growth initiatives across the funnel. You're not waiting for a spec, you're helping identify the highest-leverage bets, scoping them with the team, building them, measuring the outcome, and sharing what you learned.
- You've established the technical patterns and measurement practices the growth team relies on. You’re a leader on the Growth squad and a strong, trusted partner to Product. You have a clear point of view on what the funnel needs, and you're coaching others toward more analytical, outcome-driven ways of working.
Requirements
- Software engineering experience on product-led initiatives at a SaaS company
- Worked on a product where the customer relationship involves recurring revenue, trials, or conversion milestones
- Led experiments end-to-end, and can speak to what you learned, including the ones that didn't work and why
- Shipped improvements across more than one part of the funnel, not just the part that was assigned to you
- Worked on a remote-first or distributed team with minimal process overhead
- Full-stack engineering. Our stack is primarily Ruby on Rails and React, and you are ideally comfortable with both.
- Product judgment. You think about the experience, not just the implementation. You have opinions about what's worth building and collaborate with product and design.
- Data-informed decision-making. You're comfortable in SQL, know your way around analytics tooling like Omni and Mixpanel, and can connect product metrics to business outcomes.
- Funnel thinking. You understand acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization as a system, not a checklist. You can identify where the real leverage is, and where it isn't.
- Building reusable infrastructure. You think beyond the immediate experiment. When you build something, you consider whether it can accelerate the next thing too.
