Key Responsibilities

• Lead and scale a team of Growth Engineers working across the full funnel — from top-of-funnel acquisition to monetization and retention

• Drive a culture of experimentation in close partnership with Product Managers, Marketing, Data Scientists, and Designers to ship A/B tests and iterative improvements that move the needle

• Build and improve A/B testing frameworks to enable rapid testing, data-informed decision-making, and accurate tracking/measurement of experiments

• Identify high-leverage growth opportunities through data insights, user research, and collaboration with GTM teams

• Architect and build scalable systems that support growth initiatives like onboarding flows, personalization engines, and viral loops

• Leverage automation and machine learning to optimize user engagement, reduce churn, and personalize user experiences

• Hire, mentor, and develop a world-class Growth Engineering team, fostering a culture of innovation, iteration, and impact

• Ensure technical excellence through code quality, performance, and scalability — while balancing speed of execution

• Drive the technical roadmap for Growth Engineering, ensuring alignment with product and business priorities

Skills and Relevant Experience

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, with 3+ years in a growth-focused or experimentation-driven leadership role

• Proven success leading engineering teams that directly impacted business metrics like conversion, retention, and LTV

• Strong product thinking and data-informed mindset; comfortable using tools like Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Segment, Google Analytics, or similar

• Deep experience with A/B testing, feature flagging, and user cohorting tools and methodologies

• Strong programming skills in modern web technologies (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Python, or Node.js) and cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP); hands-on ability to guide architectural decisions

• Experience working cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, Design, and Data Science teams

• Deep understanding of conversion rate optimization (CRO), SEO, and performance engineering

• Experience working with MongoDB, data pipelines, and analytics frameworks

• Passion for rapid iteration, experimentation, and growth-driven development

• Excellent leadership, communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills

• Understanding of data privacy and security fundamentals

• Proven experience leveraging AI tools to enhance software development processes — including code generation, debugging, and productivity optimization. Candidates should demonstrate fluency in integrating AI-driven solutions into their workflows and a willingness to stay current with emerging AI technologies

Great to have

• Familiarity with React, MongoDB, SQL, data warehousing, and Elasticsearch
