Growth Engineer
New York, NYOnsite
Summary
First Growth Engineer building referral systems, leaderboards, onboarding flows, and share mechanics. Full-stack IC role shipping end-to-end growth features with marketing collaboration and A/B testing.
About the role
What You'll Do
- Ship end-to-end growth features across onboarding, referral, and market discovery flows, from spec to production to measurement.
- Build and maintain core growth surfaces including leaderboards, referral code systems, invite flows, and social share mechanics.
- Partner with marketing to take half-formed GTM asks and turn them into clearly scoped, buildable features, pushing back when the idea won't move the right metric.
- Instrument every feature you ship with proper event tracking and funnel analytics so you always know whether it worked.
- Run A/B experiments, analyze results with appropriate statistical rigor, and make the call to kill, iterate, or scale.
- Identify drop-off points in acquisition and activation funnels using product data and propose the next set of bets.
- Move fast and make smart tradeoffs. A referral MVP does not need the architecture of the matching engine.
What We're Looking For
- Proven track record shipping production growth features end-to-end, referrals, onboarding, virality loops, or similar, with minimal oversight.
- Strong enough full-stack skills to build independently across frontend and backend without waiting on other engineers.
- Comfortable working directly with marketing or GTM stakeholders, translating ambiguous requests into scoped engineering work.
- Fluency in experimentation, including A/B testing, event instrumentation, funnel analysis, and interpreting results correctly.
- Good product instincts. You should be able to look at a growth loop and have a real opinion on what's broken and what to build next.
- Experience making deliberate speed versus quality tradeoffs. You know when to ship scrappy and when technical shortcuts will cost you later.
- (Plus) Experience at a crypto or web3 product company.
- (Plus) Familiarity with prediction markets or financial products.
- (Plus) Background in consumer growth at a high-scale startup.
