About the company

Our client is a fast-growing developer-infrastructure startup whose APIs turn messy web content into clean, structured data that AI teams build on. They went from nothing to eight figures of ARR in their first year and more than doubled it in the second, on a Series A and a team of 39. It is a remote-first company with a San Francisco hub, and the engineering culture is deliberately flat — no committees, no approval chains, ship on Monday and see it in production by Friday.

The role

This is a full-stack engineering seat pointed entirely at growth. You would own the signup, activation, onboarding and conversion experience, and you would be measured on the funnel metrics you move rather than the features you ship. The expectation is scientific: form a hypothesis, instrument it, run the experiment, read the result honestly and iterate. You own a number from day one, and the developer-facing surfaces you build are the first thing a new user touches.

What you'll do

Own the growth surfaces end to end — signup, activation, onboarding and conversion
Instrument the funnel, run real experiments, and ship the changes that move the metric
Build full-stack, from the first screen a developer touches to the backend powering it
Treat conversion and activation as your number — own it, measure it, move it
Work close to the data: hypothesis, test, iterate fast on what actually works

What we're looking for

These are hard requirements. Check each one that applies to you.

I've personally owned a conversion, activation or funnel metric — and moved it. Not shipped features someone else measured
5+ years as a full-stack engineer in TypeScript, Node and React, with real growth or PLG product work as an IC
I've owned growth surfaces end to end — signup, activation, onboarding and conversion, not one slice of them
Real A/B testing rigour — I can walk through specific experiments I led, including the ones that didn't work
I'm legally authorised to work in the United States and need no sponsorship of any kind — this client is not open to any visas, transfers included
I'm based in San Francisco or the Bay Area, or I work in an Americas timezone between UTC-3 and UTC-10

Please note: every item above is a hard requirement for this role. Applications that don't meet all of them will be rejected. We recommend applying only if you check every box.

Don't check every box? No worries — submit your info here and we'll keep you in mind for roles that could be a better fit.
