Principal Software Engineer, Growth

What you'll be doing

  • Help define the growth metrics the team owns, from sign-up and trial activation through to upgrade.
  • Study product telemetry and public signals (community forums, social media, video comments) to identify user obstacles.
  • Turn insights into testable hypotheses, build, ship, and A/B test solutions independently.
  • Work across the entire codebase as needed without handing tasks off to other teams.
  • Use AI coding agents in the development workflow to move from idea to production quickly.
  • Communicate experiment rationale, success criteria, and learnings clearly to engineering, product, design, and leadership teams.

Requirements

  • Principal-level engineering experience with recent hands-on full-stack production coding (TypeScript, React, backend services, or similar).
  • Daily use of AI coding agents with the ability to describe the workflow in detail.
  • Proven track record in growth, activation, or funnel optimization at product-led companies with measurable impact.
  • Strong product sense to independently identify problems, propose solutions, and define success metrics without detailed specifications.
  • Ability to move fast and deliver impactful results with minimal team support.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, including presenting cases to senior leaders.

Nice to have

  • Growth experience at enterprise product-led companies converting self-serve users into business customers.
  • Experience optimizing products for AI agents as users, including agent-friendly documentation, APIs, and discovery.
  • A public presence via talks, posts, open source contributions, or widely read developer content.
  • Familiarity with automation, workflow, or developer platform products.
