Evangelize growth engineering topics and lessons learned to the rest of the company Help decide which technical initiatives make it to our roadmap - and explain to key stakeholders why we are pursuing certain initiatives or directions over others As a Senior Backend Growth Engineer, you'll be an expert in Ruby (on Rails). It'd also be beneficial to have experience in the following frameworks, tools, and languages: Frontend: TypeScript, React.js About you: 5+ years of experience building web apps T-shaped profile with Backend depth Experience in solving growth-related problems You work in collaboration with cross-functional business teams (Product, Marketing, Go To Market) You understand the business KPI to be improved (Conversion, Engagement, Adoption, Churn, etc.) You get things done, even outside of your own area of direct responsibilities You're used to hacking in on other teams' code base (guest dev) and getting their support You optimize for rapid iterations using A/B testing tools (Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, etc.) with a rough first shot and clean things up once experimentation (successful or not) is done Telemetry and BI tools to measure the impact of your work are your daily tools (Looker, Amplitude, MixPanel, etc.) You can look forward to the following benefits: Budget for online courses, books, and conferences 5 weeks of vacation + sick days ️ 1 Volunteer Day per year for you to help causes close to your heart Mental Wellness Program to support your well-being and self-care About Productboard Productboard exists to help the best product minds out there make products that matter, together.
