About the role

This role sits at the intersection of growth, product development, and marketing. You'll have the freedom to innovate and experiment while collaborating with a diverse group of cross-functional partners from across the company.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage an engineering team focused on growth
  • Partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to build systems that enable rapid experimentation and long-term scale
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, Marketing, Data to rapidly iterate through A/B testing
  • Collaborate with activation and onboarding teams to ensure a seamless end-to-end user experience from first touch to first appointment

  • Help build out our engineering team as our headcount grows from 120 to 175+ through the remainder of the year
  • Leads Teams into the AI Era: You don't just tolerate AI tools — you actively shape how your team uses them. You've thought carefully about where AI accelerates engineering work and where it doesn't, and you help your engineers develop genuine fluency rather than surface-level familiarity.

  • 5+ years of experience as a Software Engineer
  • Energetic by experimentation and growth — and can balance short-term learning with long-term scale
  • A strong product mindset and have built strong cross-functional relationships that drive optimal user experiences and build trust with users
  • A strong technical foundation that allows you to ensure your team is making appropriate technical decisions
  • Flexible and adaptable; you understand that the best growth teams must learn and iterate quickly, and that growth roadmaps are dynamic as a result
