Job Summary

We are seeking a Growth Engineer to design, build, and scale our growth engine. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background and marketing instincts to convert a skeptical security audience.

About the Role

As a Growth Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and implementing automated growth strategies that drive user acquisition and engagement. You will also be expected to conduct high-tempo experimentation and iterate on campaigns across various platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Growth Engine: Architect and wire the automation layer (APIs, webhooks, LLM agents) that turns product triggers into programmatic upsells.
  • Do Things That Don't Scale: Hustle manually to validate new channels and tactics before automating and scaling them.
  • Rapidly ship, measure, and iterate on campaigns across HackerNews, Reddit, and LinkedIn to compound user acquisition.
  • Technical Chops + Marketing Instincts: Write the scripts necessary to stitch our systems together and the copy required to convert security engineers.
  • AppSec Maturity: Move fast and break things in the automation layer while maintaining industry context to ensure user trust, privacy, and brand reputation.
  • Excellent communicator: Strong writing, researching, and communication skills to craft copy that resonates with a technical audience.
  • Development experience: Enough to code your own growth automations and stitch systems together.
  • Technical audience expertise: Experience targeting security and development teams as customers or writing for deeply technical audiences.
  • Campaign experience: Hands-on experience running email campaigns, GTM campaigns, and sales enablement programs.
  • Death by PowerPoint: Bias towards action rather than spending time on pitch decks for minor experiments.
  • Vanity Metrics: Focus on pipeline, product usage, and revenue rather than vanity metrics like impressions.
  • Vendor Management Hell: Build leaner, faster systems yourself instead of evaluating bloated enterprise marketing software.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in software security and marketing design.
  • Experience with API development and webhooks.
  • Strong technical chops to wire together agents and APIs.
  • Marketing instincts to convert a skeptical security audience.
  • AppSec maturity to communicate with credibility.
  • Excellent communicator with strong writing, researching, and communication skills.
  • Development experience, even if not in a formal engineering role.
  • Experience targeting security and development teams as customers or writing for deeply technical audiences.
  • Hands-on experience running email campaigns, GTM campaigns, and sales enablement programs.

Qualifications

  • Competitive compensation: Base salary of $180,000 and equity package with high growth potential.
  • Actual impact: Your work directly shapes how we acquire and grow our user base.
  • Learning opportunities: Budget for conferences, books, and tools to support your growth.
  • Solid team: Work with a team of ex-AWS engineers and security experts who are genuinely excited about what they build.
  • Quick chat with a founder: Opportunity to discuss your experience with growth engineering and what excites you about this space.
  • Technical discussion: Walk us through a growth experiment or automation you built and the decisions behind it.
  • Paid work trial: Work on a real problem with the team and see if we're a mutual fit.

Benefits

  • San Francisco based: Work from our SF office.
