Proven record of building and optimizing user-facing features, preferably in consumer or SaaS products
Experience with experimentation frameworks, A/B testing, and data analysis
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with ability to translate insights into scalable solutions
Proficiency with modern web or backend technologies (Python, Go, Node.js, TypeScript, or similar)
Familiarity with growth tools and analytics platforms (Amplitude, Segment, Google Analytics, etc.)
Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
Self-motivated, curious, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
Nice to Have
Experience in generative AI, creative tools, or social platforms
Background in high-growth startups or rapid experimentation roles
Open source, hackathon, or growth hacking experience
Our Stack
Python, Go, Node.js, Postgres, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP
What We Offer
Competitive salary in the AI industry
