Growth Engineer

Summary

Expo is seeking a Growth Engineer to accelerate its product-led growth flywheel across activation, retention, and monetization. The role owns end-to-end experiments, growth features, product analytics, and infrastructure that improve developer adoption, conversion, retention, and revenue.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and analyze A/B experiments across sign-up, activation, onboarding, and upgrade funnels to improve conversion and retention
• Build and iterate on growth features—referral systems, in-product nudges, email sequences, and pricing page optimizations
• Instrument and own product analytics to deeply understand user behavior, identify drop-off points, and surface growth opportunities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Data teams to drive acquisition, activation, and monetization initiatives
• Build growth infrastructure—experiment frameworks, feature flagging, segmentation, and attribution systems
• Investigate causes of user churn and pain points, then ship solutions that measurably improve the developer experience
• Drive understanding of our core user journeys—from first project creation through paid subscription and expansion

Skills

• 3-5 years of software engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years focused on growth, experimentation, or product-led initiatives
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
• Full-stack capabilities—comfortable working across the stack from frontend to backend to data pipelines
• Data-driven mindset with experience designing experiments, analyzing results, and making decisions based on metrics
• Experience with product analytics tools (Rudderstack, Looker, DBT, or similar) and SQL for data analysis
• Strong product intuition and ability to balance shipping quickly with building durable solutions
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously in a remote environment
• Experience with React Native or mobile development
• PLG experience in developer tools, devops, or infrastructure products
• Experience building and operating experimentation frameworks
• Background in a high-growth startup environment
• Experience with email marketing automation and lifecycle marketing tools (HubSpot, Customer.io, etc.)
• Familiarity with SaaS metrics—MRR, NDR, cohort retention, LTV/CAC
