Principal Software Engineer, Growth

The role

You will find out why people adopt, stick with or drop products and build and ship changes to move those numbers. You will write production code across the platform and perform product thinking to define success and prove it with data.

What you will do

• Help define the growth metrics the team owns, from sign-up and trial activation through to upgrade.
• Study product telemetry and public signals to find where users get stuck and why.
• Turn each finding into a testable hypothesis, then build, ship and A/B test the fix yourself.
• Work in any part of the codebase that a fix needs.
• Use AI coding agents as your team, taking ideas from concept to production quickly.
• Explain each experiment clearly to engineering, product, design and leadership.

Required qualifications

• Principal-level engineering experience, with recent hands-on work shipping full-stack production code (TypeScript, React and backend services, or similar).
• An AI-native way of building: you use coding agents every day and can describe your workflow in detail.
• A track record in growth, activation or funnel work at a product-led company, with metrics you personally moved.
• Strong product sense: you find the problem, propose the solution and decide how to measure it, without waiting for a spec.
• The ability to move fast with a small footprint.
• Clear written and spoken communication, including making a case to senior leaders.

Nice to have

• Growth experience at an enterprise product-led company where self-serve users turn into business customers.
• Experience optimizing for AI agents as users, such as agent-friendly docs, APIs and discovery.
• A public presence: talks, posts, open source or content that developers actually read.
• Familiarity with automation, workflow or developer-platform products.
