Role
Who you are
- As a Senior Frontend Growth Engineer, you’ll be an expert in TypeScript / React.js
- 5+ years of experience building web apps
- T-shaped profile with Backend depth
- Experience in solving growth-related problems
- You work in collaboration with cross-functional business teams (Product, Marketing, Go To Market)
- You understand the business KPI to be improved (Conversion, Engagement, Adoption, Churn, etc.)
- You get things done, even outside of your own area of direct responsibilities
- You're used to hacking in on other teams’ code base (guest dev) and getting their support
- You optimize for rapid iterations using A/B testing tools (Optimizely, LaunchDarkly, etc.) with a rough first shot and clean things up once experimentation (successful or not) is done
- Telemetry and BI tools to measure the impact of your work are your daily tools (Looker, Amplitude, MixPanel, etc.)
What the job involves
- As an innovative B2B SaaS company that’s changing the way product teams around the world build products, we recognize the importance of building a dedicated internal Growth team to further solidify our position on the market
- For this reason, we’re looking for an experienced Frontend Engineer to help lead the charge
- You’ll join a cross-functional team consisting of engineers, a designer, product analyst and product manager to help fuel Productboard’s growth
- Together, you’ll focus on three main areas and challenges:
- Guiding new customers: Our large customers receive all the care they need when purchasing Productboard
- This includes a detailed sales process, being provided with solutions architects, and training
- For smaller customers, however, such extensive support doesn’t make economic sense
- And that’s where the Growth team comes in
- Together, you’ll help introduce our customers to Productboard, show them how best to use particular features and functions, and help them to fully understand how it’ll make their future work easier
- Setting prices and composing packages or plans: You’ll revise how different Productboard functionalities are packaged and analyze our pricing models
- Currently, basic pricing plans are stripped of certain functionalities
- But the trend is towards making pretty much all functionality available to users but with constraints on usability depending on the pricing plan
- Users can see the potential of certain features, and if they’re interested, they can pay more to have them unlocked
- Analyzing and optimizing client acquisition and retention: We need to track who comes to our site, who drops out at what particular step of the acquisition process and why, and what causes a company to purchase Productboard but leave after a certain period of time
- This is very important data that will help us improve the entire customer acquisition and retention process
- And that's where the Growth team will help significantly
- Collaborate with product, data and design to build experiments and assess whether they’ll drive acquisition, retention, and monetization metrics
- Evaluate other PLG tools on the market, helping us to decide whether there is a more effective way to solve customer and business problems, such as “How do users get started?”
- Evangelize growth engineering topics and lessons learned to the rest of the company
- Help decide which technical initiatives make it to our roadmap — and explain to key stakeholders why we are pursuing certain initiatives or directions over others
