About the role

You are our founding Growth Engineer, and you turn today's experiments into instrumented, repeatable systems across both sides of the marketplace — sellers and buyers. Attribution that we trust. A submission funnel we can measure step by step. Lifecycle messaging that is an owned system rather than a stack of per-campaign setups. Channels we can scale on purpose instead of by accident.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of engineering experience with strong backend (Python, Postgres, AWS or similar) and frontend (React, React Native, JavaScript/TypeScript) chops. This seat is genuinely both
  • A track record of owning growth systems or product features from design to production. Design doc to shipped, not a ticket you closed
  • Fluency with growth tooling and analytics — experimentation and A/B frameworks, product analytics (PostHog, Amplitude, or similar), attribution (AppsFlyer or similar), and lifecycle platforms
  • A sharp instinct for funnels and instrumentation , and the patience to turn messy data into clean, trustworthy signal. Most of the first six months is this
  • Comfort owning a north-star metric. You've held a number publicly, weekly, and you know what it feels like when it doesn't move
  • Strong collaboration and communication. You write great docs, ask smart questions, and give thoughtful feedback

The metric you own: unique submissions. It is our north star, the whole company watches it, and you'll be held to it with the same weekly-reported discipline we hold marketing to.

It's a technical owner who understands growth levers and can build them — thinks like a PM, builds like an engineer. You'll partner directly with our founder and our Head of Marketing, own the funnel end to end, and...
