Growth Engineer

Exa is building a search engine for the AI era. Our Search API currently powers agents Fortune 500s and AI labs as we transform an industry that hasnt been disrupted since the 90s. Were a largely SF-based team of 100 from Harvard MIT Meta Google Research ex-founders & dropouts alike.

We recently raised an $85M Series B from Benchmark and we are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history. Were high agency low-ego and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.

Our researchers train embed and serve our own large-scale search index. Our engineers are shipping upgrades and new features to our API product every day. Many people know Exa but few have seen the best that the product can produce.

Thats where you come in.

On the Growth Engineering team youll live in Claude Code and ship things that help us get customers: launch strategies ads systems landing pages SEO pipelines viral tools automated outbound. Exas product itself can be used a growth tool. Youll use our own API to generate targeting lists research accounts and build infrastructure nobody else in the industry can replicate.

This could look like:

• Building new paid acquisition systems from scratch and decide where we allocate budget.

• Shipping well-designed pages optimized for SEO & AEO that drive actual pipeline.

• Making something that goes viral in a developer community over a weekend.

• Turning a working experiment into a system that runs without anyone touching it.

This role looks different depending on your strengths:

1. Data-driven: You see a target account list and figure out how to measurably put Exa in front of every one of them. Focused on paid channels attribution and CAC.

2. Creative: You build things that spread. To understand our customer youre probably chronically online and find guerilla marketing tactics to reach them.

3. Infrastructure: You turn experiments into systems and make the whole team faster. You were likely a full-time SWE before this.

Youre a fit if:

• Youre a hacker at heart. You see arbitrage everywhere and will find a creative way to win.

• Youve been a marketer who taught themselves to code an engineer who couldnt stop thinking about distribution or something else entirely that doesnt fit any existing title.

• Youre the kind of person who sees a growth problem and has three ideas before anyone finishes describing it.
