Job Summary
Growth Engineer (North America)
About the Role
Were looking for a Growth Engineer to be the engineering counterpart to our Growth PM the person who actually ships the onboarding flows paywalls experiments instrumentation and lifecycle integrations that move our most important numbers. Youll write production code across our full stack but your unit of work isnt tickets its user activation free-to-paid conversion retention and channel-level efficiency.
This is a high-leverage moment to join. We grew revenue 7x last year were launching OpenArt Director (our new vibe directing category) and were expanding into Brazil India and Europe. The growth surface area is enormous and almost none of it has been seriously engineered yet.
Youll sit with the Growth PM the Growth Designer and our marketing and lifecycle leads in person in the Bay Area and report into the founders.
OpenArt is a leading AI Creative Platform for visual storytelling used by millions worldwide. Were building the next generation of creative tools powered by cutting-edge AI enabling anyone to create videos images visuals characters and stories with unprecedented speed and imagination. We believe the future of creativity is AI-native and were shaping that future.
Real growth leverage. Millions of users fast-growing revenue and a paywall and onboarding that havent been seriously engineered yet. Big numbers to move.
You ship not spec. Growth Engineering at OpenArt is a builder role. You own features end to end design partnership code experiment readout follow-up.
Category-defining product launches. OpenArt Director global expansion and new model capabilities all need a growth engineer from day one.
Hyper-growth and huge market opportunity. OpenArt is growing fast (7x revenue growth last year) and is one of the leaders in an exploding new product category.
High ownership low process. We value judgment clarity and speed over bureaucracy.
Founder-led engineering culture. Both founders are technical and deeply involved in product and architecture. Youll get sharp code review and real engineering partnership at the top.
4 years of full-stack product engineering at a consumer or pro-sumer company with at least some of that time embedded with a growth monetization or onboarding team
Strong with our stack or close adjacents: TypeScript React Node Postgres running on a major cloud (were on Google Cloud Platform)
Youve shipped paywalls pricing experiments onboarding flows or lifecycle integrations that moved a real number and you can walk through the implementation choices and what you learned
Comfortable owning a feature end to end: schema backend frontend instrumentation experiment setup rollout and post-launch iteration
Solid instrumentation instincts. You know how to design events that survive contact with a real funnel analysis six months later and youve worked with tools like Amplitude Stripe Meta Pixel Meta Conversions API (CAPI) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
Comfortable in data analysis you can pull your own numbers and dont wait for someone else to confirm whether your experiment moved the metric
Strong product instincts. You can look at a funnel talk to a few users and form your own view on what to build next and push back when the spec is wrong
Bias to speed. Youd rather ship a clean V1 behind a flag today than a perfect V3 in three weeks
Demonstrate an AI-native approach to daily workflows by effectively leveraging AI tools to improve productivity creativity and decision-making.
Experience with experimentation platforms (such as LaunchDarkly)
Stripe depth subscriptions webhooks invoicing customer portal Adaptive Pricing and the joys of off-cycle charges
Attribution work Meta CAPI with deduplication server-side events post-purchase surveys position-bias-aware survey design
Lifecycle tooling Iterable Braze or similar and the data-pipeline work behind them
Programmatic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) generating large numbers of high-quality landing pages from structured data and the headless content management system (CMS) work that goes with it (Strapi or similar)
Internationalization (i18n) regional payment integrations (Pix UPI KOMOJU TapPay ECPay) and the realities of shipping to non-English markets
Background in consumer AI or generative AI products
Creative tools / design software background (Adobe Canva Figma or adjacent)
Youve been an early growth engineering hire before and know how to build the function as you go
Make onboarding the strongest part of the funnel. Build per-channel onboarding where it matters different flows for paid organic viral and partnership traffic. Diagnose drop-off ship variants and meaningfully lift activation.
Build the paywall and pricing surface area. Paywall design packaging experiments plan changes upsell flows dunning regional pricing. Own the engineering side of our free-to-paid engine.
Build the experimentation engine. Set up the infrastructure for well-powered experiments with clean readouts: flag system assignment exposure logging guardrails and the analysis layer behind it.
Own growth instrumentation. Event schemas server-side tracking Stripe webhook flows Meta CAPI with deduplication GA4 attribution. The stuff every growth decision depends on.
Ship lifecycle and retention. Email push in-app messaging and resurrection campaigns the integrations the triggers and the experiments inside them.
Power category-defining launches. OpenArt Director invite-code programs new market launches youll own the growth-side engineering: funnel design flag rollouts regional payment methods and reporting from day one.
Be a great partner to PM design and go-to-market. Youre in the same room. You give honest feedback on specs propose alternatives and own the engineering quality of what ships.
$300k-$400k total compensation including base salary bonus equity (competitive compensation based on experience)
