About the role

Hand you a metric, full data access and the codebase. Can you move it? A seed-funded AI music startup turns any recording into accurate sheet music and helps people learn to play it. 150k+ users in 150 countries, growing 60% a month without spending a dollar on marketing. Now they want an engineer to own the next phase of growth. This is an engineering role, not a viral-marketing or paid-ads role. The CEO believes revenue can grow 20–50% without touching the product or the AI, just by testing systematically. Your work is a cycle: pick a metric (churn, say), dig into the data, talk to users, watch how the product is used, choose an intervention, build it, test it, measure, repeat. The goal for your first six months: roughly 20% extra month-over-month growth that traces directly back to your work. What's rare, and what they want most: real UI/UX instinct that you implement yourself. Your experiments should feel crafted, not like something an LLM produced in one go.

What you'll do:

Drive the core business numbers through engineering
Build and keep up a growth model covering the whole funnel, from acquisition to referralPLG: features that make sharing easy, referral and user-generated content programs, conversion moments inside the product, activation experiments
Dashboards, experiments and reporting on the full funnel and on retention, including tracking how existing UGC and paid ads perform
Lifecycle emails that fire on activation, milestones and churn risk; turning cohort drop-offs into product fixes
Technical and programmatic SEO and AEO, such as auto-generated song pages and small games that pull in new users
Web today, the more game-like mobile app over time
What you bring
Solid engineering across frontend, backend and data. You build and ship.
You can build product changes across the stack, and you're strongest on frontend and UI/UXComfortable with experimentation, statistics, funnels and dashboards. AI-assisted, but you own the output.
A love for consumer growth and analytics
Persistence and curiosity matter more here than your years of experience
Trustworthy and ethical with user data

Bonus points: Growth experience in gaming, where relentless A/B testing is the norm Lifecycle tooling and programmatic SEO/AEOA real connection to music

What's in it for you:

$120k–$200k base
A metric, full data and customer access, and the freedom to optimize it end to end
Visa sponsorship available
Good to know

Full-time, in person in San Francisco, 9-9-5Process: 30-min intro with the CEO → 72-hour take-home (analyze real user data, AI allowed if you share how you used it; design one retention intervention and the analytics to track it) → 30-min review with the founders → three references → paid one-day work trial in the office → offer

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
