- Passionate about growth engineering and driving product adoption
- Comfortable working with data analytics tools and interpreting data to make informed decisions
- Excited to bring innovative new ideas to the table and eager to learn
- Enjoy having top-to-bottom ownership of new features, including crafting technical specs, writing readable and extensible code, and keeping tabs on post-release metrics

What the job involves
- At Fellow, the Growth engineering team operates with agility, speed, and a relentless focus on having high impact
- The team ships code to production every week, rapidly iterating on features and experiments that drive user growth and engagement
- As a Senior Growth Engineer, you'll thrive in this fast-paced environment where quick feedback loops and data-driven decisions are key to success
- Development practices are supported by a robust CI pipeline, comprehensive testing, and a thoughtfully designed code structure, ensuring exceptional code quality is maintained even as the team moves quickly
- Collaboration is at the heart of the team—working closely with product managers, designers, and data analysts to align efforts and achieve growth objectives
- We believe that fostering a strong team culture is essential for innovation and success
- We host regular book clubs centered around technical books, organize lunch-and-learns where team members share knowledge and insights, and hold bi-annual hackathons to build out our boldest ideas
- We also place great importance on contributing to the engineering community: many team members are involved in open-source projects, publish technical articles, and speak at conferences and local meetups
- As a leader, you will encourage and support your team's professional growth and community engagement, fostering an environment of continuous learning and knowledge sharing
- Drive Growth Initiatives: Implement features and experiments that drive user acquisition, engagement, and retention
- Full-Stack Development: Build across the entire stack of our application. We use React, TypeScript, Django, Python, Relay, GraphQL, and more
- Experimentation and Innovation: Constantly experiment with new AI technologies and LLMs, discovering ways to use them to improve the meeting experience
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work directly with our team of designers, product leads (including the Growth Product Manager), and QA analysts to create intuitive interfaces and great experiences
- Data-Driven Approach: Use data to inform decisions, set hypotheses, and measure the success of your work
- Code Quality and Testing: Contribute to our CI pipeline by writing unit tests, regression tests, and integration tests for your code
- Team Collaboration: Collaborate closely with teammates to build new features and participate in constructive code reviews
- Technical Documentation: Write and contribute to technical specs, define and monitor release metrics
- Adopt Best Practices: Promote engineering best practices within the team and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and methodologies
Our take
The quality and quantity of meetings has long been a problem in many workplaces, and the shift to remote/hybrid work over recent years has pushed it to boiling point. It’s no surprise then that meeting-optimization software company Fellow has found plenty of success in the space.
Fellow is a comprehensive meeting productivity app that allows users to construct agendas, record notes, assign items and more all through a single platform. The company has enjoyed strong growth since its launch, but faces a host of contenders similarly looking to dominate this burgeoning market.
Whilst Fellow’s offering seems more comprehensive and customizable than competitors like GoogleDocs and Hugo, the comparison becomes tighter against Adam.ai and Docket. That said, the company has attracted big-name clients like Motorola, Shopify, and Uber, which should help it compete as the market evolves.

Company values
- Write the playbook - We listen and we learn but we evaluate things from first principles. This means that we are not here to follow playbooks for success, we are here to write the playbook
- Set the bar high - We are an essential part of our users’ days. We help them manage their interactions at work. We help make work better for them. In order to help them with such an important mission, we have to have a very high quality bar
- Pace quickly - We name this value pace quickly instead of move quickly because we want to emphasize that we want to be measured in our approach and it’s through this considerate pacing that much of our speed is achieved
- Swing for the fences - Sometimes we will try things that have a low probability of payoff but enormously high returns if they do. We use a methodology known in investing as the barbell strategy. 80% of the time, we do things that have a high probability of paying off and little to no downside. 20% of the time, we make bigger bets that have a lower probability of payoff but have an enormous upside if they do
- Experiment and Grow - By knowing that it’s ok to fail, we will be more willing to experiment with and try things that we might not otherwise have thought of and this is what will help us achieve outsized outcomes
- Fellowship - We must have each other’s backs and support each other as we all have a shared mission and the only way to achieve it is with each other
