Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years of software engineering experience, front-end leaning with genuine full-stack breadth
- You think in experiments. You can articulate what moved because of your work, not just what you built
- You're comfortable with throwaway work. When a test fails, you kill it and move on
- You're autonomous and low-dependency. You thrive with a hypothesis and a deadline, not a detailed spec
- You're data-driven. You define success before you build, and you look at the numbers before you declare a win
- AI tools like Claude Code are already a big part of how you work, and you’re hungry to get better at them
- Sound like you but not quite 100%? Apply anyway - we're looking for potential and passion, not perfect CV match!
What the job involves
- Lottie's marketplace connects millions of families with the right care at the right time. We've built something real - now we need to grow it faster, smarter, and with more precision than a traditional engineering team can
- We're looking for a Senior Growth Engineer to join a small, focused Marketplace team and own the full experiment loop - from hypothesis to code to result
- You'll work closely with a PM and designer to run high-velocity tests, feed signal back to Google to sharpen our ad performance, and build the lightweight tooling that lets us learn faster than our competitors
- This is a role for someone who ships first, learns fast, and doesn't look back. If you need things to be perfect before they go live, this probably isn't the right fit
- 💻 What does this role involve?
- Running end-to-end experiments across Lottie's marketplace, from ideation through implementation to result analysis
- Building and optimising conversion-focused front-end experiences, often with limited design input
- Writing code that sends performance data back to Google to improve ad targeting and campaign efficiency
- Automating parts of our Google Ads configuration and campaign management
- Owning A/B test pipelines and iterating quickly based on real usage data
- Working autonomously within a lean, fast team
- 💪 What problems will you be solving?
- Turning traffic into outcomes. Our marketplace is trusted by half a million families a month. You'll be closing the gap between the families who land on Lottie and the ones who find the right care. Every experiment you run is a chance to make that faster, clearer, and more effective
- Making our ad spend smarter. You'll build the pipelines and integrations that help Google understand what a good Lottie outcome looks like, so our campaigns optimise toward the things that actually matter
- Moving fast in a space that matters. Care decisions are urgent and emotionally charged. Getting families to the right information faster isn't just a conversion metric. It's a meaningful outcome for real people

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Choosing a care home is often a hugely daunting, complex, and expensive process, coming at a time that's already stressful enough. What's more, the UK's ageing population is growing at an increasing rate, putting more strain on social care than ever before. The result is that 44% of care seekers often ultimately regret their choice of care home, something that has had increasing attention since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lottie aims to address this in part by simplifying the process of finding the perfect care home for every individual's specific needs. Its online marketplace gives users all the tools to select and compare the UK's best-performing care homes, taking into account CQC reports, facilities, treatment methods, and location.
Having received investment, Lottie aims to continue its growth to reshape the future of the care industry. It is doing so with a strong emphasis on data and real-time information, collecting datasets that will be vital not just to its business operations, but potentially to the UK government and healthcare policy too.
