Desirable

• As a Technical Lead on the Growth team, you will own the fullstack architecture for our customer-facing conversion and engagement surfaces, with a primary focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows
• You’ll lead 3–6 engineers through multi-month projects, balancing hands-on backend development with architectural leadership across the stack
• Define and evolve the fullstack architecture for Growth surfaces — landing pages, onboarding flows, conversion funnels, and personalization layers — with a focus on backend services, APIs, and data flows that power these experiences
• Champion a component-driven design system with modular, testable patterns that support A/B testing, feature flagging, and rapid experimentation
• Drive performance optimization across the stack — backend response times, API efficiency, database query performance, and frontend delivery (Core Web Vitals, bundle size, rendering) — as a lever for conversion and engagement
• Partner with Design, Product, and Marketing to scope experiments, translate requirements into scalable backend services and accessible frontend implementations, and prioritize conversion improvements
• Translate technical constraints to non-technical stakeholders and use written documentation to drive alignment on architectural decisions
• Remain hands-on: write and review code daily across backend (Ruby, Python) and frontend (TypeScript/React), with the majority of your time spent on backend services, APIs, and infrastructure
• Provide accurate milestone estimates, monitor progress against schedules, and proactively communicate risks to stakeholders
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship:
• Mentor engineers on backend best practices, API design, database modeling, and the business context of their work
• Lead backend design reviews independently and establish standards for code quality, performance, and testing coverage
