Software Engineering Manager, Growth

Location: Must be U.S. based. Strong preference for candidates based in EST or able to work core EST hours.

Role Overview

A mid-size, high-growth visual collaboration software company is seeking a Software Engineering Manager to lead its Growth Engineering team. This leader will own the experimentation engine that drives acquisition, conversion, and lifetime value across a product-led, consumer-driven motion.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead a small, high-impact team of 5 engineers focused on product-led growth and experimentation across the funnel.
  • Own the growth engineering roadmap across acquisition, conversion, retention, and LTV in close partnership with Product, Marketing, and Data.
  • Design, implement, and analyze A/B and multivariate experiments end-to-end, translating learnings into clear product and roadmap decisions.
  • Scale the existing experimentation and A/B testing platform to handle roughly 10x current experiment volume.
  • Guide the team in building and shipping full‑stack features (Node.js/TypeScript preferred) that improve signup, onboarding, activation, engagement, and monetization.
  • Review technical specs, architecture proposals, and PRs, providing pragmatic, constructive feedback that unblocks engineers.
  • Contribute hands-on code when appropriate, particularly in early-stage projects or to frame complex technical work.
  • Own and optimize CAC for self‑serve acquisition in partnership with Growth and Marketing (paid channels, referrals, organic/SEO).
  • Instill a data‑driven culture: define funnel metrics, ensure robust instrumentation, and set guardrails for safe experimentation.
  • Coach and develop engineers through 1:1s, feedback, and career support, helping them grow while maintaining a high‑ownership culture.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production code, ideally in a modern Node.js / TypeScript environment.
  • 2+ years of engineering management or formal tech-lead experience with people management responsibilities.
  • Strong full‑stack foundation; comfortable diving into frontend, backend, and data layers to support the team.
  • Deep understanding of growth levers: acquisition, activation, conversion, retention, and LTV.
  • Demonstrated experience optimizing funnels and running experiments with clear, measurable business impact.
  • Proven ownership of A/B tests from hypothesis and design through implementation, rollout, and results interpretation.
  • Experience partnering with Marketing/Growth to manage and optimize CAC across self-serve channels.
  • Strong technical judgment and code quality bar; able to review specs and PRs and communicate trade‑offs clearly.
  • Excellent communication skills and cross‑functional collaboration experience in a SaaS or product-led environment.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Stripe integrations or other similar billing/subscription platforms.
  • Background in PLG environments or experimentation platforms focused on conversion optimization.
  • Prior experience in visual collaboration, productivity, or adjacent B2B SaaS products.
  • Familiarity with experimentation tooling, feature flagging, and growth analytics platforms.
