Growth Engineer

Every day, millions of people use apps made with Expo - from public health apps to food delivery apps to dating apps to bitcoin wallets. Great organizations like Brex, Coinbase, Flexport, RBI, SpaceX, and Sweetgreen trust Expo to help them build top-notch application software in record time. When we make improvements to the Expo libraries and tools, hundreds of thousands of developers benefit and build better software faster for millions of their users.

Everyone on the Expo team works on something important because we have a small team and we do a lot of things. We strive to create an environment where everyone is set up to do their best work. Each person on the team has a lot of flexibility and autonomy to work the way that works the best for them.

Perks and benefits

We offer competitive compensation and a supportive environment to help you do your best work:

• Compensation: Competitive salary + equity package.
• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision) - U.S. only.
• Retirement: 401(k) plan with company matching - U.S. only.
• Equipment budget: $6,000 to set up your ideal work setup (laptop, monitor, etc.).
• Flexible schedule: We care about outcomes, not 9-to-5 hours. Adjust your work schedule to when you’re most productive.
• Flexible PTO: Take the time you need - employees average about 17 days off per year (in addition to regional holidays).
• Parental leave: 12-week fully paid parental leave for all new parents.
• Continuous learning: Annual budget for courses, books, or training to invest in your professional development.
• Community & Growth: Opportunities to speak at conferences, represent Expo at industry events, and attend regional meetups with the team.

We're looking for a Growth Engineer to accelerate our product-led growth flywheel across activation, retention, and monetization. You'll work at the intersection of engineering, data, and product-owning end-to-end experiments and features that directly impact our core metrics. This is a high-autonomy role with a tight build-measure-learn loop, deep ownership, and direct impact on how developers discover and adopt Expo.

What you will do

• Design, implement, and analyze A/B experiments across sign-up, activation, onboarding, and upgrade funnels to improve conversion and retention
• Build and iterate on growth features-referral systems, in-product nudges, email sequences, and pricing page optimizations
• Instrument and own product analytics to deeply understand user behavior, identify drop-off points, and surface growth opportunities
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Marketing, and Data teams to drive acquisition, activation, and monetization initiatives
• Build growth infrastructure-experiment frameworks, feature flagging, segmentation, and attribution systems
• Investigate causes of user churn and pain points, then ship solutions that measurably improve the developer experience
• Drive understanding of our core user journeys-from first project creation through paid subscription and expansion

Requirements

• 3-5 years of software engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years focused on growth, experimentation, or product-led initiatives
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred)
• Full-stack capabilities-comfortable working across the stack from frontend to backend to data pipelines
• Data-driven mindset with experience designing experiments, analyzing results, and making decisions based on metrics
• Experience with product analytics tools (Rudderstack, Looker, DBT, or similar) and SQL for data analysis
• Strong product intuition and ability to balance shipping quickly with building durable solutions
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work autonomously in a remote environment

Nice to have

• Experience with React Native or mobile development
• PLG experience in developer tools, devops, or infrastructure products
• Experience building and operating experimentation frameworks
• Background in a high-growth startup environment
• Experience with email marketing automation and lifecycle marketing tools (HubSpot, Customer.io, etc.)
• Familiarity with SaaS metrics-MRR, NDR, cohort retention, LTV/CAC
