Senior Software Engineer II - Product Growth

Kit is an email-first operating system for creators who mean business. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to build the in-product experiences that connect creator needs to realized value, increasing the number of creators who succeed through the product while driving Kit's growth.

Responsibilities:

• Get oriented in our onboarding curriculum in Notion and get access to key tools — Linear, Figma, Slack, Looker, Omni and our experimentation infrastructure
• Start meeting your teammates and cross-functional partners through GTKYs
• Get a feel for our codebase, our current funnel metrics, and where the biggest opportunities live
• Dig into the data and current growth opportunities
• Understand where creators are dropping off and why, and you have a clear point of view on what's driving disengagement and where the highest-leverage retention opportunities are
• Start contributing to active experiments or funnel improvements while you build context
• Ship your first changes, to get a real feel for how we move and contribute to our growth strategy
• Own the end-to-end execution of multiple growth initiatives across the funnel
• You're not waiting for a spec, you're helping identify the highest-leverage bets, scoping them with the team, building them, measuring the outcome, and sharing what you learned
• You've shipped experiments and owned complex projects that moved meaningful metrics and can speak clearly to what worked and what didn't
• You've established the technical patterns and measurement practices the growth team relies on
• You’re a leader on the Growth squad and a strong, trusted partner to Product
• You have a clear point of view on what the funnel needs, and you're coaching others toward more analytical, outcome-driven ways of working

Requirements:

• Full-stack engineering experience, ideally comfortable with Ruby on Rails and React
• Product judgment with the ability to think about the experience, not just the implementation
• Data-informed decision-making skills, comfortable in SQL and familiar with analytics tooling like Omni and Mixpanel
• Understanding of acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization as a system
• Ability to build reusable infrastructure that accelerates future projects
• Comfort with legacy systems and ability to context-switch between fast experimentation and slower, more deliberate technical work
• Software engineering experience on product-led initiatives at a SaaS company
• Experience working on a product with recurring revenue, trials, or conversion milestones
• Experience leading experiments end-to-end and articulating learnings from both successful and unsuccessful experiments
• Experience shipping improvements across multiple parts of the funnel
• Experience working on a remote-first or distributed team with minimal process overhead
• Ability to think like a product person and bring a point of view on what the funnel needs
• High agency and ability to work independently while collaborating closely with teammates
• Ability to work in public, sharing progress and documenting decisions clearly
• Analytical mindset with a focus on measuring outcomes and knowing when enough data exists to make decisions
• Belief that creator success is tied to the company's success
• Comfort in early-stage team conditions and ability to thrive in ambiguity
