What you’ll do

We’re looking for an experienced Staff Growth Engineer to join our team and lead initiatives focused on accelerating the growth of Stripe Billing. In this role, you will be responsible for defining and implementing data-driven strategies to improve user acquisition, adoption, and retention across many of Stripe’s user-facing surfaces. As the team’s first growth engineer, you will help foster a culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making, and define best practices that enable the team to iterate and learn in increasingly tight feedback loops. You will excel in this role if you’re a growth-focused full stack engineer who can collaborate effectively across multiple teams and functions to deliver results.

You will:

• Lead by example by designing and implementing experiments across all of the surfaces that Billing Experiences owns, including the Stripe dashboard, hosted surfaces, and docs. 
• Partner closely with engineering, product, and design leadership to define our growth and experimentation strategy.
• Establish best practices, frameworks, and repeatable processes that enable us to measure the impact of every feature that we ship.
• Foster a culture of experimentation and data-driven decision making on the team and the broader organization.
• Build a deep understanding of our data, and identify opportunities to track additional metrics or build new data pipelines to further operationalize growth.
• Work in a variety of languages and technologies, including Ruby, Java, Typescript, React, and GraphQL.

You may be a fit for this role if:

• You have 10+ years of experience in full time software development, and 2+ years of experience working in a growth-focused role or team.
• You have a deep understanding of A/B testing techniques and experimentation methodologies 
• You can work effectively across the stack from top to bottom. You’re equally as comfortable shipping user-facing experiences as you are writing custom queries to analyze experiment results. 
• You’re self-directed and can operate autonomously across multiple teams to deliver scaled impact.
• You’re an effective teacher and mentor.
