Senior or Staff Growth Engineer

About The Role

We’re building a brand new Growth Pod at Skylight, and this is one of its founding engineering roles. You’ll be joining a small, focused team with a clear mandate: improve the metrics that power this business. That means subscription attach rate, retention, and related growth goals across our products.

This is a role that will grow and evolve as the Pod does, but we'd expect you to spend most of your time building, iterating, and running experiments in our React Native mobile/web app, with some time in our Shopify + Hydrogen e-commerce website.

Our ideal candidate is a versatile frontend engineer with deep experience in Typescript and React and/or React Native, who is equally comfortable reasoning about business outcomes as they are writing clean, well-tested code. You care deeply about how your work moves the needle, not just whether it shipped. And you bring rigor to experimentation: designing tests carefully, and building experiences that real families will encounter every day.

Your title and compensation will be determined by your experience and expertise. Our bottom-line requirements are a strong foundation in Typescript, React, A/B testing, and analytics, along with a genuine interest in growth and experimentation, and a drive to deliver outcomes that matter to the business.

Responsibilities

• Build, launch, and iterate on experiments across our React Native app and e-commerce site to improve subscription attach rate, retention, and other growth metrics.
• Implement new features and UI flows in our mobile/web app with a high bar for quality and user experience.
• Help evaluate, implement, and configure the A/B testing and experimentation tools the Growth Pod adopts.
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and growth-focused cross-functional partners to move quickly from hypothesis to live test.
• Write high-quality, reusable, and maintainable code, and contribute to a comprehensive test suite to ensure stability as we ship fast.
• Participate in code reviews and bring constructive, thoughtful feedback to elevate the team’s work.
• Help establish processes for monitoring performance and tracking experiment results and health metrics.

Requirements

• Extensive experience (5+ years) with Typescript and React, with meaningful production work in React Native and/or a modern e-commerce frontend stack. Experience with Shopify (and especially with Hydrogen) would be amazing.
• Genuine interest in growth engineering. You want to understand why users convert (or don’t), and you care about the business outcomes your code produces.
• Comfort with A/B testing concepts and a respect for statistical rigor. You know the difference between a result and a fluke.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture and design patterns, with a high bar for code quality and user experience.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills. You can work fluidly with Product, Design, and Data, and you’re comfortable operating with autonomy on a small, scrappy team.
