Growth Engineer (Global) at beehiiv

About beehiiv

beehiiv is where the world's best newsletters, podcasts, and digital products are built, grown, and distributed. The platform combines email, podcast hosting, websites, community, and digital products, connected to a single audience and a single set of tools to publish, grow, and monetize. As beehiiv approaches $50M in annualized revenue and continues to grow almost 100% year over year, its rapidly growing product suite and strong brand position the company for the next stage of hypergrowth.

The engineering team is small, senior, and ambitious. In the age of AI, the quantity of code someone can produce means very little. The team cares about end to end quality, architectural soundness, and people who own outcomes, not tickets.

About the Role

Growth Engineering at beehiiv sits at the seam between marketing, product, and engineering. The team owns the surfaces where someone first meets beehiiv and decides whether to start, create a habit, and pay. beehiiv is hiring a full stack Growth Engineer to join that team, reporting to the Lead Engineer, Growth, and working day to day with the marketing, product, paid acquisition, analytics, and lifecycle teams. You are technically talented, but as importantly have an eye for good design and interactions, can comfortably put yourself in the shoes of prospects and users, and understand experiment design and analysis.

As a team, the group is focused on moving numbers across the funnel. Some of what you ship will be rolled back after a week because the data said so, other work will single handedly deliver months of revenue growth.

Responsibilities

• Build a steady cadence of experiments across signup, onboarding, pricing, and the marketing site, from hypothesis to instrumentation to readout. Multiple live tests a week is the target.
• Instrument the paid funnel end to end so the paid team can see what happens after the click, including on mobile, where a growing share of top of funnel now starts.
• Build and maintain the glue between the product and the growth stack: event tracking, RudderStack pipelines, Customer.io triggers, enrichment, and reverse ETL.
• Contribute to the marketing site and landing page infrastructure so marketing can launch pages, campaigns, and tests quickly without waiting on core product engineering.
• Partner with growth stakeholders to decide what is worth building, and push back with data when it isn't.
• Keep the experimentation system reliable enough that running a test is routine, not a project.

Requirements

• A strong full stack engineer with Rails (or an equivalent backend framework) plus React and TypeScript.
• You have shipped experiments in a high traffic production funnel and can point to a result you drove, with the number.
• Analytical enough to run your own tests without a data team: you can write SQL, define the metric, size the opportunity, and call a result honestly, including when it loses.
• Fast and comfortable with ambiguity. A Slack message on Monday can be a live test by Thursday.
• Taste for landing pages and onboarding UX. You notice when a flow is bad and you can fix it without a designer holding your hand.
• Ownership from idea to deploy to readout. You communicate early and often and think about the success of the project beyond the ticket: comprehensive QA, documentation, and monitoring.
• Experience with Amplitude (or similar experimentation platforms like Statsig or Eppo).

Nice to Have

• Experience with RudderStack, Customer.io, or ClickHouse.
• Exposure to paid acquisition and attribution (how ad platforms, pixels, and conversion APIs actually work).
• Lifecycle, retention, or churn reduction work.
• Familiarity with the newsletter, creator, or publishing space.
• Comfort writing thorough tests and caring about QA.

Technologies

• Ruby on Rails
• React / Next.js, TypeScript
• PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse
• Amplitude, RudderStack, Customer.io

Why This Role Might Be For You

• Direct line of sight from your work to revenue. You will see the numbers move, and so will the leadership team.
• Real autonomy. You own problems, not tickets, and you decide how to solve them.
• A small team with a big surface area and a brand that gives every experiment real traffic from day one.

Why This Role Might Not Be For You

• Half your experiments will lose. If that feels like failure rather than learning, this will wear you down.
• You will have several stakeholders with strong opinions and will need to prioritize between them, often with incomplete information.
• The team moves quickly and expects both speed and quality. There is no trade off offered between the two.

Core Values

• There's no room for B players: the best makes everyone better.
• Maniacal sense of urgency: speed is the superpower.
• Say what you think with positive intent: disagree openly and give hard feedback directly, with the intent to help someone improve.
• User obsessed: every decision starts with one question, how does this add value for the user?
• Ego comes second, winning comes first: the team comes before the individual.

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Stock options
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) employer match
• Unlimited PTO (mandatory 10 days per year minimum)
• Annual in person team offsite
• Unlimited book budget
• Monthly Wellness Days (every third Friday of the month)
