The Challenge
8090 is building a Software Factory that auto-generates complete software systems-backed by Chamath Palihapitiya. You'll design the growth loops, onboarding, and lifecycle automation that turns curious prospects into power users who keep coming back.
Your Mission
Map the current user journey from signup to first value moment; identify top 3 drop-off points and run experiments to reduce friction by 20%+
Build and launch a polished demo environment with 3-5 compelling use-case walkthroughs that convert interest to activation
Create and deploy lifecycle automation sequences (welcome flow, re-engagement, expansion) across email and in-product for 80%+ of users
Establish baseline cohort and funnel metrics; create weekly dashboards tracking activation, retention, and expansion rates
Increase activation (reaching first key milestone) by 35%+ through optimized onboarding and in-product guidance
Reduce month-1 churn by 25%+ via retention-focused experiments and enablement content tied to common blockers
Launch 5+ pieces of technical content (case studies, walkthroughs, reference examples) that drive self-serve adoption and expansion
Scale enterprise expansion motion: create repeatable playbooks and internal enablement materials for 10+ customer accounts
KPIs You'll Own
Activation Rate (% users reaching first key milestone within 7 days)
Core north star-shows how quickly new users experience product value.
Day-30 Retention Cohort %
Measures sticky engagement after initial onboarding; target sustained month-over-month improvement.
Expansion Revenue / Upsell Rate

Demo-to-Trial Conversion %

Is This Role For You?
- You obsess over user behavior-you actually watch session recordings and form hypotheses before jumping to solutions
- You can straddle technical and marketing worlds: comfortable reading code, scripting automations, and building compelling demos
- You're drawn to lifecycle and activation challenges-turning confused prospects into engaged, expanding customers is your jam
- You thrive in early-stage, fast-moving environments where you own the full funnel from first touch to expansion
- You prefer staying heads-down in one discipline (pure marketing or pure engineering); this role demands both
- You need remote flexibility; this is on-site in Menlo Park or Toronto-no exceptions
- You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or prefer working from a prescriptive playbook; you'll be building the playbook here
