# Growth Engineer

Engineer who ships growth experiments. Hybrid PM / IC role.

## About this role

Growth Engineers sit between marketing and engineering. They ship landing pages, A/B test infrastructure, signup flows, referral systems, and the data pipelines that power experimentation. Best-fit candidates are full-stack engineers (React/Next.js + Node/Python) who care about user behavior and metrics, not just code quality. The role is rare but high-leverage, one good Growth Engineer often unlocks more value than two marketers because they remove the engineering bottleneck. Common at PLG SaaS, marketplaces, and consumer apps.
