The team

The Growth Engagement team is a new, fast-moving squad focused on one thing: bringing users back and keeping them engaged. We build the systems behind rewards, re-engagement campaigns, referral programs, and conversion experiments that directly move revenue and retention metrics. Think push notifications that drive meaningful traffic, loyalty programs, gamification, and geo-expansion experiments — greenfield work with real impact.

As Tech Lead on the Growth Engagement team, you'll be the technical anchor for a small squad of 3–5 engineers — deeply hands-on in the code while providing the clarity and direction that keeps the team executing at pace. You'll own the technical foundation for a greenfield engagement platform, making early architectural decisions that will shape how we build rewards, notifications, and experimentation capabilities for years to come.

This role is for engineers who thrive in ambiguity, love building from scratch, and are energized by seeing their work directly move metrics. You're not a pure people manager — you're a technical leader who ships alongside your team.

This role is fully remote. We consider candidates in EU and EST US/LATAM timezones.

The opportunity

• Own the technical direction and delivery for re-engagement and rewards systems — from push notification infrastructure to loyalty mechanics and gamification features.

• Stay hands-on in the codebase, writing production-grade code and setting the bar for quality, reliability, and speed.

• Make early architectural decisions for a greenfield system — designing for experimentation velocity and iterative growth.

• Break down fast-moving initiatives from leadership into clear, executable plans your squad can ship in ~1-week cycles.

• Partner with Product to scope and run experiments — referral optimization, geo-exp
