Full-stack Growth Engineer

We are looking for a talented Full-stack Growth Engineer to join our team full-time. In this role, you will be building features, tools, and automations to improve our PLG business, including user acquisition, retention, and monetization. You will help foster a culture of speed, experimentation and data-driven decision making, and define best practices for iterating in increasingly tight feedback loops.

This is a great role for former technical founders and early employees - someone who knows what it takes to grow a startup, and stops at nothing to get the results we're after. It touches all areas of the business and involves a broad spectrum of technologies, hacks, and permanent solutions.

You will

• Join the Growth Engineering team and contribute to the development and execution of features, experiments, and automations

• Own technical solutions end-to-end, from ideation to iteration based on data and user feedback

• Work across the stack from top to bottom, comfortably navigating codebases with different languages and tools

• Participate in on-call rotations to handle and resolve critical growth-related issues

We're looking for someone who has

• 5+ years of experience building and growing a SaaS business

• A strong sense for estimating project impact and outcomes

• Opinions about what makes developers love or hate developer products

• Experience in fuzzy / unpredictable environments, and the ability to scope down relentlessly to focus on shipping and learning fast

• 1+ year experience developing backend systems, ideally in Go

• 5+ years experience developing Web UI, ideally in Typescript and React

• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure technologies such as Kubernetes, Docker, Github CI/CD, cloud (AWS, Azure, etc.)

About Neon

Neon is building open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL. Our architecture separates storage from compute, allowing for stateless and serverless Postgres. We’re a well-funded startup with deep knowledge of Postgres internals and decades of experience building databases. We are a systems company; we work on low-level code with strict performance and correctness requirements.

Neon was created by a team of Postgres hackers and led by CEO Nikita Shamgunov (co-founder of SingleStore). Neon is built on open-source principles and is focused on giving back to the Postgres and developer communities.

Our Team

• We are a distributed team of 120+ people working from 25+ countries (concentrating around North American and European time zones)

• We are a team built on open source cultural principles (transparency, contribution, accountability, proactivity)

• Team with decades of experience building databases and deep knowledge of Postgres internals. We are deeply technical

• We have experienced Postgres committers and hackers on the team (check Heikki, Anastasia, Matthias profiles)

• We believe in the efficacy of collaborative open-source

• We aim for a diversity of thoughts and backgrounds

• We are keen to be a fast-moving, flat org and avoid hierarchical structures
