Growth Engineer

We're looking for a Growth Engineer to join our team! You'll be working on the full lifecycle of growth initiatives - from shaping hypotheses with Product and Marketing, to building and shipping full stack features in React and TypeScript, to digging into the data and learning what moves the needle.

This role exists to accelerate the way we connect solo travellers across the globe. Your work will directly impact how we grow - whether that's increasing conversion, improving retention, or helping more people discover the value of our community. It's a mix of experimentation, iteration, and customer insight.

If you thrive on A/B testing, measure success in customer impact rather than lines of code, and love the buzz of seeing customers react to something you shipped that day, this could be the role for you! You can expect autonomy, a culture of connection and continuous learning.

In line with our salary framework, the salary for this role is A365,000 to A385,000 p.a. depending on experience. We also offer stock options after your first year with the company.

• Driving feature development by leading technical exploration, defining and scoping work collaboratively, and keeping everyone aligned.
• Running A/B tests and experiments, forming hypotheses, implementing features, and analysing results.
• Maintaining and refactoring different services, keeping the codebase clean for the next engineer.
• Leveraging customer interviews and data insights, and collaborating with Product & Design to craft friction-free flows that get customers excited.
• Instrumenting analytics and event tracking so we can continually learn and improve.

Requirements

What we'd love to see from you

• Proven delivery of web products using React, TypeScript and modern front-end tooling, with clean, maintainable code.

• Data-driven decision-making 27you frame problems with metrics, spot insights quickly and optimise for business impact.
• Strong product empathy & UX instincts, turning complex user journeys into simple and engaging flows.
• Clear, collaborative communication that builds trust with engineers, designers, marketers and stakeholders alike.
• Hands-on ownership of A/B experiments 27designing hypotheses, instrumenting tests, understanding the data and communicating results.
• Driven by a growth mindset, you actively seek feedback and learning opportunities to level up your craft, and leverage new AI tools to improve your productivity and maximise your impact.
• Hands-on experience in lean and autonomous teams, comfortable with ambiguity, minimal process, and rapid iteration. You favour pragmatic solutions over theoretical perfection.
