- Work cross‑functionally with growth PMs, designers, and data scientists to define hypotheses, prioritize experiments, and measure impact on key metrics (activation, conversion, churn, etc).
- Build and maintain high‑quality, reusable components for growth surfaces (paywalls, modals, tooltips, etc.) and ensure they’re performant and hyper-optimized.
- You will work with the core team to design and implement novel mobile experiences
Qualifications

- Experience with payment integrations (Apple In‑App Purchase, Stripe, RevenueCat) and subscription flows.
- Enjoys the craft of building nice UI, creating a good UX, and writing reusable and testable code
- Understands low-level intricacies, and knows how to profile and measure app performance and speed
