Overview

The Product Engineer (Growth) is responsible for designing, building, and executing rapid experimentation cycles to drive measurable growth across Plastic Bank's digital products and platforms. This role focuses on shipping bi-weekly experiments, building MVPs, and contributing to technical architecture that supports acquisition, activation, and monetization goals. The position requires hands-on technical execution using modern web development tools and AI-assisted development practices.

Responsibilities

Experiment Design & Execution (60% building, 20% running, 20% analysis)

• Design and launch bi-weekly growth experiments targeting acquisition, activation, conversion, or retention metrics
• Build customer-facing features, internal tools, and standalone prototypes/MVPs
• Execute A/B tests, feature flag deployments, and landing page experiments
• Instrument tracking and analytics to measure experiment outcomes
• Analyze experiment results and provide data-driven recommendations (scale, iterate, or terminate)

Technical Development

• Write and deploy production code for web applications using existing tech stack (Vercel, PostHog, Loops, N8N)
• Utilize AI-powered development tools to accelerate build cycles
• Collaborate with full-stack developers to integrate validated experiments into core product
• Maintain version control practices (Git) and follow deployment workflows
• Build feedback mechanisms to gather user insights and inform future experiments

Performance Measurement & Reporting

• Track key growth metrics and experiment performance using PostHog analytics platforms
• Report experiment outcomes to wider Tech team with clear next steps
• Maintain documentation of experiments, learnings, and technical implementations
• Identify and prioritize new growth opportunities based on data analysis
