• Own and drive technical direction for growth features and experiments across mobile and web.
• Lead an empowered team that works with full autonomy to ideate, test, and launch.
• Build and iterate quickly: onboarding flows, pricing experiments, paywall A/B tests, referral features, notifications, personalized content, and more.
• Work hands-on in Unity (C#), web (TypeScript/React/Node) and/or Python (Flask).
• Collaborate with product, data, and marketing to find leverage points in the user journey.

• Help scale up a world-class growth engineering practice inside Yousician.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 1–2 years in a tech lead role.
• A full-stack builder mindset: You’re at home in the front-end, back-end, and aren’t scared of Unity. With strong skills in at least one of the main technologies we have.
• Track record of launching A/B tests and growth features in consumer apps or platforms.
• You think in terms of experiments and outcomes, not features and outputs.
• Comfort working autonomously in fast-moving environments with lots of ownership.
• Bonus: Experience with subscriptions, onboarding, funnel analytics, or mobile growth.

Nice to Have

• Deep Unity/C# experience.
• Experience with web frameworks (React, Next.js, Node.js) and deployment pipelines.
• Worked in a startup, scale-up, or built products with strong product-market fit.
• A personal love of music or learning is a big plus.

WHAT WE OFFER

• An opportunity to shape and grow our new Berlin office with direct influence on product and technical directions.
