Job description

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.

We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

The Growth team owns two areas that together determine how Gamma grows and how that growth turns into a business.

Monetization builds the shared systems that power how Gamma monetizes. The impact here is multiplicative: the platforms you build unlock growth everywhere. These systems turn AI innovation into repeatable, scalable growth.

Self-serve growth works directly on user-facing experiences: onboarding, activation, discovery, and lifecycle flows. This team's work directly shapes how users discover, adopt, stick with, and become Gamma champions.

Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll do

As the engineering leader across both areas, you'll:

• Lead and scale the engineering team across both monetization infrastructure and product-led growth
• Own the monetization platform: payment integrations, subscription management, billing, AI usage tracking and crediting, pricing systems
• Own the growth surfaces: onboarding and activation flows, in-product education and discovery, lifecycle experiences, notifications, and messaging infrastructure
• Collaborate cross-functionally across product, design, data, and other engineering teams. Partner on the full funnel: where users drop off, what the onboarding experience should look like, and where to focus next
• Build and run a team that can move fast on experiments while also building durable shared systems
• Mentor, coach, and develop engineers on the team
• Contribute to broader engineering and EPD leadership by proactively identifying opportunities or misalignment and addressing them

What you'll bring

• 5+ years experience as a senior+ engineer, 2+ years managing and leading high performing teams
• Experience leading growth engineering, with a track record of moving activation/retention/conversion metrics
• Experience with monetization or payments infrastructure (subscriptions, billing, app store payments, pricing systems)
• Thinks deeply about product experiences and can look at a funnel and form a point of view on what to change
• High cross-functional fluency
• Comfortable pushing into ambiguity to find and drive the next big growth bets, even when the path isn't fully defined
• Hands-on and technical enough to evaluate architecture decisions, guide the team’s technical direction, and review code, build prototypes, or jump in as needed

Compensation range:

The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $250K - $325K plus benefits & equity.

Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

We're building on a full Typescript stack centered around some of the most modern and popular technologies.

• We use our own custom, open-source AI prompting framework, AIJSX . We have a lot of custom tools built in-house, but also new ones like Vercel AI SDK .

Our tiny team operates at massive scale:

Life at Gamma

• You get energy from small teams doing big things.
• You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
• You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
• You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
• You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
• You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
• You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
• You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

Who we are

Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:

We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:

• "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
• "You can have an idea and just run with it."
• "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
• "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
