Senior Software Engineer II - Product Growth

Role Description

Kit recently formed a dedicated Product Growth team, and we need a Senior Software Engineer II to build the in-product experiences that connect creator needs to realized value, increasing the number of creators who succeed through the product while driving Kit's growth. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer II to own the technical execution of high-leverage improvements across the full funnel: acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization.

This is a full-time IC role best suited for someone who loves being close to the business, cares about measuring and iterating on what they ship, and combines technical knowledge with leadership and extreme ownership. This is a newly formed team that’s still taking shape, so there isn’t a fully built-out structure yet. You’ll have a high degree of autonomy, with the opportunity to step in, identify what needs to be done, and drive work forward.

Your support system

You'll report to Megan Mullin , and collaborate closely with:

• Two engineers
• Our Senior Product Manager
• Product designers on different squads
• A data analyst on the growth team

You'll also work cross-functionally with engineers across Kit's product squads, tapping into shared infrastructure, coordinating on funnel-adjacent work, and contributing back to the broader engineering community. This is a newly formed team, so you'll have real influence over how it takes shape.

What you'll do

• First Week:
  • Get oriented in our onboarding curriculum in Notion and get access to key tools — Linear, Figma, Slack, Looker, Omni and our experimentation infrastructure.
  • Start meeting your teammates and cross-functional partners through GTKYs.
  • Get a feel for our codebase, our current funnel metrics, and where the biggest opportunities live.
• First Month:
  • Dig into the data and current growth opportunities.
  • Understand where creators are dropping off and why, and have a clear point of view on what's driving disengagement and where the highest-leverage retention opportunities are.
  • Start contributing to active experiments or funnel improvements while you build context.
  • Ship your first changes, to get a real feel for how we move and contribute to our growth strategy.
  • Get familiar with our billing domain — a large, legacy codebase that the growth team now owns.
• First Six Months:
  • Own the end-to-end execution of multiple growth initiatives across the funnel.
  • Identify the highest-leverage bets, scope them with the team, build them, measure the outcome, and share what you learned.
  • Ship experiments and own complex projects that moved meaningful metrics.
• First Year:
  • Establish the technical patterns and measurement practices the growth team relies on.
  • Become a leader on the Growth squad and a strong, trusted partner to Product.
  • Coach others toward more analytical, outcome-driven ways of working.
