Plaud Head of Growth Engineering at Plaud to build and lead the growth engineering team focused on onboarding, experimentation, and funnel optimization across multiple platforms. Responsible for hiring, running experiments, and improving user activation and conversion.

Responsibilities

Build Plaud's Growth engineering team from scratch, and define its strategy for onboarding, experimentation and funnel optimization across every surface users touch: the device, mobile, web and desktop.
Hire, lead and grow the team (full-stack, mobile and data-minded engineers), and stay hands-on in the code when it helps.
Own the end-user onboarding experience, from device setup and signup through first run and activation, so new users get value in their first session.
Build and run a high-tempo experiment program on our experimentation platform, with sound statistics, clear readouts and shared learnings.
Find and fix the biggest drop-offs in the user funnel, and turn what works into reusable patterns other product teams can adopt.
Partner with the Data team on funnel instrumentation and experiment data the whole company can trust.
Work closely with the product, pricing and app framework teams so that experiments ship safely behind feature flags on every surface.
Report on activation, conversion through the funnel and experiment velocity, plus the guardrail metrics that must not get worse.
Skills, qualifications and experience we look for
10+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years leading growth engineering at a product-led consumer or prosumer company.
Proven track record shipping onboarding and activation improvements that moved measurable metrics.
Deep experimentation expertise: test design, statistical power, guardrail metrics, and knowing when not to run a test.
