About The Position

Skylight is a technology startup based out of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Our mission is to connect loved ones by creating the world’s simplest products and services that improve family life. We make consumer products, like Skylight Frame and Skylight Calendar, that are loved by millions of people across the globe. Our founders are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs, who have scaled this business to $180M+ in annual revenue while being completely bootstrapped and profitable. We think often about the thousands of smiles we are able to put on our customers’ faces each day, and it fills our hearts with purpose. That’s why we have been working hard to expand our team and invent, so that we can continue to bring the magic of Skylight to millions of loved ones throughout the world.This is the perfect role for you if you’d be proud to be the most business-oriented Engineering leader at the company, operating at the oft-overlooked intersection of Marketing and Engineering. Here’s what that means: You’d own complex payment infrastructure, supporting multiple payment gateways and hundreds of thousands of paying subscribers. We’re bootstrapped and profitable, and our subscription software is what allows us to continue to invest in innovation, brand-building, and the team. So you would be the “Single Head to Crown” on the revenue stream that powers this company (no pressure!). You’d also define the future shape of our business by running rigorous AB tests of our pricing, packaging and merchandising, across our mobile app, our device, and our e-comm site. The most business-inflecting decisions we’ve made were dreamed up and AB-tested on our marketing site first, and you would oversee the infrastructure and implementation of all that experimentation. This is a Management position.
