Growth Engineer

Speakeasy • San Francisco, CA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Speakeasy is seeking a Growth Engineer to join their team at the intersection of engineering and marketing. This early-career role is designed for an individual who can leverage both coding and writing skills to enhance product discovery, understanding, and adoption. The Growth Engineer will collaborate closely with the engineering team to grasp product intricacies and translate that knowledge into content creation, experimental growth strategies, launch asset development, and expanding the company's reach among developers and technical leaders. This is not a traditional marketing role; it requires an engineering mindset with a desire to significantly influence product outreach. The ideal candidate possesses a strong bias for action, learns from failures, and demonstrates continuous improvement. They will be given significant ownership from the outset, thriving in an environment where ideas can be rapidly implemented and tested. This position is particularly suited for recent Computer Science graduates or early-career engineers interested in the business aspects of software, seeking a career path that blends technical expertise with creative and strategic responsibilities.

Requirements

• A CS degree or equivalent engineering background — you can read and write code, follow architecture discussions, and go deep on technical concepts
• Fluency with coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and a habit of using them to move faster
• Strong writing skills — technical writing, engineering blog posts, documentation, or anything that shows you can make complex ideas clear
• Genuine interest in developer tools, APIs, or AI products. You follow the space and have opinions about it
• Comfort working autonomously in a fast-moving environment with broad scope and no playbook
• A bias toward action. You'd rather ship something imperfect and learn than wait for the perfect plan
• Genuine curiosity and a hunger to learn fast. You're comfortable not knowing things as long as you're figuring them out
• Low ego, high output. You're happy to do whatever it takes to move the needle

Nice To Haves

• Prior internship or work experience in engineering, growth, or developer relations
• Experience with design tools (Figma) and basic video/motion work
• Background contributing to technical open-source projects or developer communities
• Any prior exposure to marketing, growth experiments, or analytics

Responsibilities

• Technical content creation: blog posts, deep-dives, code examples, launch announcements, and documentation-style explainers
• Growth experiments: building and testing ideas for how we acquire, activate, and retain developers
• Social media and community presence for product launches and ongoing developer storytelling
• Launch assets end-to-end: from announcement blog to website updates to sales collateral
• Sales and customer-facing enablement: decks, battlecards, demo scripts, and competitive positioning
• Close collaboration with engineering to understand the product deeply and surface what matters to a technical audience
• Customer and prospect research to sharpen positioning and identify messages that resonate with technical leaders

Benefits

• Salary Range ~$160K - $190K
• Generous equity
• 100% employer-covered medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan
• Unlimited PTO
• Lunch provided in office from some of the best restaurants in San Francisco!
• Annual off-sites with the entire team (previous locations: 2024 - Lisbon, 2025 - Mexico City, 2026 - Madrid!)
• Work with a fun, collaborative, ambitious team
