Senior Software Engineer, Growth

Foxglove • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Growth Engineer to join Foxglove and embed directly with our Growth team. In this role, you’ll own critical parts of the customer journey — from acquisition and onboarding to activation, monetization, and expansion — by building, iterating, and experimenting directly in the product.
This is not a “growth hacks” role. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, product, data, and design to identify leverage points, run experiments, and ship durable improvements that meaningfully impact user outcomes and revenue. You’ll balance speed with quality and short-term wins with long-term maintainability.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys ambiguity, cares deeply about product craft, and is energized by using data and experimentation to drive measurable results — without compromising trust, performance, or user experience.

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with exposure to growth, product, or customer-facing work
• Strong product instincts and the ability to reason about user behavior, funnels, and trade-offs
• Experience building, shipping, and iterating on experiments in production systems
• Comfort working across the stack (frontend-heavy, backend-heavy, or truly full-stack are all fine)
• Ability to define success metrics, interpret results, and adjust direction based on data
• Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating cross-functionally
• Proven ability to thrive in fast-moving environments and take ownership from idea to impact
• High standards for code quality, performance, and maintainability

Nice To Haves

• Experience working on developer tools, technical products, or complex B2B platforms
• Familiarity with analytics, experimentation platforms, or event-based data pipelines
• Experience improving onboarding or monetization flows in self-serve or PLG products
• Prior work in robotics, autonomy, or highly technical domains

Responsibilities

• Own growth engineering efforts across key funnels, including onboarding, activation, upgrades, and expansion
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and Marketing to define growth strategy, hypotheses, and success metrics
• Design, build, and iterate on experiments (A/B tests, feature flags, instrumentation) across the product
• Translate qualitative and quantitative insights into pragmatic technical solutions and experiments
• Improve time-to-value for new users, especially for highly technical, developer-focused audiences
• Build and maintain growth infrastructure (experimentation frameworks, analytics hooks, feature gating)
• Balance rapid iteration with scalable, maintainable, production-quality code
• Debug funnel drop-offs and performance issues using data, logs, and user feedback
• Share learnings from experiments to inform product direction and improve team decision-making
• Advocate for engineering best practices, performance, accessibility, and reliability in growth surfaces

Benefits

• Impact: Own growth at a fast-growing, high-leverage moment for the company.
• Mission: Accelerate the development of the next generation of robotics and embodied AI.
• Team: Work with world-class engineers, designers, and researchers passionate about open-source and developer tools.
• Ownership: Drive initiatives end-to-end, with high autonomy and visibility.
