Gamma • San Francisco, CA

2d • $230,000 - $310,000 • Onsite

About The Position

You'll own end-to-end growth strategy and execution as we scale Gamma to hundreds of millions of users. This means driving key business metrics like sign-ups, activation rates, conversion, retention, and revenue while designing the infrastructure that enables rapid experimentation at scale. You'll architect complex monetization features including multi-tier pricing, usage-based billing, payment flows, and subscription management while partnering with leadership to shape company-wide growth strategy. As a Staff Engineer on the Growth team, you'll balance hands-on engineering with technical leadership. You'll mentor engineers on growth best practices and experimentation rigor, make critical technical decisions about when to experiment vs commit, and identify high-leverage opportunities hiding in data. You'll bring both statistical rigor and strong judgment, knowing when metrics lie, when to trust intuition, and when to dig deeper. Our team has a strong in-office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

• Experience with payment systems, billing logic, and fraud prevention at scale
