About the role
shapes.inc is the multiplayer assistant — 440K people bring AI into their group chats every month, and our audience has grown more than 6× this year across iOS, Android, and web.
Growth Engineers at shapes.inc own how the world meets shapes.inc — and why people stay. That’s acquisition, onboarding, activation, referrals, lifecycle, and retention. We’re a small team, so each person moves real numbers.
What you’ll do
- Grow shapes.inc to its next millions of users across iOS, Android, and web
- Run growth experiments end to end — idea, ship, measure — across onboarding, activation, referrals, and lifecycle
- Dig into the user journey to find the drop-offs and the aha moments that drive activation and retention
- Build new surfaces that make the first week on shapes.inc better
- Build the growth infrastructure underneath — attribution, event tracking, experimentation, internal dashboards
- Use LLMs wherever they move the number — personalized onboarding, generated landing pages, lifecycle copy, creative for paid channels
- Move fast from idea to live test, across the stack
What you need
- 3+ years shipping real consumer software
- Data-driven and scrappy — you care about results and think in hypotheses
- A curious generalist who wires together systems, data, and product intuition to move numbers
- Comfortable across the stack
- Thrive in ambiguity — minimal process, high ownership, fast iteration
- Focused on impact, not output
- Ready to roll up your sleeves and learn
- Low ego
- You can write SQL yourself and dig into metrics
Nice to have
- Startup experience as a technical co-founder, early engineer, or growth engineer
- Have shipped a consumer app to the App Store or Play Store on your own
- Experience with mobile growth tooling — AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, App Store / Play Store listings and experiments
- Experience with product analytics and experimentation — PostHog, Amplitude, Mixpanel, Statsig
- Experience applying AI / LLMs to production use cases — personalization, content generation, creative production
- Strong perspective on performance marketing fundamentals — CAC, ROAS, payback, LTV:CAC
