Growth / PLG Engineer
Remote - anywhereFull-timeGrowthAbout the role
Noded delivers first value in a coffee break: connect a tool, and your accounts start telling their own story. Your job is to make sure everyone who signs up actually gets to that moment - and keeps coming back. You'll own the self-serve journey end to end: signup, onboarding, first connected tool, first "whoa," and the habits that follow. You'll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market, and you'll ship real product every week.
This is an engineering role with a growth brain - you build the experiments yourself, instrument them properly, and let the data argue for you.
What you'll do
- Own the self-serve funnel from landing page to activated team: signup, connection flows, onboarding, and the first week of a user's life.
- Instrument everything. Build the event tracking and analytics that show exactly where users sail through and where they stall.
- Design and ship experiments: onboarding variants, empty states that teach, well-timed nudges, lifecycle email - measured properly, shipped fast, killed without sentiment when they don't work.
- Build in-product moments with taste - the kind that make someone feel smart, not the tooltip confetti that makes them close the tab.
- Partner with the founders on pricing and packaging experiments across our self-serve and sales-assisted tiers.
- Close the loop weekly: what moved activation, what didn't, and what we're trying next.
What you'll bring
- An engineer's toolkit: you're full-stack enough to ship an experiment end to end - UI, backend, tracking - without waiting on anyone.
- Product sense and user empathy. You watch session replays for fun and talk to users without being asked.
- Experimentation rigor: funnels, cohorts, retention curves - and the honesty to admit when the sample size says "nothing."
- Experience with a product-led motion at a SaaS company, or clear evidence you've studied the best ones closely.
- A strong bias to shipping. Perfect is a v3 problem.
Bonus points
- You've done growth engineering at a PLG company - think Slack, Notion, Airtable, or the next one.
- You've built lifecycle/email tooling or worked with product analytics stacks in anger.
- You have opinions about our signup flow already. (Try it - it's free.)
