StaffSoftwareEngineer,Growth

## In this role, you can expect to Serve as the technical lead of the cross-functional product trio, owning technical strategy and driving feasibility assessments alongside PM and Design. Set the architectural direction for how PlayOn runs subscription growth experiments across NFHS Network, GoFan, and MaxPreps. Design, implement, and measure rapid experiments, iterating based on data to optimize conversion, retention, and engagement. Build internal tooling and experiment scaffolding that compounds the pod’s velocity over time. Leverage AI coding tools and agent-assisted workflows to accelerate experiment delivery and raise the quality bar for the pod. Identify and drive resolution of cross-team technical dependencies when growth work requires coordination beyond the pod. Mentor engineers on the pod through code and design reviews that move knowledge, not just catch bugs. ## To thrive in this role, you have 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including time at staff level or equivalent, with deep focus on consumer subscription growth. A track record of technical leadership beyond the team — you’ve shaped how engineering organizations approach growth, experimentation, or subscription infrastructure. Direct connection to revenue impact — you’ve moved conversion, ARPU, retention, or LTV at scale and can speak in detail about what worked and what didn’t. Full-stack engineering ability across TypeScript/JavaScript with a frontend framework (Vue.js, React, or similar) and Node.js, with comfort in Ruby on Rails for our subscription stack. Hands-on experience with the systems that power subscription growth: Stripe or equivalent; Segment, Amplitude, or similar; LaunchDarkly, Statsig, or equivalent. Architectural judgment — you’ve made platform-level decisions about experimentation infrastructure or subscription surfaces and lived with the consequences long enough to learn from them. Data literacy — you can write SQL, use product analytics tools, and eva
