CircleCI is looking for an engineer who cares deeply about users and their experiences with our product and is excited about running experiments with their team. As a senior member of our Activation team, you will work closely with product, design, and your engineering teammates to build, test, experiment, analyze, and rapidly iterate on the features that have the most impact on the experiences of CircleCI’s users. 

About the Team

The Activation team is at the forefront of growth engineering for CircleCI. Our team’s mission is to focus on making project activation as simple as possible and aiding organizations to success. We hypothesize, build, analyze, and iterate on how people access our product, their onboarding experience, and their first four weeks with us. We’re a unique team in that we have the opportunity to work throughout the entire CircleCI web application - across marketing sites, new user activation and onboarding, and through to our core CI/CD workflows - to help empower our users to deliver better software, faster.

What you’ll do: 

• Hypothesize, plan, architect, implement, analyze, A/B test, and rapidly iterate on features and experiments that will get more users interested in our product
• Work closely with product and design to brainstorm effective ways to engage with CircleCI’s users.
• Help implement the platform and processes for all future growth engineering efforts at CircleCI
• Collaborate with, lead, and mentor your engineering teammates through planning, pairing, testing, and delivery of the features you build.
• As part of this role, you’ll participate in our team’s on-call support rotation. 

What we're looking for:

We’re looking for someone who enjoys collaboration, is curious and interested in learning, brings strong communication and teamwork skills, and helps others grow by sharing their expertise and encouraging best practices. If this sounds like you, here’s the additional experience we’re looking for:

• Experience writing, deploying, and operating high quality, well-tested, observable front-end code with some experience across the entire technology stack
• Demonstrable experience building applications and services - primarily those with user interfaces - using well-accepted design patterns to allow for iterative, autonomous development and future scaling. 
• The ability to articulate opinions about user interface and user experience design and an understanding of how your work impacts our users. 
• Experience in the day-to-day practices of continuous delivery and agile development. 
• You have 3+ years of professional experience building and debugging web applications in production environments. 
• Front-end development experience with some back-end development experience. 
• You write code that’s easily readable, testable, and maintainable, with an eye towards building in observability from the start.

Bonus Points!

• You bring a growth engineering mindset: You’re excited about hypothesizing, running experiments, and analysing data to evaluate success. You’re interested in getting invested in your approach to your work (growth engineering) over getting deeply into a specific domain. Prior growth engineering experience is not required. 
• You work transparently and collaboratively within a distributed team.
• You’re excited about ensuring that all of our systems--software and human--scale smoothly.
• You value making decisions based on data and are open to being wrong and having your mind changed.
