About the job

The Mission

Descript is transforming the landscape of content creation by integrating traditional editing practices with cutting-edge AI technologies. Our goal is to streamline every stage of the creation process—from recording and transcribing to editing and sharing—making it faster and easier than ever to produce high-quality content.

About the Team:

Our Growth Engineering team is in its second year, and we are focused on developing both a repeatable sales model and a self-service approach simultaneously. We are seeking two exceptional engineers, at the senior to staff level, who possess the insight to identify strategic opportunities, the agility to test them, and the expertise to scale successful initiatives. Join us to unlock significant growth potential!

What You'll Work On

At Descript, our growth efforts encompass the entire user journey—from the moment a user signs up to when they become an indispensable part of our community. This role goes beyond minor adjustments; it’s about crafting systems that fundamentally transform our growth trajectory.

Build the Systems that Enable Growth

  • Design and maintain the experimentation playbook, establishing frameworks, tools, and best practices to facilitate efficient testing across the team.
  • Architect personalized user journey systems that tailor the product experience based on individual user profiles and goals.
  • Create data pipelines and instrumentation that provide real-time insights into performance metrics.

Run Impactful Experiments

  • Oversee A/B testing from start to finish: formulate hypotheses, instrument features, deploy them, analyze outcomes, and iterate.
  • Manage activation and onboarding processes to ensure new users quickly realize the value of our platform and continue to engage.
  • Foster a metrics-driven culture by collaborating with Data and Product teams to define optimization goals and build towards them.

Shape the Product Beyond Just Code

  • Develop full-stack solutions that encompass both frontend (dynamic React UI) and backend (APIs) components.
  • Collaborate with Product and Design teams to clarify what we are building, not just how we build it.
  • Use a systems-thinking approach to enhance team processes; your insights will be highly valued.

About Descript
