Our work is highly cross-functional, partnering with Product, Data Science, Design, FinEng, Finance, Legal, Support, and Marketing to improve free-to-paid conversion, renewal, customer lifetime value, and revenue while keeping the experience trustworthy, scalable, and low-friction.

- Improve key subscription metrics including conversion, renewal, churn, ARPU, and lifetime value.

- Build reliable customer-facing Premium experiences for purchase, plan management, renewal, downgrade, cancellation, and access-related states at scale.

- Partner closely with FinEng and other platform teams to evolve the billing, payments, and entitlement capabilities that power Premium experiences.

- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Finance, Legal, Support, and Marketing on monetization strategy and execution.

You Might Thrive in This Role If You:

- Have 5+ years of engineering management experience,

- Have strong technical expertise in backend, frontend, or full-stack development, with experience building growth-oriented features.

- Have a track record of improving conversion, retention, or monetization through experimentation and data-driven product engineering.

- Are experienced with subscription products, plan merchandising, paywalls, checkout, plan lifecycle experiences, and retention.

- Are comfortable working with A/B testing, funnel analysis, user segmentation, and personalization techniques.
