Well, hello there 👋

We're Screencastify, the #1 screen recorder for Chrome. More than 12 million people use Screencastify every week (!!!) to record, edit and share all sorts of amazing videos. We like to think that we've democratized video creation by making it simpler and more affordable than ever before.

Screencastify pioneered widespread video creation when it was first launched 8 years ago. Since then, video has become an integral part of our everyday lives. Despite how much our world has changed, we’re still only at the beginning of our journey.

About the role

We built the simplest and most reliable screen recorder in the world, but that’s only the beginning. Our near future is full of ambitious new goals, features, and products that will enable us to further improve how we provide service to our users and accelerate our already fast growth.

Today, our product has been adopted by tens of thousands of schools, with limitless growth potential ahead. That's the opportunity at Screencastify — a massive market, incredibly engaged customer/fan base, and the chance to get in on the ground floor of it all.

We’re looking for our first-ever Growth Engineer to help us rapidly explore new product features that will help us reach more new and existing users. You’ll be part of a small team of curiously-minded experimenters looking to iterate, fail fast, and learn what resonates with our customers.

Why is this role special?

1. You get to have a massive impact. You’ll focus entirely on building our user growth strategy and features, but you’ll start with a solid product foundation. You’ll be able to build and propose new product features that help us acquire users, and focus on generating quality (not quantity) engagement with our free and premium education users.
2. You’ll be a founding member of a new growth team. You’ll work directly with the leadership of the company, owning critical business KPIs with a ton of autonomy in the development process.
3. You’ll be boarding a rocketship. Screencastify has experienced meteoric growth over the past two years. If done well, you’ll play a critical role in setting our sights away from the moon and towards Mars.
4. Join us at a magical time. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and support tens of millions of users, which gives us a huge green field to work with. You'll join at the perfect time to shape how we grow from here.

What you’ll do:

• Build new product features from start to finish: through conception, research, impact measurement, maintenance, and polish
• Brainstorm, define and execute product-based growth experiments
• Work closely with a small, cross-functional growth team that will operate independently as a start-up within a start-up.
• Understand our existing product landscape and how to optimize it.
• Ship new features and tweak them often to get feedback and iterate quickly.
• Collaborate with our core engineering team when scale or performance becomes a concern.

You’re perfect for this role if you:

• Have 4-6+ years building and experimenting with user interfaces that have reached a large audience, ideally while the product is experiencing rapid growth.
• Have frontend and backend development experience.
• Have worked with Angular, Node, Javascript, React, and Typescript.
• Possess an understanding of the tools that power marketing automation, experimentation, personalization, attribution, and analytics.
• Care about the business implications of anything you build. You're not just going after cool stuff — you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• Have the ability to communicate technical needs and blockers with non-technical folks.
• Are action-oriented, metrics-driven, curious, and kind.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation. We take a data-driven approach to our compensation strategy so all employees are paid competitively and equitably.
• 401k plan. We want to invest in present you and future you, which is why we offer a generous 401k match with our 401k plan.
• Minimum vacation policy. We recognize the importance of taking personal time off, and require our employees to take at least 15 vacation days per year. You’re also encouraged to take additional paid time off, as needed.
• Flexible work policy. Gone are the days of being in an office from 9-5, Monday through Friday. We recognize there are better ways to measure productivity than counting the number of hours you’re in the office and that sometimes the office isn’t the best place to be productive.
• Parental leave. Generous paid time off for parents to bond with the newest addition to their family!
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance. We cover 100% of employee medical premiums and 50% of employee dental & vision premiums. Plus, all employees receive a free One Medical membership.
• Professional development. Each department has a professional development budget and employees are encouraged to take workshops, attend webinars, join associations, and anything else that could help grow their careers. Did we also mention employees get free access to Udemy for Business?
• Divvy bike membership. If you’re in Chicago, take advantage of an annual Divvy membership -- on us.
