In addition to actively driving these efforts, you work together with your team sharing growth-related knowledge, tooling, and best practices across the team.

Ensuring a delightful experience is key to both acquiring and retaining customers and here you are expected to play a key role in both defining and executing growth related experiments and initiatives in a cross functional setting.

• The team owns critical services of our podcast ad buying platform that requires 24-hour support, for which you will be expected to partake in the on-call rotation.

Who you are

• You have experience working with user acquisition and retention.

• You have deep knowledge of designing & working with experiments, designing metrics and using data to verify or reject hypotheses and the technical tooling to aid this workflow.

• You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a strong curiosity for uncovering opportunities to enhance the customer experience. You proactively explore new possibilities, take initiative to bring ideas to life through engineering, and inspire your team to join you on these journeys of discovery and improvement

• You are interested in learning or have experience with Node.JS, JavaScript and TypeScript.

• You have a pragmatic mindset and can make trade-offs on what to optimise for and when to ship.

• How? Most of our teams operate in a hybrid fashion with some members co-located in offices and some working remotely. With a remote-first way of working we want you to feel productive regardless of work location!

• Where? For this role, we’re hiring within Sweden or within the UK.

• When? We want to avoid teams distributed over timezones, so this team will operate within the CET zone for collaboration. This setup allows us for more flexibility and work-life balance.
