The team
Our Product Development team consists of around 50 very talented, motivated and humble product managers, engineers, designers and music experts. We strongly believe in product-led growth where the product itself is the primary driver of customer acquisition, conversion and expansion. To support that journey we are now strengthening our Growth Engineering team.
Growth Engineering is focused on online customer activation and conversion. Today’s customers want to try before they buy a service, so the team constantly optimises our acquisition funnel to make it compelling and simple to start a trial. During the trial, the team focuses on giving new customers a great experience where they quickly find value in our service. Growth Engineering collaborates frequently with many other teams such as Analytics, Product Experience and Business Systems. Together with our Analytics team, we use Mixpanel for event tracking to help us understand our users’behaviour. On a daily basis, you will conduct A/B tests, acting and reacting to data-driven initiatives.
You will be coming in contact with a variety of programming languages and platforms, but since this is a front-end oriented role, FE-based technologies should be your main strength. As you will work closely with our users, UX and/or UI experience is something that we expect and also highly appreciate.
Our front-end is written in JavaScript (ES6) and built around React and Redux. We are currently transitioning to GraphQL as the query language to obtain and modify data. React Native is used as a front-end in the iOS and Android apps, which makes it possible for front-end developers in Product Experience and Growth Engineering to implement new features and improvements.
