Senior Growth Engineer

Kajabi is hiring Senior Growth Engineers with Ruby on Rails and React expertise and experience with AI tooling to experiment, iterate, and drive measurable impact across our Hero journey—from signup to activation to retention. You’ll be part of our Growth Team: a fast-moving, data-informed group focused on solving high-leverage problems across the full funnel.

We’re looking for full-stack engineers who love building features that directly influence a creator’s decision to choose Kajabi for their business or their ability to make money on our platform. The right candidate will move with urgency and focus, obsess over product metrics, and be comfortable running frequent A/B tests to move key business outcomes. If youre excited to write production-ready code one day (and sometimes IN one day) and analyze experiment results the next, this role is for you.

The Impact you will make

  • Build and iterate on new and existing features that influence a creator’s decision to join and help them make money from Day 1. This includes leveraging AI to create more personalized and effective user experiences, such as enhanced recommendations or intelligent content generation features.
  • Launch experiments at a high velocity with a sharp eye toward quality and business impact.
  • Add instrumentation, build dashboards, and collaborate with product analytics to measure what matters.
  • Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to identify and prioritize opportunities using data, customer research, and your own insights. This includes exploring opportunities where AI can analyze user input and data to make stronger recommendations, increasing user success on the platform.
  • Architect clean, maintainable code across our Rails and React stack, while optimizing for rapid iteration and experimentation.
  • Collaborate on growth-specific tooling, infrastructure, and workflows to increase team velocity.
  • Connect users to Kajabi’s core value by optimizing flows across the product experience.
  • Follow through on experiments and features—analyze results, learn, and act on them.
  • Scope, own, and execute projects ranging from tactical funnel improvements to bold product bets.

Attributes for Success

  • You’re product- and growth-minded—constantly thinking about the “why” behind every interaction and eager to improve it.
  • You disagree and commit to move forward, execute, and get results, recognizing that data holds power over anecdotal opinions
  • You have a proven track record of shipping impactful experiments and features that directly influenced user behavior and business metrics.
  • You understand A/B testing best practices and are comfortable evaluating experiment design and results.
  • You think in loops: ship → learn → iterate → scale.
  • You take a pragmatic approach to engineering—balancing speed and quality to deliver impact without compromising maintainability.
  • You use automation and AI-assisted tools to increase delivery speed while preserving quality and maintainability.
  • You are confident working across the stack—especially with React, JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, and Postgres—and are comfortable diving into both backend and frontend code.
  • You thrive in collaborative environments, partnering with product managers, analysts, and designers to solve complex growth challenges. We’re not a delivery team, we’re a growth team all aligned on the same mission and expect everyone to be an owner. 
  • You are comfortable querying data (SQL, dashboards, analytics tools) and advocating for better instrumentation where needed.
  • You demonstrate resilience and curiosity: most experiments fail, but you find the insights and keep pushing forward.
  • You communicate clearly and thoughtfully, whether you’re articulating tradeoffs or mentoring teammates
  • You design production-aware features and experiments, ensuring safe database rollouts and minimal impact on a high-traffic Postgres system.
  • You provide technical leadership, feedback, and mentorship to mid-level and junior developers, helping the whole team raise their bar.”

Write clean, simple, well-tested code that is easy to understand and maintain. Review code written by other developers both in and outside of your team. Provide technical leadership, feedback and mentorship to mid-level and junior developers.

Bonus if you have...

  • Experience with experimentation platforms or building internal A/B testing infrastructure.
  • Exposure to bottoms-up SaaS models or virality-driven products.
  • Familiarity with product analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude, Looker, Hex, Rudderstack).
  • Operational experience deploying on cloud based infrastructure and monitoring via Datadog.
  • Experience mentoring engineers or leading growth engineering initiatives.
  • Experience integrating or working with AI/ML models for feature enhancement or internal tooling.
