The Opportunity As Technical Lead on the Growth team, you'll shape how new users discover, adopt and pay for Method. You'll own the technical direction behind onboarding, trial engagement and conversion, scoping projects, designing solutions and leading them from idea to production. Your success will show up in outcomes like activation and trial-to-paid conversion. You'll also set the bar for how the team builds with AI.

DATA AND MEASUREMENT - Design and build client libraries and frameworks to log events and track user behavior accurately. - Build data pipelines that monitor key product metrics and measure the impact of experiments. - Integrate the parts of our experimentation infrastructure to enable measurement and personalization of user experiences. - Work across teams to gather requirements and design shared datasets. LEAD - Scope, design and oversee technical projects from start to finish. - Lead and mentor a team of thoughtful, fast-moving engineers through rigorous design and code reviews. - Set standards for developer workflows, including how the team uses AI coding tools effectively and safely: when to lean on them, how to review AI-generated code and how to keep quality high while moving faster. - Make sound build vs. buy decisions, including third-party and AI-powered tools. - Help hire and grow the team. Our stack: C#, .NET, SQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, React and AWS (including SQS).
