Growth Engineer

We're creating a new AI operating system that has the potential to change the way companies operate. Our mission at Dust is to transform how work gets done by letting any team and employee shape the exact agents they need to accelerate their work.

With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We already are a core part of their jobs.

We're at an exciting stage of our journey and growing fast. We're serving great customers like Cursor, Clay, Whatnot, and Persona, and aim to 5x our growth by the end of 2026.

Dust is a Sequoia-backed company with an experienced and determined team of optimists (coming from companies like Stripe and OpenAI) that likes to focus on users, getting great things done by shipping fast, and doesn’t take itself too seriously while doing so.

We're looking for a Growth Engineer who writes code that moves revenue. You'll sit at the intersection of engineering and go-to-market, owning the technical systems that power how Dust acquires, activates, and converts users. Think: shipping directly on dust.tt, building our analytics and tracking infrastructure from the ground up, and creating high-leverage internal apps that make our GTM team wildly more effective.

You'll work alongside Growth Marketers and GTM Engineers, translating ambitious growth ideas into production systems, fast. And you'll do all of it supercharged by AI, using Dust and Claude Code every single day.

Website & Growth Funnel

• Ship directly on dust.tt: landing pages, conversion flows, forms, and experiments, with the velocity of a founder, not the process of a platform team.

• Implement and own end-to-end tracking across our growth funnel (ads attribution, UTM params, gclid, cookie/browser tracking, HubSpot integration).

• Design and run rapid experiments (A/B tests, new pages, new CTAs) and double down on what the data says works.

Internal Apps & GTM Tooling

• Build high-leverage internal applications for Sales, Growth, and Marketing: signal-based notification systems, control towers, quote-to-cash automation between HubSpot and Stripe, outbound tooling.

• Create production-grade tools that our GTM team actually relies on daily, going far beyond prototypes, with real security, reliability, and autonomy.

• Leverage Dust's own platform to build AI-powered agents and workflows that give our go-to-market team an unfair advantage.

Data & Analytics Infrastructure

• Own our marketing and growth data stack: instrument events, build dashboards, and ensure data is clean, reliable, and actionable across PostHog, Snowflake, and Metabase.

• Partner with Growth Marketers to define metrics, track performance, and generate insights that drive campaign and funnel decisions.

• Build and maintain integrations across our GTM stack (CRM, CDP, ad platforms, enrichment tools).

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Serve as the technical backbone of the growth team: translate vague marketing requests into scoped technical specs and ship them autonomously.

• Work closely with GTM Engineers on data architecture and with Growth Marketers on acquisition strategy.

• Maintain a dotted line to Product Engineering to ensure code quality, security best practices, and architectural coherence.

• Software engineer first. Strong engineering fundamentals, ideally full-stack (TypeScript/React + backend). You write clean, production-grade code.

• AI-pilled. You're a power user of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent). You don't just use AI, you build with it and think about how it changes what's possible. This is a hard requirement.

• Growth mindset, literally. Genuine interest in growth, marketing funnels, and user acquisition. You care about conversion rates as much as code quality.

• Hands-on with analytics and tracking. Experience with tools like PostHog, GA4, Segment, Mixpanel, or similar. You've instrumented events, debugged attribution, or built dashboards before.

• Autonomous and fast. You thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. You don't wait for a spec; you write the spec and ship the solution.

• 1-4 years of professional software engineering experience. Prior growth engineering, marketing technology, or internal tools experience is a plus.

Ideal, but not required:

• Background in SEO infrastructure, programmatic content, or developer marketing

• Familiarity with Stripe integrations, billing systems, or commerce flows

• Prior work at a high-growth startup (especially AI-native or developer tools)

We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris and San Francisco, because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together.

We're not building yet another enterprise SaaS tool. We’re creating an AI OS that will fundamentally change how companies operate. We believe existing AI models are powerful enough to have a tremendous impact on the world (and will keep getting better). The key is building the infrastructure so they have the right context, and building the best interfaces for humans to interact with them.

We have the unique opportunity to explore and shape the way humans interact with machines while building a product we use ourselves every day.

If you're excited about crafting products that reinvent B2B software and want to join a team that combines the best of startup culture with the backing of top-tier investors, we'd love to talk.

👋 Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
