Change Software Forever
Most growth roles optimise a funnel someone else built. This one creates demand for a category that doesn't exist yet. AI is making engineers dramatically more productive. The problem is nobody fully trusts what AI ships.
Why this matters now
AI is rewriting how software gets built. But shipping still breaks on testing. Engineering leaders are desperate to release faster without dropping quality, and they can't get there with manual QA or brittle test automation.
Here's the bigger shift: as AI writes more of the code, the bottleneck moves from generating software to trusting it. Nobody owns that trust layer yet. Duku is building it, autonomous agents that simulate real users, catch critical failures before production, and self-heal as the product evolves.
Backed by experienced operators and investors, we're building what we believe will become a core layer of the modern software stack. We're looking for an exceptional Growth Hacker to help define the category. Not someone to run someone else's playbook. Someone to write the first one.
What You’ll Do
• Build and own growth channels from zero across outbound, content, partnerships, communities, and experiments
• Work directly with founders to design and run founder-led GTM loops
• Turn customer and market signals into repeatable growth systems
• Rapidly test hypotheses across ICP, messaging, channels, and conversion paths
• Build lightweight growth infrastructure: tooling, dashboards, feedback loops
• Identify and double down on what compounds, kill what doesn’t
• Operate inside the product engine to align growth with real user value
What We’re Looking For
• Relentless executor: you move fast, learn faster, and don’t wait for permission
• Builder mindset: you create systems, not one-off campaigns
• High ownership: growth lives and dies with you
• Strong first-principles thinking and commercial intuition
• Comfortable operating without a playbook, PMF, or safety net
• Clear communicator who can work at founder altitude
Ideal Background
We hire for mindset, not pedigree. You might have:
• Built growth at an early-stage startup or developer tool
• Run scrappy outbound or demand loops that actually converted
• Experience in growth, GTM, product, ops, or founder-adjacent roles
• Exposure to technical products or engineering audiences
• Shipped experiments in ambiguous environments
Why This Role Matters
Autonomous testing is inevitable. AI agents will replace brittle scripts and manual QA. Duku AI is building that future now.
This is an early, defining hire. You’ll shape how growth works at Duku before the rules are written. Real ownership. Real impact. Direct line to the founders.
If you want to build something category-defining instead of optimising someone else’s funnel, reach out directly.
Skills Required
- Relentless execution and ability to move quickly and learn rapidly
- Builder mindset focused on creating systems rather than one-off campaigns
- High ownership of growth outcomes
- Strong first-principles thinking and commercial intuition
- Ability to operate without a playbook, product-market fit, or safety net
- Clear communication and ability to work directly with founders
- Experience building growth at an early-stage startup or developer tool
- Experience running scrappy outbound or demand-generation loops that converted
- Experience in growth, go-to-market, product, operations, or founder-adjacent roles
- Exposure to technical products or engineering audiences
- Experience shipping experiments in ambiguous environments
What We Do
Duku AI is building autonomous testing infrastructure for the AI era. Its platform uses intelligent agents to simulate real users navigating software, identify critical failures that conventional tests miss, and help teams verify that products work before release. By automating quality assurance and adapting as products evolve, Duku aims to provide a trust layer for AI-written software and modern engineering teams.
