You will collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and data engineers to deliver features and experiments that accelerate QuillBot’s growth.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain full-stack systems that power growth initiatives such as retention campaigns, monetization flows, cross-sell features, and internationalization.
  • Build and iterate on A/B experiments and growth experiments to optimize conversion, engagement, and retention.
  • Own end-to-end delivery of projects: from requirements gathering and design, through implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, data engineers, and analysts to ensure growth initiatives are data-informed and measurable.
  • Ensure scalability, performance, and quality of systems that impact millions of users globally.
  • Contribute to engineering best practices, including code reviews, testing strategies, and automation.
  • Stay updated on modern frontend and backend technologies to continuously improve development speed, quality, and user experience.
  • Help create prototypes and proofs-of-concept for rapid iteration.

Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of professional software development experience working on scalable full-stack or frontend/backend applications.
  • Strong and hands-on experience in JavaScript/TypeScript, ReactJS, NodeJS, and related web technologies.
  • Solid understanding of API design, system architecture, and databases (SQL/NoSQL).
  • Experience building data-driven systems or integrating with analytics frameworks (e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4) to run experiments.
  • Demonstrated ability to work on features that directly drive growth metrics like retention, conversion, monetization, or internationalization.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to take ownership and deliver in ambiguous situations.
  • Excellent communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Startup mindset with high willingness to learn, adapt, and move fast.

Bonus Points

  • Experience with subscription billing systems, payment gateways, internationalization/localization frameworks, or referral/viral growth systems.

  • Competitive salary and annual bonus
  • Medical coverage
  • Life and accidental insurance
  • Vacation & leaves of absence (menstrual, flexible, special, and more!)
  • Developmental opportunities through education & developmental reimbursements & professional workshops
