• Own and drive technical direction for growth features and experiments across mobile and web.

• Help scale up a world-class growth engineering practice inside Yousician.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

• 6+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 1–2 years in a tech lead role.


• A full-stack builder mindset: You’re at home in the front-end, back-end, and aren’t scared of Unity. With strong skills in at least one of the main technologies we have.


• Track record of launching A/B tests and growth features in consumer apps or platforms.


• You think in terms of experiments and outcomes, not features and outputs.


• Comfort working autonomously in fast-moving environments with lots of ownership.


• Bonus: Experience with subscriptions, onboarding, funnel analytics, or mobile growth.

Nice to Have

• Deep Unity/C# experience.


• Experience with web frameworks (React, Next.js, Node.js) and deployment pipelines.


• Worked in a startup, scale-up, or built products with strong product-market fit.


• A personal love of music or learning is a big plus.
