Ask HN: What is it like working for "growth"?

2 pointsby scstepsover 1 year ago
Oftentimes when I see a software engineer job listing for a SaaS, there’s always a “software engineer (growth)”. What is that like?<p>I think marketing metrics and using engineering to grow in general is super cool. If you work in this space do you get to learn a lot about digital marketing?

It depends on how much attention you pay to why you’re doing what you’re doing and who is running the growth team.<p>Best case you’re working with someone who is multi-disciplinary and brings the team along in decision making<p>Worst case you’re working with a shill who just wants you to churn out features and AB tests with no real strategy other than number go up
