Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack, Revenue Growth

Paperless Post is looking for a full-stack software engineer to help build product experiences that directly impact how we grow revenue. Our product has served more than 220 million hosts and guests and sees over 5 million unique visitors per month. You’ll work across our stack which includes Typescript, React, Next.js and GraphQL on the frontend, with services written mostly in Golang with sprinkles of Ruby running on top of PostgreSQL and MongoDB. We run on AWS with Kubernetes, Helm, and Terraform, and deploy with CircleCI and ArgoCD.

The Paperless Post Engineering team, a highly collaborative group of developers and technologists, is charged with building and refining a consumer-facing product that millions of people interact with each month. Our individual feature teams each focus on a unique piece of the user experience and are made up of engineers, product managers, quality assurers, and product designers. We prioritize creativity and continuing education, and our ongoing commitment to quality code shows in our pragmatic but brave approach to technology.

The Revenue Growth team owns how Paperless Post monetizes, everything from pay-as-you-go to our subscription business. We run experiments constantly throughout the full funnel, test and refine pricing models, and build systems to support payments and retention. We are a collaborative group of engineers, product managers, designers, and analysts who share a passion for data-driven decision making and measurable impact.

• Lead the design and implementation of features and systems that directly drive monetization
• Partner with product and design to define and run experiments, then help translate results into roadmap decisions
• Be hands-on across the full stack building features for our users and improving the scalability, reliability, and observability of pricing and other systems under the Revenue Growth team's ownership areas
• Mentor engineers and set strong technical and testing standards
• Ship A/B tests and be invested in the outcomes to improve conversion and retention through understanding user behavior
• Influence and align on architecture and guide technical decisions across teams.

• Empathy for the people who worked on the code base before you
• A passion for solving problems and building features for our users
• 7+ years of experience as a full-stack engineer in an established codebase
• A growth hacking mentality with curiosity to experiment, measure, and iterate quickly
• Expertise in Typescript & React and proficiency in GraphQL
• Expertise in Golang and proficiency in a dynamically typed language
• Deep understanding of relational databases like Postgres
• A track record of building resilient, observable, and well-tested distributed systems at scale
• Ability to influence architecture and guide technical decisions across teams
• Proficiency with AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot in your workflow
• Bonus points for experience with A/B testing, pricing and subscriptions, or payments

Company-wide, we enjoy an amazing ecosystem of an even gender split and a balance of engineers and designers. Because Paperless Post isn't supported by ad revenue, we can focus our efforts on creating and improving on the ideal version of our platform, product, content, and partnerships for our users. 

We are proud that Paperless Post has helped over 220 million people globally connect in the real world since our inception. Paperless Post exists to help all people celebrate all the moments that matter to them. We believe that having a team reflective of the diverse world around us empowers us to create a product that serves everyone. Women, people of color, trans/genderqueer individuals, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are especially encouraged to apply.
