About the role

This is a senior individual contributor role for someone with a strong, data-informed track record of growing both the user base and revenue from web.
You'll sit within the Frontend chapter and work day-to-day out of the Growth & Monetization pod, partnering closely with Revenue Growth, Marketing, the Sponsorships team, and Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) function.
Our web stack is Next.js and React in TypeScript, deployed via Flightcontrol.

Responsibilities

Own the technical strategy for Ground News' web, with a direct mandate to grow the user base and subscription revenue from web.
Build and ship high-quality Next.js / React / TypeScript experiences across our marketing site, landing pages, paywall, and conversion surfaces.
Partner with the CRO, Growth, Marketing, and Sponsorships functions to translate hypotheses into experiments, making those partners self-sufficient so they can change landing pages, modals, and copy without engineering in the loop.
Own and evolve the marketing-tech stack: today our landing pages run on Unbounce, with a likely future migration to Framer, alongside A/B testing and experimentation platforms and analytics / CDP tooling: you'll lead that evolution and design the guardrails that keep it safe and performant.
Manage safe rollouts on Flightcontrol: feature flagging, monitoring conversion and stability, and mitigating risk on revenue-critical surfaces.
Maintain instrumentation of the funnel end to end so the team can trust its analytics and make decisions from data.
Deep expertise building production web applications in Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
🚀 Mission-driven team: Join a group of smart, dedicated people who are building meaningful products with real-world impact.
