Growth Engineer

Unlayer builds embeddable drag-and-drop builders that power content creation for millions of users across thousands of SaaS applications. Our platform enables companies to add rich email, landing page, document, and creative editors directly into their products — without building from scratch.We're a technical, product-driven team that values velocity, code quality, and developer autonomy.The ChallengeWe're scaling rapidly. Our Builder and Platform teams need strong engineering to:Ship faster: Move from weeks to days through better architecture and toolingExpand capabilities: Build new builder types, export formats, and integrations that unlock new customer segmentsImprove reliability: Strengthen testing, monitoring, and deployment pipelines for enterprise customersEmpower partners: Reduce integration time from days to hours through better APIs, SDKs, and documentationThis role directly increases our output by strengthening cross-team delivery, unblocking complex features, and raising engineering standards.What You'll DoOwn End-to-End FeaturesShip complete features from React/TypeScript frontends to Node.js/Fastify backends — from design discussions to production monitoringBuild complex multi-step workflows: AI content generation, advanced export pipelines, custom tool buildersReduce partner integration time through improved embed SDKs, API ergonomics, and developer documentationStrengthen Platform & ToolingOptimize our monorepo: improve build times, streamline CI/CD, reduce deployment frictionExpand testing coverage: Cypress E2E tests, Jest/Vitest reliability, visual regression testingEnhance developer experience: improve local setup, create debugging tools, reduce onboarding timeDrive Technical ExcellenceArchitect for scale: design database schemas (Prisma), API contracts (Fastify/OpenAPI), and state management that handle millions of designsCode review with impact: catch bugs early, suggest performance improvements, share knowledge through thoughtful feedbackCollaborate cross-functionally: translate requirements into specs, challenge assumptions, investigate production issuesWhat We're Looking ForRequired:Strong experience building complex SPAs with modern React (hooks, context, suspense) and understanding performance tradeoffsProven ability designing and maintaining REST or GraphQL APIs with proper versioning, auth, and documentationDeep TypeScript knowledge — you leverage the type system to catch bugs and improve developer experienceDatabase design experience with ORMs (Prisma) including query optimizationTesting mindset — you write unit, integration, and E2E tests that catch real bugs without slowing iterationSystems thinking — you consider edge cases, failure modes, backward compatibility, and long-term maintenanceStrong communication — clear PRs, documentation, and proactive clarifying questionsAutonomy — you scope work, unblock yourself, and elevate strategicallyNice to Have:Experience with monorepos (NX, Turborepo) and shared library managementFamiliarity with AWS services (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB) and serverless architectureExperience with builder/editor products or highly interactive UIsOur Tech StackFrontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Radix UIBackend: Node.js, Fastify, Serverless Framework, AWS LambdaDatabase: PostgreSQL, Prisma ORM, ClickhouseInfrastructure: AWS (S3, DynamoDB, Kinesis, Athena), Terraform, DockerMonorepo: TurborepoTesting: Jest, Vitest, Cypress, MSWCI/CD: GitHub ActionsObservability: DatadogWe integrate with Clerk (auth), Chargebee (billing), OpenAI/Anthropic/Google (AI), and support multiple builder types.Our ValuesVelocity over perfection — ship iteratively, gather feedback, refineQuality over quantity — one well-tested feature beats three brittle onesCollaboration over heroics — pair on hard problems, share context generouslyOutcomes over activity — measure impact (integration time, uptime, velocity) not story pointsGrowth over ego — give and receive direct feedback, admit mistakes, learn publiclyThe Team & CultureSmall, high-context engineering team where every engineer ships daily. Minimal process: no daily standups, light meetings, async-first communication. We prioritize deep work, trust engineers to manage their time, and measure results by customer impact.#J-18808-Ljbffr
