Youll lead the frontend side of our new Growth & Monetization team, working at the intersection of product engineering, infrastructure and business strategy. Our scope spans the entire customer journey, from self-serve signup and onboarding to pricing and billing infrastructure, intelligent notifications, product discovery and customer value realization. Were also exploring how AI can transform these experiences, whether thats personalizing onboarding, proactively guiding customers toward deeper platform adoption, helping customers understand the value theyre getting from Nominal or automating business value assessments to support renewals and expansion. Youll own what customers see and touch: signup, onboarding, checkout and the in-product experiences that show them the value theyre getting. This is a role for someone who decides whats worth building, not just how to build it. Youll identify growth constraints, set the goals the team executes toward and be the technical authority for customer-facing growth experiences across Nominal. Youll be hands-on from day one, designing, building and shipping the core experiences yourself, and your work will directly shape how customers adopt the platform, discover new capabilities and expand their relationship with Nominal. Youll own the business outcomes as well as the technical decisions. As the team grows around you, theres a path to leading it, but the first job is building the foundation. Youll work closely with product, design and go-to-market leadership and have direct exposure to the business leaders whose outcomes depend on this work. What youll do * Set the technical strategy for customer-facing growth experiences. Own the roadmap for onboarding, activation, checkout and value-realization surfaces, and decide what gets built, in what order and why. * Identify and unlock growth opportunities. Find the technical and product constraints across acquisition, activation, retention and monetization, decide which are worth solving and measure the business impact of solving them. * Build the core experiences yourself. Design, ship and iterate on the first versions of the surfaces this team owns, and set the patterns the engineers who follow will build on. * Make customer value tangible. Build the dashboards, visualizations and interactive experiences that communicate business outcomes, highlight adoption milestones and show customers where to get more value. * Build frictionless customer journeys. Own the signup, onboarding, checkout and activation experiences that get customers started quickly. * Drive product discovery and engagement. Build in-product notifications, feature announcements, contextual guidance and personalized nudges toward deeper adoption. * Enable self-serve monetization. Build the experiences for payments, usage visibility, trials and upgrades that make it easy for customers to expand. * Build AI-native growth experiences. Create the intelligent, personalized product experiences that guide customers to outcomes and recommend next steps. * Set the engineering bar for a new function. Establish the standards, review practices and operating norms the team works to, and help shape who joins it as it grows.
