[job_card.job_description]

We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.

📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.

💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner : one that understands context, clarity, and taste.

💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation , crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue , and have been profitable since 2023.

💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.

About the role

You'll own end‑to‑end growth strategy and execution as we scale Gamma to hundreds of millions of users. This means driving key business metrics like sign‑ups, activation rates, conversion, retention, and revenue while designing the infrastructure that enables rapid experimentation at scale. You'll architect complex monetization features including multi‑tier pricing, usage‑based billing, payment flows, and subscription management while partnering with leadership to shape company‑wide growth strategy.

As a Staff Engineer on the Growth team, you'll balance hands‑on engineering with technical leadership. You'll mentor engineers on growth best practices and experimentation rigor, make critical technical decisions about when to experiment vs commit, and identify high‑leverage opportunities hiding in data. You'll bring both statistical rigor and strong judgment, knowing when metrics lie, when to trust intuition, and when to dig deeper.

Our team has a strong in‑office culture and works in person 4–5 days per week in San Francisco. We love working together to stay creative and connected, with flexibility to work from home when focus matters most.

What you'll do

  • Design and architect growth infrastructure including experimentation framework, analytics pipelines, feature flagging, and credit systems
  • Build complex monetization features including multi‑tier pricing, usage‑based billing, payment flows, and subscription management
  • Lead technical decision‑making for growth initiatives, determining when to experiment vs commit and when to rebuild vs iterate
  • Mentor engineers on growth best practices, experimentation rigor, and product thinking
  • Identify high‑leverage opportunities by finding 10x wins hiding in data, unblocking bottlenecks, and architecting for scale
  • Partner with EPD and GTM leadership to shape company‑wide growth strategy

What you'll bring

  • 7+ years building production web applications with deep full‑stack expertise
  • Proven track record moving critical business metrics at scale (revenue, activation, retention)
  • Strong technical leadership with ability to architect complex systems, make build vs buy decisions, and guide technical direction
  • Expert at experimentation with statistical rigor, understanding of pitfalls, and ability to build frameworks that enable team velocity
  • Proficiency in TypeScript, React, Node.js (or strong fundamentals in similar technologies)
  • Deep product and business sense with ability to see around corners, translate strategy into execution, and drive measurable change in metric
  • Experience with payment systems, billing logic, and fraud prevention at scale
  • High autonomy, low ego with empathetic, reflective, self‑aware, growth mindset that actively promotes psychological safety
  • (Nice to have) Built 0→1 monetization, scaled growth from early stage to Series B+, or led experimentation platforms
  • Compensation range :

    Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.

    If you're interested in this role but you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway! We're always excited about meeting great people.

    We're building on a full Typescript stack centered around some of the most modern and popular technologies.

    We use our own custom, open‑source AI prompting framework, AIJSX. We have a lot of custom tools built in‑house, but also new ones like Vercel AI SDK.

    Our tiny team operates at massive scale :

    1M+

    70M

    users around the world

    6M+

    AI images generated daily

    1 trillion

    LLM tokens processed per month

    Life at Gamma

    You get energy from small teams doing big things.

    You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.

    You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.

    You value details, but know when to ship and move on.

    You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.

    You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.

    You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.

    You like working with people who care deeply : about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.

    Who we are

    Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.

    We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.

    Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside :

    We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers :

    "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"

    "You can have an idea and just run with it."

    "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."

    "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."

    Meet the team

    We're a team of dreamers and doers building in beautiful San Francisco 🌉

    We're kabbadi enthusiasts, pickleballers, dog herders, woodworkers, keyboard nerds, potters, and more — and we can’t wait to meet you!
