Lead Engineer, Member Growth

Circle builds an all-in-one platform where creators, coaches, educators and businesses run their communities, courses, events and payments under their own brand. It is a fully remote company of around 270 people in more than 30 countries, working mostly async and meeting twice a year for company retreats.

This lead engineer owns Analytics and Member Growth inside Circle's Growth team. It is a hands-on role: most of the week goes to designing, reviewing and shipping code, and the rest to running a small team of experienced engineers through 1:1s, planning and hiring. You would own the analytics stack that lets business owners understand what is happening in their communities, including interactive visualisations, ClickHouse data infrastructure and LLM-powered natural-language questions over their data. You would also own the roadmap for onboarding and activation, using A/B tests to improve how millions of new members go from sign-up to real engagement.

Circle wants 7+ years shipping production software on complex web apps with Ruby on Rails, MySQL or PostgreSQL, React and TypeScript, experience leading engineers on large initiatives, and depth in either data and analytics infrastructure or growth product engineering. Shipping LLM features, Stripe or billing experience and a PLG background all help. Written English at C2 level matters because most collaboration is async.

Pay is $162,000 a year in US-benchmarked cash compensation offered globally, plus equity and 35 days of paid time off. Fully remote, anywhere.
