Media

Ground News is a news comparison platform that provides users with access to a wide range of news sources. Through its features such as the Browser Extension and Daily Briefing, it allows users to see political bias ratings, coverage percentages from various perspectives (left, center, right), and market-disproportionate reporting on various stories. Ground News empowers readers to understand media bias, review the blind spots in current news stories, and access information from multiple viewpoints for a more balanced understanding of the news. The platform offers local, national, and international news coverage with tools to help readers critically engage with news content.

📋 Description

• Own the technical strategy for Ground News' web properties, 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. • Mature and add rigour to our web experimentation program: framing hypotheses, sizing impact, ensuring clean measurement, and shipping winners while reading results honestly. • Set the bar for web performance, accessibility, SEO, and Core Web Vitals on a consumer property serving millions of readers. • Act as the senior voice in code review and architecture for the frontend chapter, expediting the PR process and raising overall engineering quality. • 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.

🎯 Requirements

• A solid track record of growing the user base and revenue from web properties. You can point to specific outcomes you drove. • Deep expertise building production web applications in Next.js, React, and TypeScript. • Hands-on experience working with or alongside a CRO function, including fluency in the tooling and best practices of modern marketing technology. • A demonstrated track record of running web experimentation (A/B and multivariate testing) and strong, well-formed opinions on how to do it well. • Experience standing up self-serve tooling (visual page and landing-page builders such as Unbounce or Framer, headless content, experimentation platforms) that lets non-engineers ship changes safely; experience migrating between such platforms is a plus. • Hands-on experience with PostHog is highly valued (Amplitude or Segment are acceptable substitutes), along with the instrumentation behind a trustworthy funnel. • A sharp eye for web performance, accessibility, SEO, and conversion on consumer-scale properties. • Experience shipping changes safely to production, including feature flagging, monitoring, and risk mitigation on revenue-critical surfaces. • A collaborative, cross-functional approach: you're comfortable acting as a senior technical voice and partnering closely with Growth, Marketing, and CRO.
