📋 Description

• Hello, we’re Instrumentl. • We’re a mission-driven startup helping the nonprofit sector to drive impact, and we’re well on our way to becoming the #1 most-loved grant discovery and management tool. To help us get there, we’re hiring a Growth Engineer to design experiments and implement features that drive user acquisition, activation, retention, and engagement. • About us: • Instrumentl is a hypergrowth YC-backed startup with over 4,000 nonprofit clients, from local homeless shelters to larger organizations like the San Diego Zoo and the University of Alaska. We are building the future of fundraising automation, helping nonprofits to discover, track, and manage grants efficiently through our SaaS platform. Since 2015, our customers have used Instrumentl to find, win, and manage over $6.7 billion in grant funding. • Our charts are dramatically up-and-to-the-right 📈 — we’re cash flow positive and doubling year-over-year, with customers who love us (NPS is 65+ and Ellis PMF survey is 60+). Join us on this rocket ship! • About the role: • As a Growth Engineer at Instrumentl, you’ll collaborate closely with our Product, Marketing, Design, and Data teams, playing a pivotal role in accelerating our company’s expansion through rapid iteration and data-driven decision-making. Get to know us at instrumentl.com/about! • Our ideal candidate is eager to learn, willing to experiment, and excited to empower both teammates and customers to accelerate social progress and propel innovation. • The Instrumentl team is fully distributed (though if you’d like to work from our Oakland office, we would love to see you there). For this position, we are looking for someone who has significant overlap with Pacific Time Zone working hours.

🎯 Requirements

• Experienced: you’ve been a software engineer for 3+ years, with a strong emphasis on Ruby on Rails development. Startup experience and comfort operating in fast, scrappy environments is a huge plus! • Technically adaptable: you’re familiar with front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and their integration with Rails applications, and you’re open to learning new tools or frameworks to move faster and build better. • Customer-focused: you take pride in delivering exceptional user experiences—from first touch to deep engagement—and love being part of projects that help users quickly realize value. • Collaborative: you thrive in a cross-functional environment involving product managers, designers, marketers, and data analysts, and you value the unique perspective each person brings to the table. • Experimental: You’re comfortable with rapid iteration, feature flagging, and A/B testing. You have experience (or are excited by the idea of) running experiments at different points in the funnel - from onboarding to activation - and using those results to drive decisions. • Highly analytical: you approach problem-solving with a data-first mindset and can readily interpret experiment results, behavioral analytics, and product telemetry to guide next steps. • Hungry: you’re on a mission to make an impact. You’re motivated by fast learning cycles, continuous improvement, and seeing your work move the needle. • Results-Driven: you’ve demonstrated the ability to ship value in fast-paced environments and are energized by getting things out the door and into users’ hands. • Passionate: you’re excited about Instrumentl’s mission to propel nonprofits into a bigger, brighter future—and you’re particularly energized by our early bets on AI and LLM-powered experiences to help users onboard and find value faster.
