Senior Software Engineer, Growth
About Posh
We are all social creatures, but the dominant “social” companies today have evolved into digital loneliness machines, driving isolation, anxiety, and mental health challenges around the world.
Human connection is lost. Posh is a beacon guiding us back.
Posh enables anyone to build an IRL community based on shared interests, while connecting consumers with the communities of people just like them. Founded by event organizers who were frustrated with the growing loneliness epidemic and the tools available to build their own event brand, we’ve built the ultimate platform for launching, monetizing, and finding IRL communities of people just like you. In just 5 years, Posh has grown to a team of 65, expanded to 7M+ users, secured $70m in venture funding, and facilitated over $300M in transactions.
About The Role
At Posh, you'll help shape a platform that brings people together through social experiences. Your work will directly impact how event organizers create experiences and how attendees discover and enjoy them.
We're looking for someone who excels in both technical skills and data. As a Growth Engineer at Posh, you will be critical in driving user acquisition, engagement, and retention through innovative and data-driven strategies.

This is an in-person role based in our New York City office in the heart of SoHo. Building live experiences and building with soul are important for our customers, and we believe being and working together as a team is the best way for Posh to feel and achieve this. Events on Posh should be fun, alive, and driven with passion and we want to mirror this in our teams every day!

Strong understanding of growth strategies, experimentation frameworks, and metrics-driven decision-making
Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for creating products that connect people in the real world
Experience with A/B testing frameworks or experimentation platforms (e.g., StatSig, LaunchDarkly).
