## Description

We are seeking a Member of Technical Staff (Software Engineer, Computer Growth) to join our team. As a growth engineer at Perplexity, you will work across the full funnel , activation, onboarding, SEO, lifecycle, conversion, retention, and paid upgrade moments , while also building the applied AI systems that make those experiences smarter.

You will design, build, and own growth surfaces across the full funnel for Computer and every Perplexity product. You will lead experiments end-to-end, from hypothesis and instrumentation through implementation, analysis, and rollout, shipping many in parallel and learning quickly from each.

You will build applied AI systems that power growth: classifiers for high-intent segments, personalization for value discovery, and AI-driven onboarding and recommendation surfaces. You will launch vertical-specific experiences (e.g., students, enterprise organizations) that connect new AI capabilities to measurable adoption and revenue outcomes.

You will hill-climb on the metrics that matter: activation rate, paid conversion, retention, and habit formation, instrumented with clean data and trustworthy experiment readouts. You will partner closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Monetization, Marketing, and Applied AI to translate behavioral signals and model outputs into durable product surfaces.

The ideal candidate will have 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, full-stack engineering skills, and strong execution. They will be comfortable with A/B testing and experimentation platforms, SQL, and data-informed decision-making. They will have strong product judgment and self-motivation with strong ownership instincts.
