\nBRISBANE, AUSTRALIA OR REMOTE\nGROWTH | FULL-TIME\n\nThe Opportunity\n\nShorthand is a growing company that provides a digital publishing platform to many of the world's best-known publishers, brands, not-for-profits, and universities. With customers on every continent (except Antarctica!), there's never been a more exciting time to join Shorthand. Our company has a rare distinction in this era of money-burning startups of being comfortably profitable. We're a small team of geeks with art and heart, and a high bar for quality.\n\nWe're introducing a new role for a Senior Software Engineer (Growth). The role will be perfect for an experienced full stack software engineer who has an analytical bent and enjoys working on business, UX, and optimisation problems with a data-driven experimental approach.\n\nThe successful candidate will contribute to Shorthand's Growth function, taking the lead on implementing growth experiments and testing new onboarding flows for our SaaS platform. The objectives of the growth experiments will be to improve the product onboarding experience, website design, and human onboarding touchpoints for maximum user satisfaction and retention.\n\nThe role involves a high degree of autonomy and creativity, and will suit somebody who is passionate about learning, metrics, and delivering outstanding user experiences. \n\nGrowth at Shorthand is a new function that offers exciting opportunities for affecting change to the core product and its user base, as well as significant opportunities to bring together disparate tools, data and teams across the company. The role will be especially rewarding to candidates who are interested in acquiring broad knowledge on how to successfully grow a product's user base and scale an early-to-mid stage SaaS business.\n\nThe Role\n\nWe tend to do things a little differently at Shorthand.

You'll be working from home, or from a coworking location of your choice. You'll be based somewhere in South-East Queensland or a compatible timezone.\n\nAs Senior Software Engineer (Growth), you'll play a critical role in formulating and executing agile yet rigorous growth experiments aimed at improving the onboarding and retention of satisfied users. You'll work closely with the other members of the Growth team to identify and test key hypotheses.
