About the Company

Our client is building a generative AI platform that enables users to create games and interactive experiences without traditional coding.

The platform has reached more than 40 million users and is growing rapidly, with user growth doubling approximately every three months as the company prepares for a major U.S. market expansion.

The company has raised more than $100M and is backed by leading investors and technology companies. The team is exceptionally technical, with backgrounds across leading AI research organizations, major technology companies, and top universities.

As a Product Growth hire, you'll own the creator side of a rapidly growing two-sided consumer platform. You'll be responsible for building the creator growth function nearly from scratch and identifying the highest-leverage opportunities across acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention.

This is a highly cross-functional role combining product management, engineering, design, and data analytics. You'll have significant autonomy to identify opportunities, build prototypes, run experiments, work directly with users, and ship products that materially impact growth.

What You'll Do

• Own product growth for the creator ecosystem from first visit through first published game and ongoing engagement
• Build the creator growth function from the ground up
• Identify high-leverage opportunities across creator acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, and conversion
• Design and ship growth experiments that move key product metrics
• Use data analytics and direct user insights to identify product opportunities
• Analyze user behavior and translate data into actionable growth strategies
• Run A/B tests and evaluate experiment results
• Build instrumentation and analytics needed to measure product growth
• Rapidly prototype ideas using AI-powered coding and vibe-coding tools
• Build functional mockups and prototypes independently to validate ideas quickly
• Partner with front-end engineers to bring successful prototypes into production
• Work directly with creators to understand their workflows, needs, and pain points
• Engage with creator communities and gather qualitative product feedback
• Translate creator feedback into product improvements and growth experiments
• Collaborate closely with engineering, design, and data teams
• Help shape product roadmap decisions based on growth opportunities
• Own growth initiatives from ideation through execution and measurement
• Develop new strategies for creator acquisition and engagement
• Experiment with new product surfaces and user experiences
• Move quickly from hypothesis to prototype to production
• Make independent decisions with limited direction
• Balance quantitative data with product intuition and direct user understanding
• Help establish scalable growth systems and processes
• Report directly to senior leadership and operate with significant ownership
• Contribute to the broader product strategy of a rapidly growing consumer AI platform

Why Join

This is an opportunity to join one of the fastest-growing consumer AI platforms in the market and take ownership of an entirely new product growth function.

You'll work on the creator side of a massive two-sided platform, identifying growth opportunities, building prototypes, running experiments, and shipping products that directly influence acquisition, activation, engagement, and retention.

You'll operate as a hybrid product manager, engineer, designer, and data scientist, with the freedom to build and test ideas quickly rather than waiting through traditional product development cycles.

If you enjoy high ownership, rapid experimentation, consumer products, data-driven decision-making, AI-powered development, and building functions from scratch, this role offers exceptional scope and impact.
