Growth Engineer

PURPOSE

As a Growth Engineer at First Table, you will play a key role in building, testing, and iterating on customer-facing experiences across both web and mobile platforms.

This role sits within the Conversion & Growth function and focuses on high-cadence experimentation, conversion optimisation, onboarding improvements, and rapid validation of new ideas. You will work closely with the Conversion Lead to implement A/B tests, landing pages, funnel improvements, and customer experience enhancements across our website and mobile e-commerce applications.

Unlike Traditional Product Engineering Roles, This Position Prioritises

• Speed of validation
• Experiment throughput
• Iterative improvement
• Customer behaviour insights
• Evaluating evidence and data

You will work across both our Next.js website platform and React Native / Expo mobile applications, leveraging shared React and TypeScript knowledge across the stack.

This role requires a high level of autonomy, pragmatism, and comfort working in fast-moving environments where not every experiment becomes a permanent product feature.

You will collaborate closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and Engineering teams while remaining aligned with wider engineering standards, tooling, and development practices.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

Conversion & growth development

• Build and iterate on customer-facing experiments across web and app platforms.
• Implement A/B tests, landing pages, onboarding flows, feature experiments, and conversion improvements.
• Rapidly prototype and validate new customer experiences with a focus on learning and iteration speed.
• Contribute to improving booking funnels, user journeys, and conversion performance across platforms.
• Optimise and refine experiments based on analytics, customer behaviour, and performance insights.
• Balance delivery speed with maintainable engineering practices.

Web & app engineering

• Develop and maintain customer-facing functionality within:
• Next.js web applications
• React Native / Expo mobile applications
• Write clean, readable, and maintainable TypeScript and React code aligned with team standards.
• Work within shared GraphQL and API-driven application architecture.
• Support implementation of responsive and performant UI experiences across devices.
• Contribute to frontend component reuse and shared patterns where appropriate.
• Assist with debugging and resolving issues across web and app platforms.

Experimentation & analytics

• Work with experimentation and feature flagging tooling to support rapid rollout and testing of features.
• Contribute to event tracking and analytics implementation to measure experiment outcomes.
• Help improve visibility into customer behaviour, conversion funnels, and feature performance.
• Support implementation of GrowthBook or similar experimentation platforms where applicable.
• Collaborate closely with Analytics and Product teams to validate hypotheses and measure success.

Collaboration & team contribution

• Work closely with the Conversion Lead to execute and iterate on growth initiatives.
• Collaborate with Product, Design, Analytics, and Engineering teams to deliver customer-focused improvements.

• Communicate clearly about progress, blockers, risks, and experiment outcomes.
• Contribute to a collaborative, pragmatic, and delivery-focused engineering culture.
• Be open to learning and adopting new tools, technologies, and experimentation workflows.

AI enabled delivery

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate analysis, implementation, refactoring, test generation, documentation, and debugging, while remaining accountable for the final outcome.
• Break work into well-scoped tasks that can be executed efficiently with AI assistance (clear acceptance criteria, constraints, edge cases).
• Apply “human approval checkpoints” before merge: validate correctness, performance, maintainability, and customer experience.
• Contribute to improving AI-assisted experimentation and rapid delivery workflows within the engineering team.

General Duties And Responsibilities

• Be punctual and work the hours and times specified.
• Prioritise workload to ensure work of the greatest importance to the business is undertaken with urgency and to a high standard.
• Support and help develop a positive workplace culture.

• During work time, and such other times as may be reasonably required, dedicate all effort to the execution and fulfilment of the duties, responsibilities, obligations, and instructions related to employment.
• Follow company guidelines for responsible AI use (no sensitive data leakage; protect First Table IP; use approved tools/workflows).
• Demonstrate through own actions a commitment to Health and Safety at work when undertaking work or observing others in the workplace.
