Hiring the first dedicated Growth Engineer to define growth engineering at Ello, owning features end to end across mobile, web, backend, and lifecycle channels. Designs and runs experiments and instruments onboarding, signup, referrals, and notifications, working with product, design, and engineering. Stack includes Flutter, native iOS/Android, React, Python, SQL, Mixpanel, Amplitude, and Segment.
Our mission at Ello is simple and urgent: maximize the potential of every child, everywhere. Weāre building the worldās first AI teacherāone that listens, speaks, adapts, and inspires, just like the best human educators.
Our first product, Read with Ello, is already helping tens of thousands of kids each week learn to read. It listens as they read aloud, offers support when they stumble, and generates magical, personalized stories. It works, and kids love it.
Now weāre scaling that success into something even bigger: a complete AI teacher that can help children learn far beyond reading. Our new app combines language, speech, and memory to deliver interactive learning for kids worldwide; check it out here. We ship weekly, test directly with kids, and push the boundaries of whatās possible with AI in education.
With the resources of the worldās top investors and the heart of a public benefit corporation, weāre here to revolutionize how children learn globally. Featured on TIMEās Best Inventions and Fortuneās Change the World, Ello is a small, mission-driven team taking on one of the most important challenges of our time: democratizing education.
Ello is entering a new stage of growth, and weāre hiring our first dedicated Growth Engineer to help define and lead how growth engineering works here.
Youāll collaborate closely with PMs and key stakeholders to ideate, develop and bring ideas to life. Youāll own the full learning loop that drives features into real business outcomes. Your work spans customer facing product surfaces that carry into the data, experimentation, and operational systems behind them.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants to help build a function, not simply join one. You might be an exceptional product-minded generalist with a high ceiling, or an experienced growth engineer who brings a craft we do not yet have. We care more about judgment, creativity, agency, and demonstrated impact than a specific number of years.
We work in person from our San Francisco office and are big believers in face-to-face collaboration.
The strongest candidates will be excellent in at least two of the following areas and solid in the third:
