Tech Lead - Growth

Arcade.dev is a pioneering company transforming AI applications by creating infrastructure that enables AI to perform real-world actions. They are seeking a Tech Lead for Growth who will be responsible for leading a small team, shaping the developer experience, and driving activation flows to ensure a seamless onboarding process for developers.

Responsibilities:

• Own the technical direction and delivery for Growth engineering: activation flows, onboarding, billing, docs, and developer experience surfaces across the product
• Ship code daily across the stack - React frontend, Go and Python backend services - while making architecture decisions that hold up as the team scales
• Lead a small team (1–2 engineers today, growing): unblock them, review their code, and set the technical bar. You'll be IC-heavy at first, coding alongside the team, and gradually shift toward planning, architecture, and technical direction as the team grows
• Build the experimentation and measurement layer: feature flags, A/B tests, funnel instrumentation, and cohort dashboards so the team can run data-driven activation experiments
• Reduce time-to-value by identifying and eliminating friction in the MCP Gateway setup, OAuth configuration, onboarding UX, and documentation
• Navigate cross-team dependencies with Platform and Tools engineering: bring funnel data, propose interface changes, and ship contributions to services you don't own when it unblocks activation work
• Build leverage by using automation and AI tooling to compress cycle times. Projects that take a week today should take a day next time
