About the role

We're looking for a senior frontend engineer to join our Value-Led Growth team. You'll work on some of Buffer's most impactful surfaces — pricing and packaging, our free plan, referral and affiliate programs, and new ways to reach users beyond sign-up. This is foundational work that directly shapes how people discover and experience Buffer.

We need someone with strong product instincts and the ability to work independently across team boundaries; bonus if you have experience working on or closely with a growth team. You care about metrics and user behavior as much as polished UI.

You'll collaborate closely with our Staff Growth Product Manager, engineers from other teams, and various stakeholders to explore opportunities, validate ideas, and ship high-impact growth initiatives.

We're a small, collaborative team that puts value before revenue in our decision making. We iterate based on real user data, care deeply about long-term customer relationships, and focus on building trust through exceptional experiences. You'll have space to lead, evangelize growth thinking across Buffer, and help establish the foundations of our growth engineering culture.

What you’ll do

Lead the development of core features — referral and affiliate program, improve pricing and packaging to optimize for Buffer's core value, and building Buffer's public tier and free tools to provide value far beyond signed-in users.
Drive experimentation — implement A/B tests, track key metrics to continue making Buffer's free plan the best in the market, optimize conversion and engagement that drive stronger acquisition and retention.
Collaborate across teams, you'll work closely with other teams to identify growth opportunities and implement solutions that span multiple domains.
Shape platform capabilities, build tools and systems that enable other teams to easily implement growth features, run experiments, and optimize their own conversion funnels.
Shape frontend architecture and UI standards, guide technical decisions from state management and component structure to evolving our internal design system (Popcorn), refining shared patterns, and ensuring our interfaces remain consistent, accessible, and scalable across growth initiatives.
Take shared ownership of product quality and system health. You'll participate in our on-call rotation — all engineers take a 24/7 week-long shift roughly once a quarter. You'll also contribute to the ongoing work that keeps our systems running smoothly and continuously improving, like fixing bugs, addressing security vulnerabilities, and other improvements
Contribute to shaping our team’s engineering culture by sharing knowledge, reviewing code, and helping us all get better over time.

Helpful skills and experience

You have solid experience building interactive, user-facing applications with modern web tech — we use React, TypeScript, and GraphQL, but we care more about your ability to reason well and learn quickly than a specific stack.
You enjoy solving problems that directly impact business metrics. Bonus: you understand growth domain challenges and have experience working on a growth team — maybe you've built referral systems, optimized conversion flows, onboarding or implemented experimentation frameworks.
You're comfortable with data and analytics — you can set up tracking, analyze experiment results, and make data-driven decisions about feature development and optimization.
You have strong product judgment and a good sense of taste. You notice the small things, care about the feel of an interface, and bring a high bar to the UI details that shape user experience.
You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and working independently, can drive technical discussions across teams, and help establish engineering practices for a growing team.
You’ve led significant frontend initiatives or projects, bringing clarity and direction to complex problems and guiding work from early exploration through to delivery.
You have a personal stake in the world of content creation, maybe you’ve run a newsletter, built an audience on social media, or regularly share your own work online. You’ve used Buffer before and care about the experience of planning, creating, and publishing content.
You thrive in remote, async environments. You communicate clearly, support your teammates, and don’t wait for permission to make progress.
You’re product-minded and user-oriented — you think beyond the ticket, consider edge cases and user experience, and bring a strong sense of ownership to your work.
You’re comfortable working with backend code when needed, and you understand how frontend decisions connect to the bigger picture.
You’re fluent with AI tools and use them to work with more leverage and level up your own efficiency.
You’ve likely been doing this for 7+ years, but depth matters more to us than a specific number.
