As a coder, how long do you think you could manage without using StackOverflow? Or maybe you're one of those rare exceptions who never search online?

Information is the new currency for company success, and here at Happeo we are developing the key!

Happeo is the AI-powered intranet rated #1 for Google Workspace organizations. We help our customers build digital homes to stay connected and drive efficiency by bringing order to information chaos, delivering effective internal communications structure, and a place to share knowledge, bringing everyone together as one team with one purpose.

Our global team of Happsters is made up of curious, diverse, innovative individuals that showcase the Happeo values. We focus on working hard, helping each other, and collaborating to do great things for our clients–oh, and we love to have fun, as well. We won’t ever judge your karaoke voice. ☺️

About the team & the role

The Growth team’s mission at Happeo is to make intranets cool, simple, and to ensure that any team and company could benefit from it.

In 2023, we launched a few big experiments including adding a free trial experience with self-service purchase capabilities - we’re the first player in the intranet market to allow that. We’re seeing great traction, and we’ve also learned a lot. We’re now looking to improve and scale this go-to-market motion in 2024 - and we’re going to need you for that.

The Growth team consists of a Senior Full stack / Backend Engineer (this is you!), Senior Frontend Engineer, Principal Designer, Senior Product Analyst, Senior Growth Marketing Manager and a Growth Product Manager. The team is going to collaborate with Core Product, Platform, Ops and GTM teams regularly.

    • Activation: signup and onboarding flows, creating personalised user journeys;

    • Virality: mechanisms for inviting users/joining existing environments;

    • Monetization: deepening our billing integration for self-service purchases;

    • Infrastructure: tracking the customer journey from ad to checkout;

  • Experimentation: conversion rate optimisation and A/B testing.
