About the team

Miro’s timeless mission is to empower teams to create the next big things. There are millions of creators, builders, and innovators motivated by making an impact in the world, and we aim to achieve our mission both by providing best solutions for collaboration and innovation and by enabling peer to peer, company to company connection through building a powerful community where Miro users come together to solve the world’s biggest problems.

The Growth stream is all about activating value for end users for example Consultants team is focused on the needs of professional consultants, tailoring for their specific needs and the Miroverse team builds cross-product features and shared components for our community platforms (e.g. Miroverse or Marketplace). The teams build solutions by running a large volume of experiments, building user engagement with the product.

Most of the Growth stream is based in Amsterdam.

Each role at Miro is based at one of our physical hubs and we look for talent that wants to be part of these local, collaborative communities. Mironeers work in a hybrid model, with a 2 days a week in office culture as our baseline.

About the role

In Growth, our mission is to help more customers discover Miro. Over the past couple of years we have seen Miro grow massively and become an essential part of the workflow for 45+ million customers, which comes with added technical complexity and the need to build the product for a very different scale. Next to this, with more customers using Miro we continuously learn about new use cases and features we can build, and that requires a different approach to our architecture.

This role will sit within our Monetization sub stream which is made up of six teams (four of which you would support). The teams you would support in this role (currently ~20 engineers in total) are responsible for increasing the conversion and adoption of self-serve paid plans and giving focused attention to specific customer segments and addressing their unique needs.

Technology wise, we currently work with Java, Kotlin and Node.js on the backend, and a mix of React and Angular on the frontend.
