As a Growth Engineer at First Table, you will play a key role in building, testing, and iterating on customer-facing experiences across both web and mobile platforms.

This role sits within the Conversion & Growth function and focuses on high-cadence experimentation, conversion optimisation, onboarding improvements, and rapid validation of new ideas. You will work closely with the Conversion Lead to implement A/B tests, landing pages, funnel improvements, and customer experience enhancements across our website and mobile e-commerce applications.

Unlike traditional product engineering roles, this position prioritises:

• Speed of validation
• Experiment throughput
• Iterative improvement
• Customer behaviour insights
• Evaluating evidence and data

You will work across both our Next.js website platform and React Native / Expo mobile applications, leveraging shared React and TypeScript knowledge across the stack.

This role requires a high level of autonomy, pragmatism, and comfort working in fast-moving environments where not every experiment becomes a permanent product feature.

You will collaborate closely with Product, Design, Analytics, and Engineering teams while remaining aligned with wider engineering standards, tooling, and development practices.
