Growth Engineer

About Krea

At Krea, we are building next-generation AI creative tools.

We are dedicated to making AI intuitive and controllable for creatives. Our mission is to build tools that empower human creativity, not replace it.

We believe AI is a new medium that allows us to express ourselves through various formats—text, images, video, sound, and even 3D. We're building better, smarter, and more controllable tools to harness this medium.

We’ve raised over $83M and are backed by world-class Silicon Valley investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and Bain Capital. We work full-time and in-person at our waterfront office in San Francisco.

This job

We’re hiring a Growth Engineer focused on user experience and product to own and optimize the first-time user journey at Krea.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, UX, and growth. Your primary goal is to ensure that a user’s first interactions with Krea are intuitive, delightful, and lead them to value as quickly as possible.

This is for someone who combines technical strength with deep empathy for users.

Some stuff you’ll do:

• Own and improve the first-time user experience across onboarding, activation, and early product usage.

• Design, build, and run A/B tests to improve conversion and engagement throughout the funnel.

• Conduct UX research and user interviews to uncover friction and opportunities.

• Set up and maintain analytics, event instrumentation, and dashboards to measure experience quality.

• Build and ship product and UX improvements directly in the codebase.

• Partner with design, product, and growth to translate insights into shipped improvements.

• Coordinate with teams or contributors working on SEO pages, docs, landing pages, and pricing to ensure a consistent and intuitive experience.
  

What we're looking for:

• Strong engineering background with experience shipping user-facing product changes.

• Deep care for UX and user empathy; experience running user interviews or usability tests.

• Comfort with analytics, experimentation frameworks, and A/B testing tools.

• Product-minded: you think holistically about journeys, not just individual features.

• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of ambiguous problem spaces.

• Experience working closely with designers, PMs, and marketers.

• Bonus: experience in creative tools, developer tools, or AI-powered products.

What we offer:

• Openness to sponsoring international candidates (e.g., STEM OPT, OPT, H-1B, O-1, E-3).

• Work alongside a world-class team building the future of AI creative tooling.

• Significant scope and company-wide impact.

• Competitive compensation (75th percentile of market) with meaningful equity.
