Product Engineer

Your sole responsibility as our Product Engineer will be to build the most beautiful and useful reading app in the world. This includes individual contributor responsibilities such as owning all things product engineering and user research. But you will also be responsible for building an engineering culture of incredibly exacting craftsmanship. If the engineering of Perch isn't world-class, the probability of us serving a billion users is zero.

This is an opportunity to do the best work of your life and build a product that impacts billions of people, while making the whole world smarter. Financially, you can view it as compressing 40+ working years into 2-4 really intense ones. Here are the assumptions that have to hold for Perch to be a $100 billion company, using Spotify's $100+ billion market cap and 640 MAUs as a comp:

1. 640 million MAUs: Hundreds of millions of people already read blogs and newsletters, and we think we can grow the market to 1 billion+ by removing discovery/cost friction from the user experience.
2. $30 ARPU: Spotify's revenue per user is $30. Instagram's is $50.

But beyond monetary rewards and potentially impacting the lives of billions of people, we believe this is a rare opportunity to grow as an engineer and as a person. You will work with a fantastic group of teammates on some incredibly hard problems, and in the process, you will become a better engineer than you ever could've imagined while cultivating friendships with your colleagues that last a lifetime. If this resonates, we'd love to talk with you.
