We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for Runners

We help everyday runners become outstanding by providing world-class training, coaching and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon. To date we have built iOS, Android and Apple watch apps that help people achieve their goals by coaching them through the full journey and syncing to their favourite fitness devices.

We’re growing extremely fast and in November 2023 closed a new £5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. We want to grow as fast as we can into the future and are looking for individuals who will help us get there. For more about our background and growth check out our Careers Page!

We’re now looking ahead to the future and the people who want to help us build and scale Runna. Our aim is to reach millions of subscribers in the next 5 years and be the go-to training platform for any runner. Now is a magical time to join, we're still small, and everyone makes a foundational difference.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for a talented, creative and positive team player to sit between our Engineering and Growth Teams to help improve our acquisition, conversion and retention across the app. You will work closely with our Growth Lead, CRM Manager, Head of Product and Tech Team to help shape the future of Runna. We will be there to support you all the way along this exciting journey.

As a Software Engineer (Growth) your role will include:

• Acquisition tracking and attribution
• Mobile App Deeplinking
• Monetisation
• Managing all in-app events, maintaining segments of users in Mixpanel / Intercom
• A/B testing relentlessly across the whole app, from onboarding, subscription to acquisition and retention
• Working closely with our CRM manager to implement custom CRM messaging (e.g., workout reminders)
• Building out state-of-the-art growth features such as a referral reward system

Software Engineer Interview Process

Our aim is to keep the interview process as straightforward and enjoyable as possible, and will consist of the following stages:

1. Kick off! (apply below)
2. Introductory chat (30-minute video call)
3. Take home technical task (max 1-2 hours to complete, or if you have something interesting you recently built and would like to showcase then that's perfectly OK)
4. 1.5-hour technical interview (the first half of the call will be used to discuss the take-home technical task from the previous stage and the second half will consist of two live coding exercises from https://leetcode.com/ and some general architecture/tech questions)
5. Meet the team (in-person chat with founder(s) and rest of the team)

Once the process is finished, we promise to let you know our decision as soon as possible.
