Growth Engineer

As a Growth Engineer at Sprinter, your primary responsibilities will revolve around developing and executing growth strategies aimed at enhancing patient engagement. You'll be tasked with designing experiments, analyzing funnels, and employing innovative outreach techniques across multiple channels. Your efforts will help ensure that information about patient care gaps reaches those who need it most, driving both user engagement and tangible healthcare outcomes.

The Growth Engineer role at Sprinter requires a strong background in software engineering, ideally with proficiency in Typescript, Python, and AWS technologies. Familiarity with growth hacking principles, A/B testing, and data analysis tools is essential. Additionally, personal attributes like creativity, collaboration, and a desire to make a meaningful impact in healthcare are highly valued as part of the team.

Sprinter is committed to fostering an environment that encourages professional growth for its Growth Engineers. With access to continuous learning opportunities such as tech talks, design sprints, and collaborative brainstorming sessions, you'll have the chance to expand your skills and knowledge. Furthermore, as Sprinter continues to grow, you can expect to take on larger responsibilities and influence significant decisions within the company.

At Sprinter, the company culture is aimed at collaboration, innovation, and enjoyment. Employees benefit from a fully-stocked micro-kitchen, regular team events, and a supportive environment that promotes work-life balance. Our culture thrives on the mission to improve healthcare delivery, and we seek individuals who are not just technically skilled but also passionate about making an impact and contributing to our core values.

As a Growth Engineer at Sprinter, you will work with a range of cutting-edge technologies, including Typescript, Python, AWS Amplify stack, BigQuery, and more. Additional tools like OpenSearch, Looker, and React Native will also be part of your toolkit. This variety ensures that you will continuously learn and remain at the forefront of engineering practices while driving growth in patient engagement.

When designing A/B tests, I start by clearly defining the objectives and key metrics we want to impact. I then formulate a hypothesis based on insights or behavior patterns observed in current patient engagement data. Next, I ensure the sample size is statistically significant, so results are reliable. Continuous monitoring during the test is crucial to make necessary adjustments and properly analyze the outcome to inform future growth strategies.

In a fast-paced environment, I prioritize growth initiatives by evaluating their potential impact based on data-driven insights, feasibility, and alignment with our larger mission. I often use frameworks like the ICE score (Impact, Confidence, Ease) to quantify and compare initiatives. Engaging in constant communication with team members allows for the exchange of ideas and helps in identifying which initiatives are worth pursuing first.

I have worked extensively with multi-channel marketing efforts by integrating various platforms like SMS, email campaigns, and even traditional mail to optimize patient outreach. My goal is to create a cohesive experience where patients receive consistent messaging across channels. This also involves analyzing conversion rates across channels to assess which methods yield the best results and adjusting strategies accordingly.

In a past role, I launched an experiment to test different messaging approaches for patient outreach. One particular variant targeted younger patients with digital content emphasizing convenience while another aimed at older patients focused on trust and reliability. The results showed a significant difference in engagement rates. This insight not only informed our communication strategy but also allowed us to tailor messages effectively based on demographics.

I always prioritize ethical considerations and patient sensitivity in my growth strategies. By conducting thorough research and understanding our patient base, I ensure that strategies resonate with their needs while respecting privacy. Initiatives are designed to empower patients with information, making healthcare more accessible, without resorting to manipulative tactics.

Data and analytics are the cornerstone of my decision-making process as a Growth Engineer. I leverage analytics tools to synthesize patient data, track engagement metrics, and assess performance across various initiatives. This quantitative data aids in identifying trends, guiding strategic direction, and measuring the efficacy of experiments, allowing for informed, data-backed decisions.

My approach to collaboration with product managers and engineers is rooted in open communication and leveraging each other’s strengths. I believe successful projects stem from aligning on goals early and maintaining transparent communication throughout the process. Regular check-ins and brainstorming sessions encourage creativity and ensure that we're all working towards the same objectives, fostering a collaborative team environment.

I am motivated to work in healthcare technology because it offers a unique opportunity to create meaningful change in people's lives. The thought of contributing to solutions that enhance patient engagement, streamline healthcare delivery, and ultimately improve health outcomes inspires me. I find great fulfillment in knowing that my work directly impacts individuals and communities.

I stay updated on the latest trends in growth engineering by actively participating in industry conferences, attending webinars, and engaging with thought leaders on social media platforms. Subscribing to relevant newsletters and reading case studies also keeps me informed of new methodologies and technologies that can enhance my approach to growth strategies.

When faced with challenges or roadblocks in projects, I take a systematic approach to problem-solving. First, I assess the situation to identify the root cause of the issue. I then collaborate with team members to brainstorm potential solutions, leveraging diverse perspectives. Once a solution is identified, we outline a clear action plan, ensuring we learn from the experience to prevent similar challenges in the future.
