Product hackers at HackerRank.com (Mountain View,CA). Full time.
Our goal is to build an engaging platform for hackers to solve interesting real world challenges in all domains of Computer Science
We have a dedicated, core group of users since we launched in beta. We're hiring a Product Hacker to focus on two important metrics - Engagement (time spent and interaction) and Retention (churn factor). We listen to our users a lot and been doing a bunch of experiments on our site - bot-vs-bot games, real-world challenges from companies, etc. which has made thousands of users happy. Imagine if you grew this number by 100x or 1000x? Software is eating the world and if all the world's problem solvers come together at a single place, it will be the most valuable place EVER built. We are looking for a Product hacker to help us push features (or kill features) to reach the goal. The Product Hacker is the bridge between the user and the product and works with everyone in the team (designers, founders, engineers)

-- Experience working in user growth teams in the past
-- You are very numbers obsessed and the first thing you wake up to is an analytics dashboard
