Hush is building an intelligent, multi-channel growth system that uses data, automation, and AI to create high-quality sales conversations with senior leaders in financial services.

We are seeking a Growth Systems Engineer to design, operate, and continuously optimize this capability.

This is not a traditional marketing role and not a traditional software engineering role. It is a hybrid position for someone with a computer science or IT background who enjoys configuring tools, building workflows, running experiments, and improving systems tied directly to business outcomes.

This is a full-time, on-site consulting role in Michigan.

Your mission is to build and operate an automated growth engine that supports outreach across multiple channels (email, Linked In, phone, SMS, social) and consistently produces qualified early‑stage sales conversations.

Success is measured by:

Revenue Alignment

• Focus on signal quality over volume
• Eliminate low‑performing workflows and scale what works

This is not:

• a content marketing role
• a social media manager role

Experience (one or more of the following):

• OR demonstrable academic or personal projects involving automation, workflow design, and experimentation

Skills & Traits:

• Strong systems and logical thinking
• Curious about how technology influences human behavior
• Comfortable working with tools and platforms rather than writing large amounts of custom code
• Able to design experiments and learn from results
• High attention to detail and quality

This role will begin as a full‑time, on‑site contract engagement (3–4 months), with the intent to convert to a full‑time position based on performance and mutual fit.

Compensation (contract phase):

$30–45 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
