Bloom is a YC-backed startup making app creation as easy as talking into your phone. We’re building the first mobile AI editor that empowers anyone to design, build, and launch full-stack apps directly from their device.

We're now entering a new growth phase and are looking for a Founding Systems & Growth Engineer — a technical builder/ex-founder who can architect the infrastructure that powers our growth engine while establishing the operational backbone that scales with us

You'll work closely with the founders and a consumer-focused counterpart to build the systems, automation, and analytics that drive decision‑making across the company.

Design and scale Bloom’s technical growth engine, building the internal systems, automations, and data infrastructure that power our next stage of growth.

Own the backbone of Bloom’s internal operations and ensure our company scales efficiently.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain financial hygiene and vendor management, and build models that forecast burn, revenue, and runway ahead of our 2026 Series A.
• Establish robust technical infrastructure for internal tools, data flow, and reporting systems.
• Automate manual operational processes — from user onboarding logic to CRM and support tools — to enhance company‑wide efficiency.
• Prototype internal MVPs that streamline business workflows and bridge the gap between strategy and engineering.
• Collaborate closely with founders to shape the financial and operational systems that underlie Bloom’s next phase.

Build and maintain the technical foundation of Bloom’s go‑to‑market motion and user insights engine.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement automations that drive acquisition, activation, and retention.
• Set up end‑to‑end data pipelines and dashboards that track performance across key growth metrics.
• Instrument product analytics, event tracking, and behavioral funnels to understand user engagement.
• Develop scalable infrastructure for community success — configuring CRM and support bots, streamlining communication loops, and integrating feedback data.
• Partner with the brand and comms lead to test and refine PLG experiments that connect our product with our user base.

You’re a technical generalist who thrives at the edge of product, data, and growth. You love building systems that scale both the product and the business.

You might be a fit if you:

• Have 3+ years of experience in technical operations, growth engineering, or data systems (startup experience preferred).
• Are fluent in SQL and one scripting language (Python, Type Script, etc).
• Have experience connecting APIs, automating workflows, or building internal tools with no‑code/low‑code frameworks.
• Enjoy translating messy business problems into elegant technical solutions.
• Are data‑driven, curious, and highly autonomous.
• Prefer speed and experimentation over perfection — prototype first, polish later.

Bonus points:

• You’ve built growth automations or integrated systems in startups before.
• You’ve built something impressive on Bloom
• You’re comfortable working cross‑functionally with founders, growth, and design.
• You’ve used tools like Notion, Airtable, Retool, or dbt for building internal systems.
• You’ve contributed to or built analytics stacks or internal growth infrastructure.

Bloom is the app that builds mobile apps. We're unlocking a creator economy for software.
