WHY SOCURE?

Socure is building the identity trust infrastructure for the digital economy — verifying 100% of good identities in real time and stopping fraud before it starts. The mission is big, the problems are complex, and the impact is felt by businesses, governments, and millions of people every day.

We hire people who want that level of responsibility. People who move fast, think critically, act like owners, and care deeply about solving customer problems with precision. If you want predictability or narrow scope, this won’t be your place. If you want to help build the future of identity with a team that holds a high bar for itself — keep reading.

Socure is on the search for a Growth Engineer—an entrepreneurial technologist who thrives at the intersection of product, engineering, marketing, and go-to-market. In this high-impact role, you’ll architect and execute growth systems that amplify our brand, generate personalized pipeline, and unlock customer acquisition across multiple verticals with tailored, data-driven messaging.

You’re part builder and part creative strategist—with a deep curiosity and a relentless bias toward experimentation. Whether you're launching full-stack campaigns, optimizing outbound with precision personalization, you'll operate like a growth lab: fast cycles, tight feedback loops, and measurable impact. If you're excited to blend code, content, and conversion tactics to move markets and revenue, this is your moment. You won’t just support growth—you’ll engineer it.

You’ll be the kind of leader great growth marketers want to follow, hands-on, deeply curious, data-obsessed, and energized by building high-leverage systems and teams.

This role is for a builder who prototypes and ships faster than most teams can spec a brief.

  • Scale our sales and marketing functions through automation, AI assistance, and accessible insights
  • Recruit and mentor top growth talent. Attract mission-driven builders who want to work differently, move fast, and solve big problems in an environment to thrive on impact.
  • Own growth analytics and forecasting — define key metrics, build dashboards, and use insights to optimize performance and planning.
  • Deploy AI to multiply output and integrate LLMs and agents into the team’s workflows for scale, personalization, and execution speed.
  • Build Socure’s modern GTM engine by owning campaign automation with logic for lifecycle drips, PLG, and new GTM workflows.

  • Play an integral role in building self-service product initiatives with elegant, UX and dynamic messaging to capture new and existing customers
  • Automate prospecting workflows using innovative tools like clay.io http://clay.io, GenAI agents, and web scrapers to scale outbound marketing.
  • Analyze funnel and behavioral data to rapidly pivot strategies where needed. Change the way RevOps and Marketing Ops measure success.
  • Partner cross-functionally with marketing, partnerships, and product to ensure experiments are aligned to commercial goals.
  • Architect our experimentation system and create a high-velocity testing engine. You’ll design and run A/B tests, measure impact, and iterate quickly on ideas that drive user adoption and revenue.
  • Stay on the bleeding edge. You’ll continuously research new tools, platforms, and frameworks for growth, testing what’s possible and bringing the best solutions in-house
