About the role
About Us:
a0.dev is an AI platform that turns app ideas into real, revenue-generating mobile apps. Users enter their idea and our AI designs, codes, tests, and ships it to the App Store, handling everything from infrastructure to deployment in one place. We were one of the first AI mobile app builders in the market and have helped over 300k people bring their ideas to life. We're a small, well-funded, in-person team in San Francisco backed by Y Combinator and other top investors. We believe the future is one where anyone can invest in their ideas regardless of technical experience, and we're building a platform that helps people not just create apps, but launch them, market them, monetize them, and turn their ideas into real businesses that reach millions of users.
The Role:
We're looking for a Founding Growth Lead to own how a0.dev acquires, converts, and retains users as we launch our next product and scale from hundreds of thousands of users to tens of millions. You'll work directly with the founders to find the channels and loops that can carry us to scale, and to turn early traction into a repeatable growth engine.
This is a full-funnel role. You'll cast a wide net, run experiments across paid, lifecycle, and the product itself, and go deep on whatever shows signal. Our next product is AI-native, and the user-facing AI is one of the most interesting growth surfaces we have; how it converts, how it gets users to invite their friends, and how it earns money will be important to your role. You'll work with the founders to shape what that AI says and does based on what you're learning. This is a 90-day contract-to-hire role with a clear path to a full-time founding team seat for the right person. Successful contractors transition into full-time founding team roles with salary and back-dated equity. We'll align on success metrics in your first week.
