Product & Growth Engineer (Frontend Ibadan Nigeria)

Job Title: Product & Growth Engineer (Frontend Ibadan Nigeria)

Location: Ibadan, Nigeria (Hybrid)

About Us

We're on a mission to build a time tracker that people actually love to use.

Forget the slow, bloated, "creepy" surveillance software. We are the "anti-TimeDoctor." We're a bootstrapped startup building a fast, lightweight, and beautiful app that helps agencies, lawyers, and consultants build trust with their clients and teams.

Our core advantage is our product, built on a modern, high-performance stack (Go/Rust, Svelte, Tauri). We're a 4-person founding squad in Ibadan, and we're looking for our "triple-threat" partner to own the entire user experience, from first Google search to final pixel.

This is Not a Normal Engineering Job

We're not looking for a "cog in a machine." This is a hybrid role for a true product-builder. You are, in effect, our Head of Design, Head of SEO, and Lead Frontend Engineer, all in one.

Your brain will be split 50/50:

• 50% (Product): Designing and building a world-class, fast-as-light application.
• 50% (Growth): Building and optimizing the marketing engine that gets us users.

What You'll Be Doing

On the Product (UI/UX & Frontend):

• Design: Take product ideas and wireframes (from the founder) and turn them into beautiful, simple, and intuitive UI designs in Figma.
• Build (Web): Use SvelteKit to build our fast, responsive, and data-driven web application dashboard.
• Build (Desktop): Use your Svelte components in Tauri to build our lightweight, cross-platform desktop timer.
• Collaborate: Work directly with our backend engineer to integrate with the (Go/Rust) API.
• Obsess: Own the user experience. You'll ensure our app is not just fast, but feels fast, with clean animations, instant loading, and a minimal footprint.

On the Growth (SEO & Marketing):

• Build & Own: You will build and manage our entire marketing website (a SvelteKit site) from scratch.
• Execute SEO: You will write and publish the critical, high-converting "Us vs. Them" comparison pages (e.g., "SaneTrack vs. TimeDoctor").
• Create Content: Manage the company blog, writing high-quality, SEO-focused articles that attract our target customers (agencies, lawyers, freelancers).
• Analyze: You'll live in Google Analytics and our product analytics, understanding what's working (and what's not) and reporting directly to the founder.

We're Looking for Someone Who:

• Is a Strong Frontend Engineer FIRST: You have proven experience building and shipping modern web applications. You're excited by Svelte/SvelteKit (even if your main experience is React/Vue).
• Has a "Designer's Eye": You can prove you have strong UI/UX instincts. You have a portfolio (Figma, Dribbble, or just live sites) that shows you can build clean, beautiful, user-friendly interfaces.
• Is an Excellent Writer: This is non-negotiable. Your ability to write clear, compelling English is the foundation of our SEO and marketing.
• Is a Curious Analyst: You're data-driven and excited to learn what makes a marketing funnel work. You're not scared of Google Analytics.
• Is a True "Builder": You are a disciplined, product-minded self-starter who wants to own a massive piece of a new company.

Bonus Points (We'll Be Really Excited If You):

• Have a personal blog or portfolio that already ranks on Google.
• Have built and shipped a real project with SvelteKit and/or Tauri.
• Have a portfolio of designs in Figma.
• Have run your own side project, agency, or freelance business before.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Build Your "T-Shape": This is a career-defining role. You will become a world-class expert in product engineering, design, and growth marketing.
• Massive Impact: You are a founding member of a 4-person squad. You will have more responsibility and direct impact on a business than 99% of other jobs.
• A Dream Stack: No legacy code. No technical debt. You get to build with SvelteKit, Tauri, and Go/Rust. It's a performance-obsessed stack you can be proud of.
• Direct Access: You'll work directly with the founder. No bureaucracy, no layers of management. Just building and growing.

How to Apply

1. Your CV or a link to your LinkedIn.
2. A link to your GitHub profile.
3. This is the most important part: A link to one website or app you've built (or designed) that you are most proud of, AND a link to one piece of content you've written (a blog post, an article, even a technical doc).
