We’re growing extremely fast! In November 2023 we closed a $6.5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex and Creator Ventures. In 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the iPhone app of the year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built & in 2025 we were acquired by Strava! Our ambition is huge: to become the go-to global leading training platform for millions of runners everywhere. We’re growing with purpose and looking for people who want to build something meaningful with lasting impact. With the recent acquisition by Strava accelerating our journey, now is a really magical time to join. 🚀 THE TEAM YOU'LL JOIN Our Growth Engineering team owns key parts of the user journey into Runna, working across web and app to turn first time visitors into long term, engaged subscribers. You'll collaborate closely with product, design and data partners, as well as our GTM and business development teams, to shape how new users first discover and experience Runna. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING * Architect, build, test and ship high impact user journeys and subscription funnels, focusing on turning curious visitors into engaged subscribers. * Design and run experiments across web and app - onboarding flows, paywalls, plan discovery - to improve conversion at every step. * Work closely with Product, Design and Data to help prioritise opportunities, define success metrics and make decisions grounded in experiment results. * Collaborate across teams to ensure users have a smooth, consistent experience as they move between products and platforms. * Implement and maintain instrumentation, tracking and tooling so we can understand behaviour, spot issues quickly and measure impact. * Own features end-to-end: from early discovery and technical design through to implementation, rollout, monitoring and iteration. * Contribute to our developer experience by improving CI/CD, testing and release workflows so the team can ship and learn quickly. WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM We're looking for people who are strong in some of these areas, not necessarily all of them. If this role excites you, please apply. * Solid TypeScript / JavaScript experience. * Experience building user-facing product surfaces where conversion and UX really matter — onboarding, paywalls, landing pages, growth loops, etc. * React experience (React Native is a bonus, not a requirement). * 2+ years of full stack experience — we value full stack experience more than depth in just one layer. * Comfortable working in a fast paced, iterative environment with lots of experimentation and learning from data. * Able to deliver features end-to-end: from architecture through to rollout, measurement and iteration. * Curious about what didn't work as much as what did. HOW WE WORK We believe great engineering is a team sport. Here's what that looks like in practice: * Iterative development, continuous deployment and test automation. * Knowledge sharing and collaborative design — we build together, not in silos. * Shared ownership of code and outcomes across cross-functional teams. * Psychological safety to experiment, fail, learn and try again. BONUS POINTS These are optional extras, not hidden requirements: * Experience with Swift or Kotlin for mobile. * Experience working on growth, experimentation, or funnel optimisation teams. * Experience with analytics and experimentation tooling (A/B tests, feature flags, etc). OUR TECH STACK Here's what we work with. You won't need all of it on day one. Frontend * React or React Native (iOS and Android) * TypeScript * GraphQL (Apollo Client) Backend * Node.js * Serverless (AWS) — Lambdas, SQS, DynamoDB, EventBridge, S3 Tools & Platforms * Sentry, GitHub Actions * Mixpanel, Intercom, RevenueCat * App Store Connect / Play Store * Google Tag Manager, Snowflake SALARY AND BENEFITS We’re offering a salary of £70,00-£78,000 per year, depending on experience, plus participation in Strava's long-term incentive (stock) programs. Overview of our benefits is below:We’re also committed to continually evolving our benefits to support you as we grow. Here is a brief overview what we currently offer in the UK 🇬🇧 * 💪 Flexible working — typically 3 days a week in our Vauxhall office, with flexibility around life commitments. * 🏝️ 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. * 🏥 Private health insurance (Bupa) and workplace pension scheme. * 📚 Modern Health — mental wellness platform combining therapy, coaching and self guided programmes. * 🥕 Carrot Fertility — inclusive fertility, hormonal health and family forming support. We want everyone to feel supported in building their family, whatever that looks like. * 😌 Headspace membership for mindfulness and sleep. * 💵 Annual budget for gear, events and gym. * 💳 Free Runna and Strava subscriptions for you and 3 friends. Please see more info on our amazing benefits here: Benefits at Runna OUR INTERVIEW PROCESS WE AIM TO MAKE THIS AS CLEAR AND LOW-STRESS AS POSSIBLE. HERE'S WHAT TO EXPECT: * Screening call with our Talent team (30 minutes, video call). * Getting to Know You + Live Coding (45 minutes — 15 mins intro chat, then a short coding exercise. This is designed to be conversational, not a test to catch you out. We use an accessible problem from leetcode.com and talk through our thinking together). * Take home technical task (feel free to use AI tools as part of your normal workflow). * Technical interview (1.5 hours — first half on general full-stack questions, second half is a system design exercise based on a real problem our team has worked on at Runna). * Meet the team (in-person at our Vauxhall office with founders and the wider team). Runna is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We particularly encourage applications from groups that are underrepresented in engineering, including women, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ people. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to better accommodate you throughout the interview process - this can be from scheduling interviews around childcare commitments to accessibility requirements. We want you to show your best self in the process, so please speak to your Talent Partner

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TEAM: * Solid experience as a full stack engineer (ideally 3+ years), comfortable working across frontend and backend. * Strong TypeScript/JavaScript skills and experience with modern frontend frameworks (for example React / React Native). * Hands‑on experience integrating and maintaining marketing technology such as: * Analytics and product analytics tools. * Mobile / web attribution. * Tag managers and event tracking. * CRM or lifecycle platforms (email, push, in‑app messaging). * Comfort working closely with non‑engineering partners (marketing, product, data) and translating business goals into technical solutions. * A bias towards experimentation and iteration – you care about impact and learning fast. * Strong ownership mindset: you’re happy to take a problem from idea to shipped, monitored solution. * Good understanding of event tracking, data quality and debugging issues across multiple platforms and tools. BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE: * Experience with mobile growth and attribution (for example RevenueCat, app store / play store tooling, mobile attribution providers). * Previous experience in a product‑led or consumer subscription business. * Experience with experimentation platforms and A/B testing. * Familiarity with AWS or another major cloud provider and modern CI/CD practices. * Experience working in or closely with a Growth / Marketing team.
