GrowCap | Hybrid (Remote-friendly) | $140k–160k + Meaningful Equity About GrowCap GrowCap provides non-dilutive, revenue-based financing to mobile game studios to fund user acquisition. We are based in downtown Toronto. We’re pre‑seed, closing our first deals, and building the data foundation that powers underwriting, forecasting, and portfolio risk. This is our first technical data hire, you’ll design the system that becomes our moat. What You’ll Build Core Data Pipelines Ingest data from MMPs (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Singular), app stores (Apple, Google), and ad networks (Meta, Google, TikTok, AppLovin) Transform raw data into underwriting signals: cohort LTV, CAC, retention curves, payback periods Build decision‑grade dashboards for the underwriting team (Looker) Automated checks for UA manipulation, bot traffic, and fake installs Cohort red flags: retention cliffs, revenue anomalies, suspicious patterns Multi‑source reconciliation to surface inconsistencies across platforms Infrastructure & Platform Data warehouse: BigQuery, Orchestration: Prefect or Airflow, Transformations: dbt Monitoring & alerting for portfolio and risk signals This is a high impact role with meaningful upside. You build it, you own it, you scale it. What We’re Looking For Must‑Have Experience with data warehouses (BigQuery or Snowflake), Orchestration experience (Prefect or Airflow) Startup mindset: ship fast, iterate, build around blockers Nice‑to‑Have Mobile gaming, ad tech, or attribution platform experience Fintech, lending, or risk / fraud exposure dbt, Looker or up-to-date BI tools How We Work First pipeline ships in Week 1,



not Week 6 AI coding tools encouraged (Claude, Cursor) High ownership You own technical decisions Full autonomy to figure things out We unblock you, not micromanage you Real problems Messy APIs Requirements evolve as we learn You’ll handle it Why This Role Impact: The data infrastructure you build determines whether we can underwrite confidently and scale fast. Team: We are a small team of experienced operators and founders with multiple exits. We are well capitalized, connected, and poised for growth. Support: There is no bureaucracy here. If you need an API key, a tool, or a decision, you get it immediately. Your job is to build. Our job is to remove friction. Ownership: You own the data platform. Not a cog in a 50‑person team. Domain: Mobile gaming is fascinating and fun. You will learn cohort economics, LTV modeling, UA fraud patterns. Not boring enterprise SaaS. Timing: Pre‑seed = meaningful equity. First technical hire = shape the culture. Product‑market fit proven = real customers, not theory. Growth: In 6 months, you will be hiring a team around you. In 12 months, you will have built our competitive moat. Compensation Meaningful equity (2–5%) Remote‑friendly / hybrid Laptop + home office setup How to Apply Email us with: Resume or LinkedIn profile A short description of a production data pipeline you built (tools, outcomes, problems solved) Your favourite game and why We reply within 48 hours and move fast if there's a fit. This is a startup: Messy, fast‑moving, high risk/reward. Not a cushy job with free lunch If you want real impact and real equity, let’s talk. #J-18808-Ljbffr
