Alexey Komissarouk has built Growth Engineering organizations for Masterclass and Opendoor. He joins us on this episode and helps break down Growth Engineering as a craft, how to use engineering as a leverage point for growth, and what his obsession is with joining companies going through hyper growth.

Plus he shares the different aspects of creating a Growth Engineering team, how these organizations should be built out over time, and the three ways to find Growth Engineers (hint: find ex-founders).

More highlights include:

  • Stage he joined Opendoor, understanding the business model, and how the growth engineering team started.
  • Learnings from building the growth stack at Masterclass.
  • The best-in-class stack he recommends when walking into a new team / org and the initial problems a Growth Engineer will encounter early-on.
  • Reporting responsibilities and training for Growth Engineers and Product Managers.
  • Discussing customer data platforms (CDP) and their value.
