Software Engineer @ Buffer for the Growth team
We're hiring a Senior Growth Engineer at Buffer. This role caught my attention — growth engineering has one of the tightest feedback loops in tech. You build a referral flow, run an A/B test, ship something — and know quickly if it worked. That's rare.
As the year winds down, what’s the one thing you are looking forward to the new year?
Last working week of the year, and it was all about Customer Experience Week. I joined the Product Changelog team—a cross-functional effort to build an integrated changelog right inside Buffer.
This week was all about clearing the decks and getting ready for next week's company-wide CX Week—four days dedicated to polishing the product before Buffer's busy January.
Wrapped up a focused week getting everything ready to test how surfacing recommended times as posting schedules impacts user activation. 📅 Recommended times now visible in Queue and Calendar views — setting up the treatment group experience for our upcoming experiment
Buffer turned 15 yesterday 🥳 I've been here for almost 5 years now — nearly a third of the company's entire existence. It's also the longest I've ever been at any company. That's wild to think about. In that time:
After a few weeks focusing on refactors, this week we have been working on improvements to our Posting Times experience while squashing some sneaky bugs along the way.
We're hiring a Senior Engineer for Growth Marketing at Buffer! This role is all about building the technical foundation for how creators find us — think referral systems, localization, interactive tools, and the experimentation workflows that help us learn what actually works.
Another week of refactor, and shipping bug fixes 🐛 ⚡ Contributed to the team-wide Node 22 upgrade across all services - great collaborative effort from the whole engineering team to keep our infrastructure modern and secure 🚀 Worked on a new welcome banner to improve first-time user experience
Staying consistent with replies is actually making a difference! 📈 Got my first "Community Champion" badge with an 85/100 comment score in Buffer's new Community feature. Turns out responding to comments isn't just good etiquette—it's measurably boosting my engagement.
Week of shipping, learning, and reflecting 🤔 This week was packed with meaningful progress building for a new experiment, continue with infrastructure cleanup, and celebrating the launch of buffer.com/community. So proud of what the team built 👏
Wrapping up a shorter (but productive!) week at @buffer.com! Despite it being a shorter week with Monday's bank holiday and juggling work while one of my kids was home sick 🤒 , I'm grateful for the meaningful progress we made:
This was a really fun project to work on. Dark Mode Has Arrived at @Buffer 🧛🏼
We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer (Frontend) to join our newly formed Value-Led Growth team and help shape how Buffer grows through genuine customer value.
When was the last time your calendar was completely free, allowing you to finally finish those projects that have been nearly done at 80%? ✌🏼
True PTO happens when the only thing you need to worry about is what form of potato you’d like to eat at the buffet 🤔🥔
If AI-generated content becomes indistinguishable from human-created posts, does authenticity matter, or is the value elsewhere? Would you want to know if something is AI-generated, or do you care only if it's valuable? What makes content 'real' to you in 2025?
We’re building a new public API to make integrating Buffer’s social media tools into your workflows easier than ever! 🎉 With a more extensible, developer-friendly API; we’re making it easier than ever to build custom solutions on top of Buffer. 🔗 Get early access: buffer.com/developer-api
As a full remote worker, what’s the one thing you miss from an office setup?
The new BIBE environments is a simple shift which has made a big difference for me this last month: No big overhaul — just one tiny adjustment to my workflow with great results. Learn more here: lnkd.in/dDCRcS8f
We don't say this very often but... We are hiring for 3 Engineering Positions! Join the team in rebuilding several key parts of our product: launching a new public API, reimagining the content creation experience, and building a deeper AI integration.
Summer remote work with kids: 🌅 6am focus sessions 🏊 Split workday around pool breaks School season = compressed intensity Summer = split rhythm + breathing room Only possible because @buffer.bsky.social provides this flexibility - grateful for it 🙏 #RemoteWork #FlexibleWork
This week, we proactively reached out to paying customers who have stopped using our product. We are cancelling their plans. Simple as that. Doing the right thing.
I'm dusting off the tennis racket! 🎾 With the next @Buffer retreat on the horizon, and my kids in their own classes, it's the time to get back and shake off the rust. My goal is to have some fun rallies the same way we did this year with Padel #retreat @thedarcypeters.bsky.social
Talk about an upgrade! 🚀 Our switch from Jira to Linear at @Buffer has been nothing short of transformative. Seriously, task management feels significantly faster now, and it's not just the raw speed of the application itself.
Remember that feature you used to love but secretly wished worked better? Well, we listened to your feedback! Meet (again!) Channel Groups - your old organizational buddy just got a major life coach session.
