Defining Growth Engineering with Alexey Komissarouk (EP25)

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.
