Build your career as a Growth Hacker
Projects where the funnel is the engagement: acquisition that does not scale, activation that drops and retention that leaks. Shakers connects you with teams holding a live product that needs to grow with method.
Growth in Spain lives between training and in-house teams: plenty of courses and schools, few role pages for the by-project engagement. Here the cycle arrives with the metric written and the scope defined.
This is not a training route: it is what gets experimented on a real product, what you must prove and where your log stays.
- Higher-paying projects
- More continuity between projects
- Greater recognition for your experience

Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

Alejandro
AI Developer
“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Join ShakersWhat a Growth Hacker experiments with every week
A Growth Hacker grows a product with the scientific method: funnel hypotheses, experiments with a period and a sample, and metrics that decide whether to scale or kill. Working by project they run growth on demand: channels, activation and retention, with automation and analytics.
Their boundary: the Growth Engineer is the same craft under the emerging title of employment; the technical profile combines marketing, code and data.
You prioritise the backlog by impact and effort, run the cycle with a sufficient sample and write the decision: scale, pivot or kill. You also decide what does not get experimented on: a hypothesis with no metric goes back with an argument. The method is yours; the result is the proof.

What a Growth Hacker delivers at Shakers
The map with leaks
The funnel measured stretch by stretch: acquisition, activation and retention with numbers. The first thing you deliver is where it hurts.
The prioritised backlog
Experiments ordered by impact and effort, with the hypothesis written: the team knows what comes next and why.
The cycle run
The first complete experiment with result and decision: the method installed, not promised.
An experiment log
Hypothesis, metric, result and decision of each cycle: practice gets demonstrated with the notebook, not with adjectives.
Code and data
SQL, dashboards and automation: the experiment gets implemented, not delegated whole to the development team.
Result communication
The committee understands your experiment in one slide: what got tested, what was learned and what gets scaled.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does a Growth Hacker do by project?
They run growth per engagement: funnel map, experiment backlog, channels and activation with metrics that decide. One cycle, one hypothesis, one measured result.
Are Growth Hacker and Growth Engineer the same?
Yes: three spellings (hacker, marketer, engineer), one craft. Emerging employment titles it engineer because the stack asks for code and data; your profile wins with the experiment log, not the label.
Growth or SEO: which engagement is mine?
Growth experiments across the whole funnel; SEO builds sustained organic arrival. Many engagements need both, with the boundary written in the metric each one answers.
How much to charge as a contract Growth Hacker?
The mechanism marks it: product maturity, number of channels, analytics stack and cycle length. Public references do not square with each other; your budget closes per engagement.
Is there enough growth engagement in Spain by project?
The signal is double: 176 growth professionals already work the formula in the marketplace, and n8n, Booksy, Amenitiz and HappyRobot hire Growth Engineers in 2026 (n=31,957, Spain, September 2026).
How do I get in without a contact network?
By getting certified: the process certifies your practice and the collective brings the engagements. Your work is showing experiments with real consequences; matching each cycle is ours.
The daily shape of the craft
The funnel split into three stretches with measured leaks, the experiment backlog nobody prioritises and the panic of the flat metric before the committee. Less fireworks, more cycles with a log.
Hacker, marketer or engineer: pick your spelling
Buyers ask for a growth hacker, the emerging job title says Growth Engineer and marketer is the editorial form. What leads your profile is the log: experiments with hypothesis, result and decision written down.
What it is not
You are not an ads manager or a community manager with another name: you answer for measured growth. If the engagement is holding organic arrival, that boundary has a row of its own.
Who you share the funnel with
A growth cycle does not live alone: whoever decides the product and whoever measures the data cross your path in every engagement.
Product Manager
Whoever decides what gets built: growth experiments on the product the PM prioritises. The natural pair of the build-measure-learn cycle.
Data Analyst
The analytics that hold each hypothesis: cohorts, funnels and attribution. When the experiment asks for depth, their row joins.
Frontend Developer
The variants and onboarding each experiment needs: A/B tests and landing pages with no development queue.
UX/UI Designer
When the leak is in the interface and not in the channel: their row redesigns the flow that you then measure.
AI Engineer
The agents that automate nurture and reporting: the copilot of the growth cycle you direct, on foundation models.
Boundaries between these roles get agreed per project: the job title does not set them.
