Company info
- We're living through a fundamental shift in how people discover, evaluate, and purchase products. The next generation doesn't respond to traditional marketing. They build relationships with brands through authentic social interactions, seek recommendations from communities they trust, and expect personalized experiences that feel human, not corporate.
- At Nectar Social, we're building the AI-native social operating system that enables this new era of commerce. We believe every social interaction should deepen the relationship between brands and their communities while creating genuine value for both sides.
- Founded by ex-Meta product and engineering leaders, we've raised over $40M in total capital from investors including GV and True Ventures. We work with brands like Oura Health, Caraway, e.l.f. Cosmetics, Kosas, OLIPOP, and many more. We're building the future of social commerce, where community, conversation, and commerce converge.
- The Role
- Contribute to product strategy by identifying patterns across customer feedback, usage data, and engineering insight that product alone might miss
- Establish and refine engineering processes including sprint planning, on-call, incident response, and operational excellence
- Contribute to hiring by sourcing, interviewing, and closing strong engineering talent
