About the role

Fizz is hiring a Product Designer who will own design end-to-end across every surface, feature, and market. This is a high-ownership role at a consumer social app built for Gen Z, where how something feels is just as important as what it does. We're looking for someone with exceptional taste, a deep intuition for what feels fun and culturally alive to young users, and the rigor to see every design through to its last edge case.

What they're looking for

  • A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional taste — specifically for consumer mobile products that feel fun, alive, and native to how young people use their phones
  • Deep experience designing for Gen Z, you have an intuitive sense of what's cool, what's cringe, and what's going to land
  • Strong consumer social background — you've designed for feeds, reactions, sharing, notifications, or other social mechanics at scale
  • Obsessive attention to detail — the kind of person who notices a misaligned pixel in a shipped build and can't let it go
  • A structured design process—you explore multiple directions, articulate tradeoffs, and design every state, flow, and edge case
  • Low ego around your work — you can separate attachment to a specific solution from commitment to the best outcome, and you make the people around you better at making decisions
More about this role

Fizz is the hottest Gen Z social platform in the world. Having started as America’s biggest college social app, Fizz now enables Gen Z globally to connect around shared experiences and identities. College Fizz communities feature a private, moderated feed of posts from verified students, making it the most entertaining and authentic way to experience student life.

Our newest product, Global Fizz, brings together Gen Z both domestically and internationally, providing a space to connect around the 99% of life not represented on entertainment platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Fizz is on a mission to bring social back to social media.

We first launched Fizz at Stanford in July 2021 and have since seen >95% of undergraduates join the app, half of whom use Fizz every day. Since raising a $25M Series B in July 2023, we have established ourselves as the dominant social app across 700+ colleges, begun generating revenue through advertising, and started expanding beyond college communities.

Most recently, Fizz reached #1 overall on the App Store charts in Saudi Arabia.
