About Nectar Social

Nectar is your AI-powered social teammate: managing communities, listening in real time, and tracking influencers to turn engagement into measurable growth. Backed by GV and Menlo.

About the role

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to build and scale Nectar’s core product experiences and platform. You'll work across the full stack from the backend infrastructure that ingests and processes large volumes of social data, to the product interfaces that help brands understand, manage, and respond to social conversations using AI.

What they're looking for

  • Strong engineering experience designing, building, and operating production systems — backend, frontend, or full-stack
  • Deep understanding of system design, distributed systems, and scalable architecture
  • Experience building reliable data pipelines on top of external APIs, or building complex, data-rich web applications using React
  • Strong user empathy and product intuition when designing and building features
  • Experience mentoring engineers and shaping engineering culture
  • Curiosity about how AI is changing software development and interest in AI-assisted engineering workflows
More about this role

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 $30M 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.
