Nectar Social (https://www.nectarsocial.com) | Software Engineer, Product Designer, Product Manager | Palo Alto, CA | Onsite | Full-time Hi HN. I am an Engineering Manager at Nectar Social, and we're hiring across product, design and engineering. The traditional playbook of buying ads on social media platforms no longer works for most brands. Buyers make purchasing decisions from organic conversations on social media platforms like Instagram, Reddit, X, and LinkedIn. Nectar listens to conversations in real time, surfaces actionable insights, attributes engagement to revenue, and drives conversions. We came out of stealth last year and we are on a fast growth trajectory working with brands like OLIPOP, Hatch, K18, and Little Spoon. The company is ~30 FTEs and has many interesting challenges: 1. We ingest data from major social media which brings scaling and performance problems 2. We run AI agents on the content which requires us to control cost and optimize quality 3. We need to present lots of information about social conversations in an understandable way which requires good design. 4. We need to build resilient systems that can work within the constraints of our third party dependencies. Our tech stack is React, Typescript, AWS, Pulumi, Postgres, Clickhouse and Turbopuffer. We use AI tools thoughtfully to optimize our daily work - Cursor, Claude Code, Graphite, v0 / Replit, and Granola. The roles we are hiring for: - Staff Backend Engineer - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/nectar-social/e5797dfd-275e-4a7a-b9... - Staff Product Engineer - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/nectar-social/2f942c62-bc21-41a2-ae... - Founding Mobile Engineer (React Native) - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/nectar-social/192caa1d-8f36-472f-b9... - Senior Product Designer - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/nectar-social/673bbd54-9a3b-4478-84... - Senior Product Manager - https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/nectar-social/b63c6254-df3d-406e-83...
