Staff Software Engineer

ABOUT NECTAR

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, 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. Our AI agents listen in real time, surface actionable insights, attribute engagement to revenue, and turn conversations into conversions.

Founded by ex-Meta product and engineering leaders, we work with brands like OLIPOP, Hatch, K18, Little Spoon, and many more. We hit product-market fit last year and are on a fast growth trajectory – the business has grown 10x in the past year, and we're hiring to keep up with customer demand.

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.

This role combines deep engineering with technical leadership. Whether you lean more toward backend systems or product/frontend, you'll shape architectural decisions, raise the quality bar across the codebase, and help establish strong engineering practices as the team and platform scale.

Our tech stack is TypeScript, React, Shadcn, Zustand, AWS, Pulumi, Postgres, ClickHouse, and Turbopuffer. We use AI tools thoughtfully in our day-to-day work – Cursor, Claude Code, Graphite, and Granola.
