About us

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 recently raised $10.6M in funding co-led by GV (Google Ventures) and True Ventures. We're building the future of social commerce—where community, conversation, and commerce converge.

The Role

We're seeking a talented Software Engineer to help build the technical foundation of social commerce. You'll work on cutting-edge AI systems, real-time data processing, and scalable platforms that handle millions of social interactions while maintaining the performance and reliability that our customers depend on.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own Major Features: Take full responsibility for planning, development, testing, and release of core product capabilities

• Innovate at Speed: Move fast and break barriers—without compromising on security or performance

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product, design, and engineering to deliver on our product roadmap and shape our platform

• Leverage Our Tech Stack: Build solutions using Node.js, React, AWS, GCP, OpenAI, and more

• Scale AI Systems: Develop robust infrastructure for AI agents, real-time social listening, and revenue attribution

What We're Looking For

• Proven Track Record: You've built fast, secure, and reliable cloud/web applications in a production environment

• Quality & Stability: You're familiar with automated testing, observability, and monitoring best practices—and you integrate them into your workflow

• Autonomy & Ownership: You thrive in ambiguous situations and have the confidence to tackle large projects independently, from design to deployment

• AI/ML Experience: Understanding of LLMs, APIs, and building AI-powered applications at scale

• Startup Mindset: Comfortable with rapid iteration, changing requirements, and wearing multiple hats

Bonus Points

• Experience with social media APIs (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter)

• Background in e-commerce platforms, payment processing, or customer data systems

• Previous startup experience, especially in AI, social tech, or commerce

• Open source contributions or side projects in relevant technologies

• Experience with real-time data processing and high-volume messaging systems

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and significant equity package

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with 401(k) matching

• Opportunity to build foundational technology at a fast-growing, well-funded startup

• Work alongside experienced founders with deep Meta and product expertise
