The Nudge
The Nudge is building a social platform that empowers people to take advantage of their free time and do cool things in the real world.
Nearly half of female Millennials + Gen Z use The Nudge in our main cities, and we’re the #1 influence on how they spend their free time. We're a Series A startup, well-funded by top-tier consumer VCs, including Lightspeed Venture Partners & Goodwater Capital.
We’re in an exciting chapter for the company: executing an aggressive product roadmap to become more socially-driven, with plans to scale across the globe. Our mission is to become the one-stop-shop for planning your free time, because life is short and it’s too damn easy to be lazy!
The Nudge team lives the mission, and we come from world class tech (Apple, Google, Meta) and consumer (Glossier, The Infatuation) backgrounds. We’re looking for people who want to work their 🍑 off with an inspired team, move incredibly fast, and put their name on this company. Sound like something worth dedicating your precious time to? Then we can’t wait to meet you.
The role
We're looking for smart, motivated generalists who can contribute across our stack and who like to ship things quickly. We have a website, an iOS app, an Android app, and some complex backend infrastructure. We have a lot to build in every part of our stack.
What you’ll own
- Write and ship new application features on all our platforms
- Work with modern technologies — React, React Native, Scala, etc.
- Work closely with other engineers, designers, and company leadership
- Ship quickly — we deploy multiple times per day and value rapid iteration with users
- Wear whatever hats needed to make the business succeed — we're a small team
Who you are
- Bachelors degree in CS or equivalent demonstrated ability
- Strong CS fundamentals
- Fluent in common data structures & algorithms
- Good technical communications skills, both verbal and written
- A willingness to work hard as part of a team and learn new things quickly
- Bonus: Experience with web or mobile application development
