- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Compensation:** $120k–$170k
- **Employment:** full-time

## Job description

What is Fizz

Fizz is the hottest Gen Z social platform in the world. Having started as America’s biggest college social app, Fizz is now allowing Gen Z globally to connect around their shared experiences and identities. College Fizz communities feature a private, moderated feed of posts from verified students, making it the most entertaining and authentic way to experience student life. Our newest product, Global Fizz, brings together all of Gen Z both domestically and abroad, providing a space to satisfy the 99% of life not on entertainment platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Fizz is on a mission to bring social back to social media.

## What We've Done

We first launched Fizz at Stanford in July 2021 and have since seen >95% of undergraduates join the app, half of which use Fizz every day. Since raising a $25M Series B in July 2023, we have established ourselves as the dominant social app at 700+ colleges, have begun to generate revenue through advertising, and are actively expanding to communities beyond college. Most recently, Fizz hit #1 overall on the App Store charts in Saudi Arabia.

Where We're Going

We have three primary goals for 2026: continue our expansion to the entire US college market, drive revenue growth through our revolutionary ads business, and rapidly expand to non-college students — both domestically and abroad.

## What you’ll be doing

We’re seeking a Growth Engineer to build the systems and automations that power Fizz’s expansion, monetization, and operational efficiency. In this role, you’ll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market — working directly with our Head of Product, CTO, CEO, growth, and monetization teams.

You’ll own high-leverage projects across GTM, content management, trust & safety, and monetization, designing systems that eliminate manual work and accelerate our growth.

Specifically, your responsibilities will include:

- Build systems that drive growth: Design and maintain the internal tools, workflows, and automations that power Fizz’s GTM engine, from onboarding flows to campus launch execution.
- Enable operational excellence: Collaborate with ops and trust & safety teams to identify recurring issues, ship quick fixes, and deliver scalable solutions that improve efficiency and reduce pain points.
- Turn data into leverage: Own analytics pipelines, dashboards, and reporting. Write SQL queries, track performance metrics, and ensure teams have accurate and actionable insights.
- Automate the unglamorous stuff: From internal content workflows to systems that manage performance of 500+ Instagram page managers on campus, take on critical but messy challenges that unlock scalability.
- Requirements shaping: You don’t just wait for specs — you proactively talk to ops, growth, and product teams to uncover problems, scope opportunities, and define what should be built.
- Experiment and ship quickly: Prototype Retool apps or lightweight internal tools while also partnering with engineering to design long-term, production-grade systems.
- Be accountable for outcomes: Your work directly impacts Fizz’s ability to expand faster, monetize smarter, and operate more efficiently.

## Requirements

- 2+ years of experience in software engineering or growth engineering roles
- Proven track record of building technical systems or products from 0→1 in fast-paced environments
- Strong familiarity with architecting backend stacks and building in cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure)
- Exceptional communication skills to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Highly data-driven, with the ability to dive deep into analytics while also shaping strategic outcomes
- Comfort moving between scrappy prototyping and long-term systems thinking
- Strong grasp on the psychology of social products and a passion for building authentic experiences for Gen-Z

This is an onsite role based out of our New York, NY (Soho) office.

The primary technologies we work with are Swift, Node, Google Cloud, BigQuery, Mixpanel, and Retool, but prior experience with these specific technologies is not required.

The targeted compensation range for this role is between $120,000 - $170,000 a year, based on job related skills and experience.

Fizz full-time employees are eligible for company sponsored benefits and equity.

## About Fizz

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Fizz is a private, authenticated social networking platform that connects college students with their hyperlocal campus communities through anonymous posts, feeds, and a marketplace.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B; latest SAFE investment with a $200M valuation cap)
- **Headquarters**: New York, NY, USA (primary office at 584 Broadway; also has an office in Palo Alto, CA)
- **Founded**: 2020
- **Founders**: Ashton Cofer (Co-Founder & CTO) and Teddy Solomon (Co-Founder & CEO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Social networking platforms
- Target customers: B2C – college and university students (currently 800+ campuses onboarded, 1M+ US users)
- Mission or purpose statement: “Redefine the definition of a true social network” by creating safe, authentic, hyperlocal communities, starting with college.

## Products & Services
- **Fizz App**: A mobile social platform (iOS) where verified students can post anonymously, share photos/videos/polls/confessions, scroll a “for you” feed, and buy/sell items via an in-app marketplace. Features include community-based moderation and direct messaging.
- **Fizz Advertising**: Branded polls, native app takeovers, in-feed ads, and audience targeting (by campus, state, college tier, age, etc.). Early advertisers include Sony Pictures, Amazon, Perplexity, Kalshi, Quizlet, and Cerca.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: $200M valuation cap on the most recent SAFE investment (date undisclosed; ~2026). Not publicly traded.
- **Key Metric**: Annual Revenue ~$4.5M (estimated); Total Funding ~$42.25M ($41.5M per Tracxn).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: New Enterprise Associates (led Series A), Owl Ventures (led Series B), Rakesh Mathur (led Seed), and an undisclosed strategic round with celebrities, creators, and tech execs.
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - 75 employees (+5.5% YoY); headcount is growing despite slight monthly dip.
  - 2.2M+ global downloads, 1M+ monthly active users, ~50% daily active usage.
  - Expanded internationally to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in early 2026; average user age in Middle East is 25.
  - Revenue positive (first time for a free social platform); building out ad sales team.
  - Hired Andrew Zalk (ex-Flipboard) as Head of Business Solutions to scale advertising.
  - Planning to expand beyond college in the US by 2027.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Authentic hyperlocal focus**: Verified .edu email login ensures a trusted, campus-specific community – reminiscent of early Facebook.
- **Privacy & moderation**: Anonymous posting with full identity control and a combination of AI + human moderators. Rated 18+ on App Store (no high schoolers).
- **Engagement moat**: Strong daily active usage (50% of active users every day) and virality within college networks.
- **Advertiser appeal**: Direct access to Gen Z in a brand-safe, authenticated environment with granular targeting; already attracting major entertainment, AI, and finance brands.

## Strategic Focus
- **Advertising revenue**: Scaling the ad sales team and account management to turn Fizz into a sustainable advertising business (currently generating revenue).
- **Global expansion**: Deepening presence in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) and piloting subscription plans for that region.
- **Beyond college**: Preparing to launch Fizz for the broader post-graduate “real world” in 2027, targeting users aged 18–30+.
- **Product evolution**: Experimenting with direct messaging features, subscription tiers, and new user behaviors (e.g., using the platform for local discovery in cities).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Mission-driven team of ~75 people working to “make social media social again” – fast-paced, startup environment with roots at Stanford.
- **Office & flexibility**: HQ in New York City (584 Broadway) and a Palo Alto office; likely hybrid/remote-friendly given small team and engineering roles (lead iOS engineer, etc.).
- **Growth opportunities**: Early-stage company with aggressive expansion plans (ad sales, global markets, new verticals) – employees can shape a product that could become the next major social network.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: Work on a high-traffic consumer app (2.2M+ downloads); engineering team is small but impactful; founder-led with deep product involvement.
- **Active hiring**: Currently recruiting a User Acquisition Manager; frequent past hires from top universities and companies like Starbucks, Target, and Deloitte.
