About the job

About Nectar

At Nectar, we are at the forefront of a revolutionary change in how consumers connect with brands. Today's consumers prioritize authentic social interactions over traditional marketing tactics, seeking recommendations from trusted communities and personalized experiences.

We are developing an AI-driven social operating system that facilitates this new commerce landscape. Our mission is to enhance the bond between brands and their audiences, providing real value to both parties. Our AI agents operate in real-time, delivering actionable insights, attributing engagement to revenue, and converting conversations into sales.

Founded by former leaders from Meta, we proudly collaborate with brands like OLIPOP, Hatch, K18, and Little Spoon. After achieving product-market fit last year, we've experienced a remarkable 10x growth and are expanding our team to meet rising demands.

Your Role

  • Core Backend Development: You will design and implement robust backend systems that process high volumes of real-time social data from platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn. Your expertise will help in building strong integrations with third-party APIs, optimizing AI workloads, and scaling our infrastructure.

  • Enhance Operational Excellence: You will focus on improving system reliability, fostering an on-call culture, and advancing our systems as we onboard more clients and manage significantly larger data volumes.

  • Technical Leadership: You will document architecture, influence tool and infrastructure choices, and mentor fellow engineers, promoting a collaborative environment where engineers can contribute across the entire product and infrastructure stack.

Our technology stack includes TypeScript, AWS, Pulumi, Postgres, ClickHouse, and Turbopuffer. We strategically use AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Graphite, v0/Replit, and Granola to streamline our daily operations.
