Job Requirements / Description

About 222:

We’re an early stage startup working on building the future of social. We are not excited about a future where humans spend the majority of their day in a virtual world. By facilitating genuine human connections IRL, we're building a product that swings the pendulum in the other direction.

We’re backed by a world-class set of investors including General Catalyst, Y Combinator (W23), Upfront Ventures, NEA, Jaegermeister, 1517 Fund, Cory Levy (Z Fellows), the Founder of Dropbox (Arash Ferdowsi), the Founder of On Deck (Julian Weisser) & more.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You will be joining 222 as an early full-time engineering hire - spearheading all things web development, back-end APIs, & automation. You’ll be working directly with the early engineer team to scale our back-end, enhance our front-end web applications, and to be part of a growing world-class engineering team.

Who You Are:

You’re passionate about solving the problem 222 is tackling.
You have experience building web apps in React/Next JS.
You have experience working with Python Fast API.
You have experience working with PostgreSQL.
Bonus: You’ve built and shipped an Android app.
You have experience scaling the backend/infrastructure of a live software product.
You have a strong stance on the ethics surrounding user psychology in social products.
Regardless of personal experience, you’re excited about wearing different hats across front-end engineering, back-end engineering, & architecture.
Demonstrated history of building outside of work/school (projects/products, applications, music, art, etc.).

Skills & Tools:

Back-end development: Python (Flask/Fast-API), PostgreSQL.
Front-end web development: React/Next JS, HTML/CSS/Javascript, Node.
Bonus: familiarity with shipping Android apps either natively or in React Native.
