What is Fizz
Fizz is the dominant social platform for Gen-Z to connect with their immediate communities. Each Fizz community has a private and moderated feed of anonymous posts, authored by verified students at their school, providing the most entertaining, relatable, and interesting conversations about student life.
Students can post questions, memes, polls, and chat with other verified students while maintaining control over their identity and privacy. Fizz communities prioritize safety, authenticity, and inclusion through community-based moderation.
Founded by two Stanford dropouts, Fizz is currently expanding across colleges and high schools across the US with a mission to redefine the "social network" in a time when legacy platforms lack authenticity and are filled with curated highlight reels.
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. We raised a 25M Series B in July 2023 and have established ourselves as the dominant community platform at 250+ colleges.
Where we're going
Our vision for Fizz is to develop the Fizz product to become the preferred community platform for Gen-Z, both while students are in college and beyond. Our team prioritizes ownership, swift adaptability, and rapid design iterations driven by real user feedback.
We are looking for candidates with at least 2 years of full-time software engineering or technical product management experience who are passionate about being an early employee and want to help drive our company forward.
Responsibilities
Qualifications
Compensation for this role is between 120,000 - 180,000 per year, depending on job related skills and experience. At Fizz, full-time employees are eligible to receive company sponsored benefits and stock options.
This is an onsite role based out of our NYC office.
