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.\nWhat We've Done\nWe 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.\nWhere We're Going\nWe 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.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nWe’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, growth, and monetization teams.\nYou’ll own high-leverage projects across GTM, content management, trust & safety, and monetization, designing systems that eliminate manual work and accelerate our growth.\nSpecifically, your responsibilities will include:\nBuild 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 - built as real services with clear data models, APIs, and job pipelines, not one-off scripts.\n\nEnable 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.\n\nTurn data into leverage: Own analytics pipelines, dashboards, and reporting. Write SQL queries, track performance metrics, and ensure teams have accurate and actionable insights.\n\nAutomate 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.\n\nRequirements 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.\n\nExperiment and ship quickly, then make it last: Prototype fast with LLM-driven workflows, then own the path from prototype to production yourself. You should have the judgment to know when a scrappy tool is good enough and when you should rebuilt it as a durable backend system - with real data models, idempotency, monitoring, and error handling.\n\nBe accountable for outcomes: Your work directly impacts Fizz’s ability to expand faster, monetize smarter, and operate more efficiently.\n\nRequirements\n2+ years of experience in backend-heavy software engineering (growth, infra, or product-engineering)\n\nProven track record of building technical systems or products from 0→1 in fast-paced environments\n\nStrong backend fundamentals: data modeling, API design, queues, background jobs, caching - with hands-on experience architecting and operating services in a cloud environment (GCP, AWS, Azure)\n\nExceptional communication skills to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders\n\nHighly data-driven, with the ability to dive deep into analytics while also shaping strategic outcomes\n\nFluent with AI coding tools, and able to read, review, and debug what they produce.\n\nStrong grasp on the psychology of social products and a passion for building authentic experiences for Gen-Z\n\nThe primary technologies we work with are Swift/Kotlin, Node, Google Cloud, BigQuery, MongoDB, and Redis - but no prior experience with these specific technologies is required.\nThis is an onsite role based out of our New York, NY (Soho) office.\nThe targeted compensation range for this role is between $130,000 - $170,000 a year, based on job related skills and experience.\nFizz full-time employees are eligible for company sponsored benefits and equity.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4699,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Social Networks"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T07:26:46Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":0,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":3,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-07T07:57:00+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.502,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":59,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":170000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/fizz-growth-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/fizz-growth-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T10:44:53Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10025,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":674185},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=674185"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffizz-growth-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffizz-growth-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffizz-growth-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/fizz-growth-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffizz-growth-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":800494}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"fizz.social","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":800494},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
