Picnic

Picnic is a supercharged group chat app, built for friends. Today's messaging apps are doing the bare minimum for friendship. At Picnic, we believe there is huge untapped potential. We are building a 10X better way to spend 'in-between time' with friends, based on the science of friendship. We are a small team with excellent experience in consumer social based out of London, UK (currently working remotely due to COVID-19). With backing from leading social health experts and a host of world class advisors and investors, we are on a mission to make the world better friends. We are looking for full-stack developers who love creating products that people want to use. You understand that apps—and code—are for people, not for computers, and always strive to make our app and codebase more understandable and easy to use. You'll be helping to build an app using the latest best practices targeting the iOS, Android, and the web. We're using TypeScript across the stack, React with MobX client-side, an event-sourced architecture using PostgreSQL and Redis server-side, and GraphQL for type-safe communication between the two. We've written a detailed summary of our stack and workflow in the document linked below, so that you can get a quick overview of whether working with us could excite you. We've taken care to make our hiring process as transparent and stress-free as possible. We won't do any whiteboard / algorithm tests, and you'll be paid for any take-home test we ask you to complete. We aim to give honest feedback after any interview, so that the process is not a waste of time for you even if the role is not a fit for you for whatever reason. We are looking to hire this person to start July 6th 2020.
