Growth Engineer

What is Fizz Fizz is the hottest Gen Z social platform in the world. 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.   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. 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.   Where We're Going We 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.   What you’ll be doing We’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, CEO, growth, and monetization teams. You’ll own high-leverage projects across GTM, content management, trust & safety, and monetization, designing systems that eliminate manual work and accelerate our growth. Specifically, your responsibilities will include: • Build 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. • Enable 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. • Turn data into leverage: Own analytics pipelines, dashboards, and reporting. Write SQL queries, track performance metrics, and ensure teams have accurate and actionable insights. • Automate 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. • Requirements 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. • Experiment and ship quickly: Prototype Retool apps or lightweight internal tools while also partnering with engineering to design long-term, production-grade systems. • Be accountable for outcomes: Your work directly impacts Fizz’s ability to expand faster, monetize smarter, and operate more efficiently.   Requirements • 2+ years of experience in software engineering or growth engineering roles • Proven track record of building technical systems or products from 0→1 in fast-paced environments • Strong familiarity with architecting backend stacks and building in cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure) • Exceptional communication skills to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders • Highly data-driven, with the ability to dive deep into analytics while also shaping strategic outcomes • Comfort moving between scrappy prototyping and long-term systems thinking • Strong grasp on the psychology of social products and a passion for building authentic experiences for Gen-Z   This is an onsite role based out of our New York, NY (Soho)
