The social app for edge-of-culture communities
Bloom (formerly Together) is a Y Combinator backed startup based in Oakland, CA on a mission to use software to bring people together. Bloom is a dating community that organizes group dates in parks. Members tell us who they want to meet and then we organize 6-8 person meetups in parks. And, with a strong consent culture and referral-based community, we're the safest place to meet new partners and friends.
The team is Lauren Vegter, Aubrey Tull, and Dan Rhodes. Lauren spent 5 years at Facebook, most recently leading viral user growth for Instagram from 700M to past a billion users in two years. Aubrey has ten years of engineering experience from Stripe, Twilio, and Netflix. Dan is a former YC founder and was the first engineer at Atrium.
We recently launched and are seeing so much demand that we need to add additional engineering support. We are looking for an experienced full-stack engineer who is excited about using software to connect people and joining us on this wild startup adventure. Our app is built in React Native and Typescript running on a Node.js server and PostgreSQL. The role would be a contract to start with potential to convert to full-time. Candidates must be available to start immediately. We are based in Oakland, CA but candidates can live anywhere.
