About the role

BFF is a platform for finding friends and building communities online - and bringing those connections into real life. We provide a rich suite of tools that empower users to discover communities, connect meaningfully, and organize IRL gatherings. Simply put: find your people online, get together offline.

Plans is an IRL platform for meeting you people. Sign up and get invited to events. The Plans platform then matches users into small groups optimized for compatibility. Simply put: meet first, match later.

As a member of the BFF/Plans backend team, you’ll play a key role in building and scaling the services that power this experience. You’ll work across TypeScript and Go, developing and maintaining GraphQL/REST APIs to serve millions of users. This is a high-impact role with real product influence - you’ll collaborate closely with product, design, and outreach teams to shape features from concept to launch.

If you’re someone who loves building systems that scale, shaping product direction, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver world-class user experiences, you’ll thrive here.
