ABOUT POSH We are all social creatures, but the dominant “social” companies today have evolved into digital loneliness machines, driving isolation, anxiety, and mental health challenges around the world. Human connection is lost. Posh is a beacon guiding us back. Posh enables anyone to build an IRL community based on shared interests, while connecting consumers with the communities of people just like them. Founded by event organizers who were frustrated with the growing loneliness epidemic and the tools available to build their own event brand, we’ve built the ultimate platform for launching, monetizing, and finding IRL communities of people just like you. In just 6 years, Posh has grown to a team of 70, expanded to 8M+ users, secured $70m in venture funding, and facilitated over $350M in transactions.

Your work will span across 2 core teams: - Platform: Owning observability/incident response, backend services, notifications, authentication/permission systems, localization, and experimentation infrastructure to optimize reliability and empower user-facing teams to create novel technical innovations - Internal Operations: blurring the lines between product, GTM, marketing, and operations to empower teams with software tooling that accelerates their goals This role reports to the CEO, wor
