Picnic is a new group chat app, built for close friends (<a href=").
Group chats matter, and they matter more than you might think. For billions of people, they've come to play a vital role in our most important relationships: the space online where our real friendships live. We believe the one-size-fits-all, functional apps where our group chats live today could be so much more. That's why we are on a mission to build a better home for people's favourite group chats: one that is more joyful, more intentional and more ethical.
It's an exceptionally good time to be joining our small but mighty founding team of top engineers from Facebook, Apple, Google and more. We are fresh from raising a £2.1m Seed round led by top tier VCs (announcement coming soon) and are backed by the likes of Robin Dunbar (the man behind Dunbar's number), Snapchat's 1st Engineer and many more world class operators.
We're looking to hire somebody who is comfortable working as a key part of a small team, with experience of having shipped consumer-facing mobile apps. The _Senior_ in our job title does not refer to how many years of experience you have (or your degree!), but to your general approach to development: you are able to think about the system and architecture as a whole, know enough about all aspects of the stack to effectively diagnose issues, and are able to pass your knowledge onto other members of the team.
