📱 Mobile Product Engineer (LA)

LOS ANGELES, CA /ENGINEERING /FULL-TIME/ HYBRID

Vision and Product

Partiful's mission is to cultivate friendships through social events.

We believe parties (and other social events) are the most effective way to meet new people and make friends. We want to make it easier to plan these events and coordinate with groups, creating more opportunities for meaningful connection.

Our product helps you throw incredible parties and meet new people, starting with memorable party pages that make it easy to plan & communicate with guests. (Create a party page to see how it works.) We're building new ways to streamline party planning, connect meaningfully in the real world, and make connections between friends-of-friends.

Our ultimate vision is to power everything you do in the real world with your friends, eliminating the friction of bringing your most memorable experiences to life.
