Squad (YC W18) | Android / Backend Engineers | Full-Time | San Francisco | REMOTE | https://squadapp.io
Squad is a new way to hang out with your friends––sharing screens, watching YouTube & TikTok while chatting live on video together. It’s the next best thing to hanging out IRL. Our novel approach makes screen time more connective and collaborative for Gen Z.
Our mission is to reduce loneliness by bringing people together to engage in meaningful and fun experiences. We've raised a $5M seed led by First Round and have a fast-growing userbase, mostly of teen girls.
We are a distributed team with a hub in San Francisco. You’ll be implementing fun and engaging features to delight our growing user base. You will be deeply involved in the design process, and own features from conception to roll out.
We're also looking for a couple of contractors for specific projects -- on the web and iOS.
I recently wrote about our cap table and shared all of our investors because I firmly believe early employees should know who they are working to make richer and more powerful in the world. Read it here: https://medium.com/allraise/your-companys-cap-table-matters-...
We’re a creative, diverse and fast-moving team that’s passionate about building the future of social communication. If you are driven by ownership and impact, we’d love to hear from you! Feel free to ping me directly with any questions at esther@squadapp.io

I fostered for nearly 2 years, and ended up adopting my foster daughter who was just a few weeks shy of her 7th birthday. I had a 1 yr old bio son when she joined the family.
I’d say what worked best for me was doing the very hard and frustrating process of building trust between me and her birth mom & family. It was at times maddening but so worth it for her. Especially since the system itself is broken.
My son was actually a plus - she was able to bond with him first and I believe that enabled her to then trust and bond with us.
Now she’s 12 and is amazing. I feel like the luckiest mom in the world to be able to spend my life with her.
Like a lot of women I buy a ton of clothes/shoes/accessories. So far I've tried quite a few style recommendation sites and haven't purchased a thing from any of them... and yet, I've made a lot of online clothing purchases in the past year.
Here's my feedback for StyleUp:
- I just signed up but have to wait to get my first email til tonight. That's not very satisfying - I'm already bored. Give me something to look at immediately! (Now I see if I click a bunch of times I can start rating... why did you bury that?!)
- I want to see what styles look like on people who LOOK LIKE ME. I happen to be petite and busty - I want to know if that shirt or dress that's so cute on the 5'10" model with no boobs would look remotely good on me. Since you're clearly curating the styles and taking the photos, I'd suggest having a few models per outfit. You know what would be even better? If I could select the model and every day get outfits from the girl who best matches my body type. Do that and then you'll have a real shot of getting my credit card.
Mental health conversations are really tough because no one wants to be stigmatized. Depression and anxiety are issues that millions of people deal with but unfortunately acknowledging personal issues with either is seen as a sign of weakness rather than strength. That'll change as more people in power lift the veil by discussing their own challenges.
You're right - most women, even if they're open to hooking up, don't want to shout it from the rooftops. Plus, for even halfway attractive women it's very easy to find willing participants in person and all the other dating sites already feature photos so people scroll through and only select people they'd want to bang anyway.
