Core Engineers

Meetup is seeking a Core Engineer to work on a product that has so far brought 15 million people together. Meetup has been around the block—we were born back when 3D pixelated babies danced, bananas shouted "peanut butter jelly time" and phones only had one app: Phone.

It turns out that people have a deep, innate human desire to meet up, so we’ve grown like crazy—but the desktop-centric, feature-cluttered product we started building over a decade ago just can’t sustain that kind of growth. We’re ready to reshape Meetup for the mobile, global future, and to craft experiences that echo the amazing feeling of going to a great meetup.



As a core engineer, you get to push code multiple times daily and work alongside a smart, friendly, dedicated team to build the next generation of our site. You will also:

  • Help serve content to mobile platforms, public API, and desktop
  • Collaborate with Product teams on a variety of new developments
  • Architect and design features across multiple projects
  • Participate in code reviews in a rapid launch environment
  • State your opinions and contribute to a lively decision-making process
  • Learn new things, mentor and share knowledge with team members

You’re our ideal team member if you:

  • Love what you do! 
  • Are thrilled at the idea of helping grow local community worldwide
  • Possess extensive experience programming in Java 
  • Have good web development experience
  • Exhibit strong DB/SQL skills 
  • Know/like any of the tools we use: Python, Scala, JavaScript, Redis/MySQL, RabbitMQ

Our team is smart, ambitious, supportive and, above all, we are excited by what we do! While meeting regular deadlines and being focused on quick, quality completion of projects, the environment is relaxed and fun.

Every member of the Meetup Team is expected to: be an Innovator; be a Collaborator; be a Champion for their ideas; be an Expert; have High Standards; be dedicated to the power of self-organized groups and our mission of A Meetup Everywhere About Most Everything ("MEME"); and most importantly, Get Stuff Done That Makes a Difference!

If the above describes you and your passions, we'd love to hear from you!
