What Digipals does
Social networks are dead. Social media became more media than social. My friends aren't on social media anymore - it's one third ads, one third content from strangers, and one third AI slop. Our social lives are fragmented across dozens of different apps - iMessage, WhatsApp, Find My, Partiful, and Venmo. Digipals is the first AI-native social operating system that improves our relationships with friends. We built ambient AI agents that use social context from our location, calendar, and photos to take action and write code in our group chats. We are the last social platform anyone will ever need.

What the role involves
iOS/Android Full Stack Engineering - Digipals Building AI digital creatures that makes us more social What we're building Digipals is the first ai-native social network where everyone has an AI agent in the form of a digital creature. It starts out as an egg and hatches, and the more that you give it context such as location, calendar, and group chats, it grows and evolves into a teen/adult form that’s able to help you plan social events with your friends - such as matchmaking based on location and personal preferences, making that coffee chat actually happen in less than 50 texts, and group travel planning where everyone genuinely has fun. We’re building a world where AI should make us more social, not more lonely. What you'll do Ship mobile features using React Native (iOS + Android) that bring digital creatures to life Build full stack features from mobile UI to backend services (Node.js/Python) Create the evolution system - how creatures grow from eggs to social wizards Implement real-time features for group coordination and friend matching Design privacy-first ways to use location, calendar, and chat data Make AI feel fun and social, not creepy and lonely What we're looking for Must haves: CS background Experience with React Native (or native iOS/Android development) Some backend experience (Node.js, Python, whatever) You've shipped something people actually use You think AI should bring people together, not replace them Bonus points: You've played with AI/ML (LLMs, Core ML, etc.) You've built location-based or social features You have opinions about why social apps suck at actually getting people to hang out You've made something with game-like mechanics Your GitHub has something cool we can check out Why join us? Work directly with founders Your code affects how thousands of people socialize Define how AI companions should actually work We're venture-backed and moving fast Details Location: SF Stack: React Native, Swift/Kotlin (if needed), Node.js/Python, PostgreSQL, OpenAI APIs Apply Send us: Resume + GitHub/portfolio Tell us: What's the most annoying thing about planning stuff with friends? (2 sentences max) Anything cool you've built (optional but we love to see it) We're looking for builders who want to make AI actually useful for human connection. If you're tired of AI making people lonelier and want to build something that gets people off their phones and into the real world, let's talk.
