About Intro

Intro is a dating app where LGBTQ South Asians find love. Built by Queer Desis in New York for the 100 million queer South Asians around the globe who deserve a space of their own.

The Role

Responsibilities

• Collaborate on product design and iterate quickly on user feedback.
• Set up CI/CD, testing, and monitoring pipelines.
• Help define the tech culture, best practices, and early engineering team standards.
• Contribute to early hiring and mentorship as we grow.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

• Care deeply about building for LGBTQ and South Asian communities.
• Are motivated by impact and ownership, not just code.
• Thrive in ambiguity and love solving real user problems fast.
• Want to help define the technical and cultural DNA of a mission-driven company.

Interview Process

1. AI Screen – Initial automated technical and culture-fit assessment.
2. Web Challenge – Build a small feature for the web app to demonstrate frontend and full-stack skills.
3. iOS Challenge – Build a small feature for the iOS app to showcase mobile development and design sense.
4. Android Challenge – Build a small feature for the Android app to highlight cross-platform depth.
5. Founder Chat – Meet with the Founder to discuss vision, values, and long-term fit.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary.
• Full-time (40 hours/week) with flexible hours.
• Opportunity to shape a product with global cultural impact.
• Work directly with the founding team building something that truly matters.
