Additional details
- We are a team of 6 ex-Airbnbers building a new kind of social product.
- Most social apps are built around broadcasting, content consumption, and passive engagement.
- We think the most important interactions happen in smaller groups: close friends, inside jokes, shared rituals, and the things people actually do together.
- Butter helps friend groups create and play inside custom mini-apps. Some are games. Some are utilities.
- Some are weird one-off experiences that only make sense to a specific group of friends.
- Over time, we want Butter to become the primary place where friendships live and evolve online.

- You'll work directly with the founders to define the product, shape the design culture, and make foundational decisions about how Butter feels.
