š„ About Peanut
No woman should have to navigate motherhood without a support network.
Our mission is to provide a safe social network for all women to form new friendships, find their communities, and provide support to each other.
Unlike other social networks, we put safety and wellbeing first.
Since 2017, over 2 million women have joined. We've grown quickly across the US and other countries, and received numerous accolades from Apple, the New York Times, Good Morning America, and the BBC to name a few.
Our team of 33 people is multidisciplinary, distributed, diverse, and experienced.Some of us have previously worked with Citymapper, Deliveroo, Twitter, Pinterest, or Bumble.
We're passionate about creating a great product that actually does social good. We thrive on collaboration. We experiment and discover solutions to problems we don't believe anyone has solved well.
š§āš» How we work
Our main product work happens inside cross-functional squads. Those are formed ad-hoc (on a per-project basis) so that we don't silo anyone into a specific part of the product or software areas.
On top of this, each team member spends every 4th or 5th week tackling smaller projects, ranging from support issues to bug fixing, maintenance, or performance work. We keep our technical debt low on an ongoing basis.
We make pragmatic choices when picking good tools. We communicate mostly through Slack and manage work and prioritisation with Notion and Monday, review code through Github pull requests, and meet with Whereby or Google Meet.
We have few meetings: a short, daily standup, a weekly town hall meeting to discuss product and/or analytics, plus ad hoc squad chats as required during a given project.
š¤ Our work ethic
We believe that great teams build great products ā and we live to high standards we've learned through past experiences.
- Collaboration. No one person can come up with a perfect solution, be it about technology or user experience. We strive to listen to everyone and co-design the product across engineering, design, and beyond.
- Trust. We trust each other to do their best and to know how to execute within their role and beyond. So we never micromanage ā instead, we agree on scope and let each team member be responsible for execution ā¦ and expect everyone to ask for (and get) support when they need it.
- Mastery. We care about quality and detail, because we care about our audience. We push ourselves and question our assumptions. We always experiment and keep learning, individually and as a team.
- Ambition. We have a bold mission, and we aim to make a dent into what we see as a problem in society. We're committed to the health of our users, our team, and our company.
