We’re re-imagining how small businesses and retailers shops engage and communicate with their audiences through all their channels (SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, FB) by offering a single omni interface. We aim to become the simplest and most loved communication tool for the job. This is a bootstrapped, cash-flow positive business that is expanding on this strategy as a long-term goal.

Consider applying if you enjoy writing beautiful, organized code that reads almost as poetry.
