Tech Stack

Our frontend is built with React and Mobx. For our embeds, we swapped out Mobx with Vatio, a much smaller library. We test-drive our code with Jest and Storybooks. Our embeddable inbox (and the SDK powering it) is React, but we also offer a pure Javascript & another React headless SDK.

Responsibilities

• Work with the founders shoulder to shoulder in building the new standard for notifications:
  • MagicBell's dashboard that our customers use to set up and manage their experience.
  • React, React Native & Javascript SDKs.
  • Embeddable Inbox.
• Hire, attract and onboard other smart engineers.
• Shape the culture of our company to create the next Stripe, Twilio, or your favorite company.
• Be our developer evangelist:
  • Our go-to-market strategy involves bottom-up developer adoption. Therefore our entire team is an evangelist for our product - all of us write blog posts sharing what we have learned, and talk to users (we have some of our biggest customers on shared Slack channel). We have also built some fun little hacks to get developer attention, like our Hacker News Chrome extension and Firefox addon.

If the below do not resonate with you, please save us both time and not apply. Thank you.

• Have a Github account.

• Willingness to go above and beyond.
  • For example, keeping track of new security vulnerabilities that might impact us or fixing customer issues proactively and notifying them.
