Millions of businesses list cost as the #1 reason for not using SMS despite
the demand from their customers — and even if they bite the bullet, most small
businesses are left with software that is expensive and functions like it was
born in the 90s. Textla is changing that.
We’re revolutionizing the communication space, giving the people the power of
CpaaS APIs at no mark-up all while providing smart insights to help drive
impactful outreach, everytime. The end result? SMBs save 400% on average and
hours per day using Textla - resulting in a democratized space for all 🚀
* _Who we’re looking for: *_
A talented engineer to join the founding team and drive big technical impact.
You have a passion to lead the build on new innovative products from scratch
with the customer experience in mind with every touch.
We are a people-first company, and believe it’s the foundation from the
smallest product feature to the biggest decisions about what we do as a
company. Businesses are built by people, and we think they should be built for
people, too.
Nice to have:
\- Experience building highly scalable applications that can handle sudden
spikes in traffic
\- Building near-realtime applications
\- CPaaS Integration experience (Twilio, Vonage, AWS, or MessageBird)
\- Familiar with AI & data intelligence with models like ChatGPT
\- Interested in working in Chattanooga for 12 months starting in August 2023
through August 2024 or being out there for some amount of time
