At Courier, we are on a mission to make computer-to-human software communication delightful.
To do this, we want to do for notification infrastructure what Stripe has done for payments infrastructure as well as make building and sending notifications fast, easy, and delightful. We’ve created the complete user communication stack for developer teams: our API takes the tedium out of integrating various notification channels, while our Studio lets anyone design a message template and deliver the right message to the right user at the right time with a single API call. Email, Push, Slack, SMS, you name it.
We’ve raised $12.5 million from Bessemer Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, Twilio, SendGrid, Slack, and Y Combinator. We're fanatical about delivering an amazing experience to software developers of companies big and small, and our goal is to build a platform that developers don’t just use but one that they love. If you want to push the frontier in developer tooling, we want to work with you.
We're looking for a creative, results-driven marketing leader to help evolve and communicate our product story. We solve a problem that nearly every software engineering team has, however most don't realize there is an alternative to building and maintaining the solution internally. Our product marketing challenge is effectively framing our product as a core part of the developers stack that not only frees up engineering resources, but that also enables their product to deliver a better, more differentiated experience. If you love highly technical products (APIs, developer infrastructure, cloud services, etc.) and fast-paced startup environments then this could be a great role for you.
