Why you should not work at Missive

This role isn’t for everyone. Missive operates at massive scale, each user brings hundreds of thousands or millions of emails with them. We’re a live, collaborative product touching tens of APIs, from Google Workspace and Office 365 to the long tail of IMAP providers, each with their own quirks and edge cases.

This is challenging work. You’ll need to enjoy getting your hands dirty, investigating complex issues, digging through API documentation, debugging edge cases, and finding creative solutions to problems that don’t have obvious answers. If you prefer well-defined problems with clear solutions, this probably isn’t the right fit.

Compensation & Benefits

The salary for this position depends on experience and qualifications within the range of USD $100,000 to $150,000 annually + bonus. In addition to the base salary, we offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes insurance coverage, telemedicine, 5 weeks of vacation time, and other perks.
