Nylas | [LINK] | San Francisco, CA (Mission) | Frontend (JS), Backend (Systems+Ops) Hi! We're Nylas. We build N1, the extensible, open source extensible email client, and the infrastructure powering it. We're looking for fronted application engineers (React, Electron, JS), designers, backend systems engineers, and infrastructure/operations engineers. We launched N1 a month ago, have accumulated 11K stars on GitHub, and are looking for core application engineers to design an extensible platform around email, calendar, and contacts. You'll not only be using modern web tech to build a better email experience, you'll be designing the developer platform to power the next generation of email apps. See more about N1 here: [LINK] and code: [LINK] We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. We're scaling heavily and if you have experience with automated deployments, debugging running systems, release engineering, and on-call schedules, but are still comfortable writing code, this job might be for you. :) We take pride the diverse culture we've built and are looking for more then raw technical talent: [VIDEO] == We're particularly looking for folks who == * Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership * Want the chance to step up and lead a team * Put the work before ego.
