Volt is transforming the massive and rapidly growing communications platform industry ($400B). Backed by some of the world’s leading venture capital investors, we are on an ambitious mission: To make leveraging communication infrastructure easy for software companies. Our work is to improve developer experience and lower total cost of ownership by building a fully managed messaging infrastructure stack, so that software teams can focus on building applications that delight users.

About The Role

Volt is hiring Product & Software Engineers to join our rapidly scaling product development team. As one of Volt’s early engineers, you will play a key role in the success of our team achieving our mission. You will be challenged to solve novel technical and DX challenges, work close to users on a product-minded team, and given freedom to contribute where you can create the greatest impact.

Technical Challenges

A few things you will experience:

Work with a huge amount of data at scale and database tables with hundreds of millions of rows
Strong focus on users and product innovation — engineers are front-and-center in our product development and decision making processes. You will be directly involved in customer research, designing and implementing features, measuring product results, and iteration
Very agile but non-dogmatic development environment, deploying several times each day
Develop solutions to novel technical and developer experience problems — we are building the first true platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for mobile messaging
