About DispatchThe product

Dispatch protects your attention from the flood of digital inputs throughout the day so that you can focus on your most important work. We're building a unified priority inbox for all notifications — starting with the worst offender: Slack.

Once we solve this burning need for Slack power users, we'll expand to other notification streams: Jira, GitHub, Confluence, Notion, Asana, Google Docs, etc.

The problem

The amount of data that we produce is growing astronomically.

Ask yourself — how much information do you parse through everyday? How many messages, emails, notifications? We have the same hardware as our ancestors (), yet we have to process orders of magnitude more information than they did.

You'll be joining a small team backed by top Silicon Valley investors to tackle the problem of distraction at a transformative stage of the company. We're working with hungry early users to iterate on the product, and stress test reliability/performance with high volumes of data. There are many engineering challenges ahead of us, and we're excited to build a team of talented and thoughtful people to tackle them.

The role

If you're excited about tools for focus and attention, and have experience building early-stage products we'd be delighted to meet you You'll be working directly with the founders to build on an early version of Dispatch and take it to public launch and beyond.

What you'll achieve
Drive major technical decisions and have an outsized impact at an early-stage company.
Design, build and operate scalable backend systems and services that power a high volume messaging product.
Work with our security team to build improvements that help keep Dispatch secure.
Improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes. Have opinions about CI/CD and testing tools? We'd love to hear them.

What we're looking for
4+ years of experience building scalable backend services
Familiarity with some of our existing technology and deployment stack - our current backend is a motley blend of AWS (Aurora Postgres, SNS, SQS), Heroku, Vercel (serverless, )
Worked on production-level projects with serverless and events-driven architecture

Nice to have experiences

Working with Slack apps and the Slack Events API

What will help you succeed
Comfortable in a dynamic fast-paced environment — We're a small and agile company where ideas change and become reality in a matter of days if not hours.
Autodidactic — As our product evolves, there'll be many new things to learn. We're looking for ambitious self-starters who are eager to build expertise in areas our growing team needs.
Growth-oriented and thoughtful about giving and receiving feedback — We want to create an environment where people are stoked to do their best work. How can your teammates help you achieve that?
Able to clearly communicate technical and product ideas — Disagreements happen and it's important that you are able to explain your perspective so that we can arrive at the best solutions as a team.
User focused and critically optimistic about technology — You're excited about the potential of what we can build together, but mindful of the implications and how it shapes real people's lives.

Working at Dispatch

Protected focus time — We operate on the maker's schedule. The few meetings we have are planned around focus blocks and efficiently run.

Flexible work schedule — Fancy a midday bike ride or prefer working nights? We take advantage of our small team and few meetings by working hours when we can be at our best.

Writing and documentation — From planning/proposing (specs), executing (work logs), to evaluating (post-mortems, analytics), we write everything down. Documenting decisions not only creates a shared reality for the company, but allows more people to participate in the conversation and give their opinions asynchronously.

Do less, well — There are infinite things to build and do, so it's important that we ruthlessly prioritize projects with the most impact. This means doing fewer things, but doing them well.

Disagree and commit — There isn't always a correct choice when it comes to product or technical decisions. Even when discussions get heated we always move forward (and fast) together.

Rigor — How you do one thing is how you do everything. Whether it's a code review or writing up an agenda for a meeting, we take pride in being thorough and bringing energy to every task.

Direct feedback — We make space to talk about problems and improve working relationships during regular 1:1s. We assume good intentions and treat feedback as a gift.

We hope you'll join us.
