ABOUT MAILSHAKE
Mailshake is a profitable, bootstrapped, and fast-growing startup looking to expand our product offering with the feedback of thousands of happy customers. We believe in putting our customers first, tackling tough problems head on, and simply trusting our employees to get stuff done.

ABOUT THE POSITION
The Software Engineer is responsible for writing code to implement new features for Mailshake’s applications and services.

This role requires a steady pace of feature delivery while maintaining high quality code.
This role also requires working knowledge of the following technologies: Node, Angular, Typescript, and MySQL. Our platform runs on AWS and utilizes the following AWS technologies: Aurora RDS, ElastiCache/Redis, ECS and Fargate, SQS, Lambda, EC2, CloudFront, and CloudWatch. While not a strict requirement to have a working knowledge of all these AWS technologies, familiarity with cloud infrastructures, including serverless and container technologies, is a must.
