Senior Backend Software Engineer
Published on August 09, 2025
We believe that internal communication is the most vital part of a company’s culture, but scaling it is really difficult. We have seen this in organizations of all shapes and sizes, and are determined to fix it. After all, getting this right can have huge upsides, from boosting your bottom line to improving your employees’ well-being!
When we looked around, we found it incredibly difficult to find a truly dedicated and modern software solution for internal communications. There were a lot of tools that offered pieces of the puzzle (distribution lists here, simple analytics there), but nothing that was created to help communicators holistically deliver a better experience, strategy, and workflow. So we’ve spent the last three years building our own platform, with a focus on the one channel that’s always been at the center of every single comms strategy: email.
Today, we're proud to power employee communications at over 150+ of the best brands and most prestigious organizations in the world. And we're just getting started!
