Founding Engineer
TL;DR: We've already grown 3x this year, work with the world's largest e-commerce brands, and are building the best engineering team in Utah. We're looking for a founding engineer to help scale Zaymo from 1M to 100M and beyond.
What is Zaymo?
Zaymo lets ecommerce marketers send emails that behave like websites. This enables in-email actions like one-click-purchasing, survey responses, and review collection that significantly increase conversion rates.
Zaymo is backed by investors like Y Combinator, the co-founder of YouTube, and others
Why Zaymo:
- 🚀 Rapid Growth: We’ve already tripled this year and are on track for profitability.
- 🛠️ Engineering Excellence: We’re solving the most challenging problems in ecommerce email marketing.
- 📈 Product-Driven: We prioritize product quality, innovation, and speed.
- 💼 Career Accelerator: Accelerate your career faster here than anywhere else.
- 🌟 Inbound Success: Proven product-market fit, with 100% of customers coming to us inbound.
What would make you stand out:
- 2+ years of full-stack development experience at early-stage startups.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and React.
- Positive attitude, preference for shipping fast, ambition, and collaborative personality
- If you happen to be a wizard at raw HTML/CSS/AMP that would be nice. If not, we’ll teach you.
Benefits:
- Customized benefits package tailored to your needs (we're flexible!)
- Competitive salary with meaningful equity.
- Relocation assistance for moving to Utah.
- Significant responsibility, impact, and recognition as a founding engineer.
Culture:
Please understand and agree with our values before applying:
- In-person work. Nothing replaces the energy of in-person working. No remote/hybrid.
- A-players only. Only A-players can hire A-players. We'd rather hire 1 A-player and pay an above-market amount (that someone is very happy with) than hire 3 B-players and pay market.
- Fast firing. If someone isn't an A player, we part ways quickly. Please be okay with this. We do paid trials to help derisk this.
- Drive. You're hungry to do what it takes to win. You likely have a massive chip on the shoulder.
- Excellence. You value excellence in everything you do. You believe you can be excellent at work and at home.
- Grind. We work/text on Saturdays (Sundays off) and at night. It's ok to send messages at 3am.
- Urgency. Do in a day what usually takes weeks. Run through walls to get things done. Respond in minutes (or seconds) instead of hours.
- Shameless. Be extremely annoying if it means winning. Check-in on things 10x daily. Double (or quadruple) text if someone hasn't responded. Call them too.
- Flat company org. Titles reflect scope. No political promotion games.
- Constantly Up-skilling. Sharpen the saw daily. If not, you know you’re obsolete in a year. You use Cursor Pro.
