Missive | Senior Backend Developer | REMOTE (Eastern americas to Central central Europe) | Full-time Missive brings inbox collaboration to teams that run on email. This isn’t your typical SaaS; it’s a full-fledged app users live in all day. We integrate with dozens of APIs and servers, process 10M+ emails, 100M+ requests per day serving thousands of users who collaborate in real-time. If you’re excited by data at large scale, complex edge cases and third parties that always find new ways to fail, this is for you. Missive started over a decade ago. It is mature, still 100% founder-owned and highly profitable. We’re in it for the long run; a small, dedicated team building a product customers genuinely love. We keep our stack simple and that doesn’t mean boring. The backend is a Rails monolith, Postgres, plus a few tiny services in Ruby, Node or Bun. Warning, we are hiring remotely, but Eastern americas to central Europe timezones only. Read more and apply here: https://jobs.rubyonrails.org/jobs/27037-senior-backend-devel...
