Gorgias helps e-commerce companies deliver excellent customer service at scale(e)We integrate email, live chat, voice, Facebook, Instagram, and SMS with Shopify,BigCommerce, and Magento.

Our product creates a unified customer profile by combining emails, live-chat, and social-media messages with e-commerce data such as purchase and delivery info(e)Combining all this data in a single application makes customer service more efficient and just better(e)Another fortunate side-effect is that some requests are completely automated using machine learning(e)💬 + 📦 = ❤️

We've been around since 2015, and we're serving over 9500+ e-commerce businesses, including Steve Madden, Timbuk2, Decathlon, and Sports Illustrated.

Our revenue grew by 80% in 2021 after we raised $25 million Series B in December 2020(e)We doubled our global team and we accelerated our progress towards our mission to transform support from painful to exceptional for merchants(e)🥳

Is working with a real-world application that touches the lives of millions your thing? Then yeah, Gorgias is for you.

👩‍💻 What are some of the things we work on?

The backend code is mostly written in Python3 and runs using Flask (REST API) and Celery for all background work(e)The state is stored in PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ for async tasks with Redis for ephemeral storage, and finally, everything runs on top of Kubernetes.

Given the above, we usually work on one of these levels by improving the existing API, improving performance, or creating a new feature that more often than not has a component on both backends and maybe a migration in the database or a maintenance command.

🧙 Who are we at work?

We have a strong preference for people who have worked with high-traffic web applications for the past 3+ years.We're essentially running a distributed system with lots of moving parts, and having a decent amount of experience with this type of system helps a lot!

Additionally, our apps have over 20k daily active users with sessions longer than 6h+/day and serve tens of millions of end consumers per year, so we put great importance on the quality, testing, and code-review of all our code(e)Some services that we're running have big codebases, and we have to feel comfortable about navigating and progressively improving them(e)Sometimes, however, we gotta figure out why the 10Tb+ DB is slow or why some k8s pod is not running correctly, figure out how to successfully retry a failing API request, etc..(e)The end goal is to hide much complexity from the user and make their life easier.

If this is the type of environment you're looking for, then you should consider applying.
