The Role

The calendar and email team is seeking a front-end engineer to come work with us to build the next generation of cutting-edge communication features. We have built a talented and supportive team and are excited to offer this opportunity for high potential entry-level front-end engineer.

About the Team

The system our team owns handles more than one million emails and calendar events daily. Nearly everything an Outreach customer does involves our part of the system, and we never want to be in the way of our users reaching their customers - or their goals. We’re charged with designing and delivering interesting features, like automated reply detection, which requires a crisp design approach to answer nebulous and challenging problems.

We work with a disparate set of third-party APIs to implement our system, integrating with email and scheduling systems like Google Mail and Calendar, and Microsoft Office 365. Customers trust us with their privacy and valuable data.

We're always concerned with making sure the outward interfaces we implement are up and running. But we’re also working to scale them to larger volumes so we can accommodate even bigger customers. Our road-map contains a rich suite of features for our customers focusing on communication flexibility and efficiency.

On the Calendar and Email Actions Team We:

Are highly collaborative and foster a continuous learning environment

Implement cutting edge applications in the browser and email clients

Are followers of Agile development, with Kanban and regular retrospectives

Understand that the best ideas can come out of debate, but being courteous and listening to each other is equally important

Believe in being kind and supportive to each other

Own the front line communications; a system that provides and monitors direct contact with our users and their customers over email and calendaring interfaces
