Laudspeaker | Remote| Full Time | Senior Software Eng / Founding Eng

We posted on hacker news a few days ago - you can see the whole post here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39836316)

Summary below:

We are building a new, open source suite of software tools to completely handle the "customer journey". You can see our repo here: https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker

We are a small team of 3, had a successful launch on HN a year ago, are backed by YC, and and are now starting to close large companies deploying our software to touch millions of users.

Who You Are:

Our mission is to build a new, open source suite of software tools to completely handle the "customer journey". You can see our repo here: https://github.com/laudspeaker/laudspeaker and our site here: https://app.laudspeaker.com/login

We had a successful launch on HN a year ago, and have moved quickly since and are now starting to close large companies deploying our software to touch millions of users.

We continue to have an ambitious roadmap and are looking for a founding senior engineer to radically improve the product (take it from a 1->10, we have already built the 0->1) and help "level-up" the founders. We need our product to scale to tens of millions of messages sent an hour, handle millions of incoming api requests, add introduce engineering best practices, and tooling for our product to maintain SLAs

The right engineer will be excited to join a small team, excited to work on open source software, works well autonomously, can deal with ambiguity, and wants to work remotely (with minimum 4 hours of overlap sometime between 8am - 8pm pst)

Some more details:

- We work in Typescript with Nest.js for the backend and react for the frontend

c) We can be self-hosted (A few users are self hosting today)

For others checking this out there are also older projects like Mautic [5]. And customer engagement is a large enough category that it includes projects like Chatwoot [6] that focuses more on customer support.

Keila is another one with similar features plus a visual (block) editor for designing the email template/content: https://github.com/pentacent/keila

Someone on r/selfhosted built an alternative for Mailchimp called Keila a while ago. (https://github.com/pentacent/keila). I haven't tried it myself but this sounds promising. You can use your own mailserver with it (which I recommend you do not selfhost for business purposes). As it is licensed right now, it should be way cheaper to use this instead of Mailchimp.

If that doesn’t fix it, please feel free to post a bug report with more details here: https://github.com/pentacent/keila/issues

I've used Keila in the past and was pretty happy w/ it.

What about keila (https://github.com/pentacent/keila) I haven't used it myself yet..

A cool feature that’s not quite ready yet but that I’m working on at the moment is the ability to add custom campaign data. This will allow you to create a template (e.g. for showing your most recent blog posts) and feed it with data via the API - giving you the easiest fully-automated email campaigns ever. I wrote a little thread over at Twitter about this (Draft PR on GitHub). I’m curious to hear if/how you’d use that feature!
