Came across Superhuman from the May “Who’s Hiring?” post. Currently on the iOS team. Just wanted to say you’ll learn a lot working here. Not just with engineering, but with product and growth as well.
Any use for backend devs or is it a shop where everyone is an engineer and the division of labor is not in title but on what you're working on at any given moment?
I’d be open to talking through a backend-focused role, though because we run a search engine and sql database in the browser realistically we end up doing most of the traditionally ‘backend’ work (like search and storage) in the clients.

That said we do have a go backend that doesn’t have a full time owner just now.

I'll send you an email in the morning. I was wondering how your email service was so friggin' fast -- doing a lot of that client side makes sense.
Email sent.
Would you be open to recent grads?
