Nylas is a pioneer and leading provider of universal communications APIs that
allow developers to quickly connect their applications to every email,
calendar, or contacts provider in the world. Over 40,000 developers around the
globe use the Nylas communications platform to process over 1.2 billion API
requests and 15TB of data per day from providers such as Gmail, Microsoft
Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo! and more.

  

Nylas was founded in 2013 by a couple of MIT graduates who were passionate
about making complex systems simpler. Co-founder and CTO Christine Spang saw
that email use was growing at a steady rate, yet there wasn’t a simple way to
unify this data-rich tool in a way that developers could easily integrate with
this data. She and a small team (at the time) set out to fix this. Fast-
forward to 2020, Nylas has successfully raised funding from Spark Capital,
8VC, ScaleUP, Round13, Citi Ventures, Slack Fund, Data Collective, Fuel
Capital, and SV Angel. Nylas customers span from large enterprises such as
Hyundai, Fox News Corp, Hubspot and [Move.com](http://move.com/) to high-
growth start-ups like Dialpad, Pipedrive, Lexicata, and Sparkpost.  

  

 **Our Work Philosophy**

  

Nylas is also big believers in the safety and well-being of our employees and
society, which is why we are onboarding all new Nylanauts remotely during this
global pandemic until there is a vaccine and it is safe for humans to resume
their pre-COVID lifestyles.

  

AND once COVID-19 pandemic eventually comes to an end, we will continue to
embrace Remote First philosophy, with a minor twist: Remote First, Office
Second. That's right! It's about how you work, not where you work. Nylanauts
can choose any workspace or environment that will result in more ideas,
engagement, creativity, focus, collaboration, and productivity. It's true.
They can go anywhere as long as they respect the working hours (time zones) of
their team. Wherever motivates them; inspires them to be better versions of
themselves. This means Nylanauts can work from the slopes of Missoula before
traveling to the beaches of San Diego. Wonderful!

  

And if Nylanauts want to work from an office in one of our hubs (San
Francisco, Denver, New York City, Toronto, and London), they can. Go ahead!
The workspace is there to be utilized.

Why Remote First, Office Second? Because we not only believe in respecting
individual working styles, disabilities, and personal schedules, but also
ensuring everyone has a better work-life balance. The outcomes will always be
more important than the physical location.

  

So, if you’re looking to join a fast-growing company with a beloved, daily-use
product, and an authentic mission that puts people first, we want to meet you.
