Employment Type: Full-time
Team: Operations
1+ million mobile app developers and marketing teams use OneSignal to send
push notifications, in-app messages, emails, and SMS messages. We started as a
YCombinator-backed company. Our founders were frustrated with existing push
notification tools, so we built our own system. Our customers can design
banners, pop-ups, and interstitials without a single line of code.
When you pick up your smartphone, the first thing you will see are push
notifications - maybe there’s a breaking news alert, a football game reminder,
a promo from your favorite retailer. Whatever it is, chances are the message
you are reading was sent using OneSignal. Now we help businesses send over 10
billion push notifications a day.
We have raised a total of $35M from investors including SignalFire, Y
Combinator, Rakuten Ventures, and Hubspot. OneSignal customers include
Volkswagen, Verizon, Burger King, 7 Eleven, Zynga, Virgin Mobile, KFC, and
many more. Join us in scaling the business! OneSignal has a lot of the great
tech startup qualities you'd expect, but we don't stop there.
OneSignal handles a large amount of scale sending over 10 billion messages a
day and also emphasizing a healthy life balance and kindness in all our
