Svix is SendGrid for webhooks. Webhooks are becoming increasingly important, though they are still a pain to build. Developers need to worry about deliverability, retries, monitoring, security and the developer experience for their users. All of which are different for webhooks compared to the rest of the stack. We turn all of that into a simple API call.

We are well funded and are backed by Y Combinator, Aleph, and founders and CTOs of companies such as Github, PagerDuty, Segment, Lookout and Fly.io.

At Svix (YC W21), we're building the enterprise ready webhooks service. We are looking for a backend engineer with Rust experience to build performant message delivery at scale. We are also looking for an engineer who is excited by open source software.

You will have a huge impact on the trajectory of the company and the product. You will be trusted to take ownership, have autonomy, and be a leader. You will get to solve interesting problems and technical challenges. We move fast, and speed of execution is one of our core values. We are obsessed with providing a great developer experience, and you will be expected to share this obsession.
