Get to Know our Team:

Join our innovative team to build and enhance chat platforms that streamline communication and collaboration globally, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to connect people and empower conversations. It is an exciting opportunity to enhance a multi-faceted chat platform, revolutionizing communication between agents and properties with AI-driven tools to boost efficiency and effectiveness. We build scalable, fault-tolerant systems and APIs that host our core business logic. Our systems cover all major areas of our communication channel Voice, Chat and Email.

We also ensure that our systems are self-healing, responding gracefully to extreme loads or unexpected input. To accomplish this, we use state-of-the-art languages like Scala, Kotlin and Typescript, data technologies like Kafka and Aerospike, and agile development practices. Most importantly though, we hire great people from all around the world and empower them to be successful.
