Gorgias helps e-commerce companies deliver excellent customer service at scale. We integrate email, live chat, voice, Facebook, Instagram, and SMS with Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.

Our product creates a unified customer profile by combining emails, live-chat, and social-media messages with e-commerce data such as purchase and delivery info. Combining all this data in a single application makes customer service more efficient and just better. Another fortunate side-effect is that some requests are completely automated using machine learning. 💬 + 📦 = ❤️

We’ve been around since 2015, and we’re serving over 8000+ e-commerce businesses, including Steve Madden, Timbuk2, Decathlon, and Sports Illustrated.

Our growth exceeded 200% in 2020, so we raised $25 million Series B in December 2020 to double our global team and to accelerate our progress towards our mission to transform support from painful to exceptional for merchants. 🥳
About the Team

The team’s primary function is to improve the productivity of Support Agents through Gorgias and, in turn, to help merchants improve the quality of the customer support process. We do this through three main means:
First, we enable merchants to automate responses and actions for common support requests, through a rules system. This eliminates all the trivial work and helps Support Agents to focus where their time is really important. And in those areas the Productivity team provides efficiency tools as well
Second, Agent Efficiency features: auto-tagging and route tickets, template responses, and phrase prediction
Third, improve adoption of the Productivity features, by identifying automation opportunities for the merchant.

What You’ll Do

The frontend is written in React with the state managed by Redux. The backend code is written in Python3 and runs using Flask (REST API) and Celery for all background work. The state is stored in PostgreSQL. We use RabbitMQ with Redis for ephemeral storage, and finally, everything runs on Kubernetes.
Most of the time, you will work on improving existing or developing new product features in the Productivity Squad space, as per the project specifications provided by a Product Manager. You will collaborate with other engineers, sometimes from other teams, in order to make the right technical decisions. You will insist on high standards and will instrument code with logging and unit tests, and will configure monitors and alarms for the important production functionalities.
All team members will do one-week pager-duty and support rotations. While on support/pager-duty, you are responsible to intervene on any service incident or customer support issue that is related to our ownership area
You will help clarify the scope of work on a quarterly basis. You will analyze new product requirements and help clarify. You will provide technical consultation and brainstorm alternative ideas. You will break down project requirements into actual tasks and estimate effort
On a quarterly basis, you will provide and receive feedback to and from your teammates, in order to contribute to team and company growth.
