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 6000+ 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. 🥳
This position is either fully remote (Central European timezones) or onsite at our Paris office (75011). We offer relocation for those interested.
👩💻 What are some of the things we work on?
The frontend is written inReactand React Native with the state managed byRedux. The backend code is mostly written inPython3 and runs usingFlask(REST API) andCeleryfor all background work. The state is stored inPostgreSQLandRabbitMQwithRedisfor ephemeral storage, and finally, everything runs onKubernetes.
Given the above, we usually work on one of these levels by improving the existing code, or we create a new feature which more often than not has a component on both frontend, backend, and maybe a migration in the database.
In short, we do full-stack development. Either way, it always good to have a good understanding of the entire stack to be effective.
🧙 Who are we at work?
We have a strong preference for people who worked withhigh-traffic web applicationsfor the past5+ years. We’re essentially running a distributed system that has lots of moving parts and having a decent amount of experience with this type of system helps a lot! Additionally, our apps have over20k daily active userswith sessions longer than6h+/dayand servetens ofmillionsend consumers per year, so we put great importance on quality, testing, and code-review of all our code.
If this is the type of environment you’re looking for, then you should consider applying.
