QuickMail was started in 2014. We more than doubled the business in 2022 and we have the same ambitious goal for 2023.

Your initial responsibilities

  • In the first weeks, to familiarize you with our code, you'll be making some small changes to the code to either fix problems or extend existing solutions.
  • You'll then move toward building smaller scope features &advancing on longer-term projects.
  • Ultimately, you will have the possibility to make a big impact on the product by driving initiatives to support the business (e.g. build an integration, create a new feature, extend the API...)

The role will evolve into more complex responsibilities based on your ability to write good, clean, and maintainable code as well as communicate &interact with the team.
