The Ecosystems Domain within Sinch MessageMedia aims to ensure that businesses can foster relationships with their customer base in their existing flow of work through simple and logical cross-platform workflows. This role sits within a remote team spearheading the creation of new systems to broaden the integration capacity of the messaging platforms. The team builds and runs all their own software and aims to abstract away commonalities to create a robust and consistent user experience. In this role, you will own your build from implementation design to testing and release and look after post-release through the tracking of metrics such as error rates, server load and response times. Using these metrics and through an understanding of the product and the businesses that use it, you will work to improve the software and our customer satisfaction.
