Build email
for developers
Posthawk is a small, bootstrapped team building email infrastructure for developers. No growth playbook, no VC deadlines, no roadmap bloat — just the thing we wished existed.
We are not hiring
right now.
We are focused on getting Posthawk to profitability before we grow headcount. No open roles today — and we would rather say that plainly than pretend we have roles we don't.
If you love email, systems, or developer tooling, drop us a note anyway. When we do open roles, the people who reached out first are the first calls we make.
What you work on now, what you'd want to build at Posthawk, and a link or two. No CV padding.
careers@posthawk.devWe read every email. Replies may take a few days.
Six things that
actually matter to us
Culture is what a team actually does, not what it writes on a careers page. But here's what we try to do — so when we do hire, you know what you'd be signing up for.
Ship small, ship often
Merge small PRs multiple times a day. No two-week release trains, no sprint ceremonies, no tickets that outlive the feature.
Deep work beats meetings
At most one standup a week. Everything else is async — Linear, PRs, and written decisions. Engineers get long uninterrupted blocks.
If it is not written, it did not happen
Decisions and tradeoffs live in docs and PR descriptions so the whole team can read them later, not just the people in the meeting.
Sustainable pace, always
No crunch, no on-call hell, no midnight Slack pings. We bootstrapped Posthawk to avoid that. 40 hours is plenty when you remove the meetings.
Fully remote, any timezone
Work from wherever, as long as you can overlap a few hours with Central European time. No office, no relocation, no commute.
Own what you ship
You build the feature, you handle the rollout, you field the support tickets, and you decide when it is done. No handoffs.
A process that respects
your time
- Reply to every application within a week
- Keep interviews to one chat plus one technical deep-dive
- Pay for any take-home work longer than an hour
- Share the salary range in the first email
- Tell you clearly when it is not a fit — no ghosting
- Run you through six rounds of interviews
- Ask for a weekend-long take-home
- Filter by school, degree, or previous employer
- Use algorithm puzzles as a proxy for skill
- Hire roles we are not sure we need yet

No roles today — but we keep every note and come back to them.
