Job description
The Company Sendbird is on a mission to build the AI workforce of tomorrow. For over a decade, we built the infrastructure behind conversations—chat, voice, video, messaging APIs—and became the #1 CPaaS platform for in-app communications. 4,000+ brands trust us. 7 billion messages flow through our platform every month. 300 million monthly active users. We powered conversations for DoorDash, Match Group, Noom, Yahoo Sports, Rakuten, and thousands of others. We were good at what we did. Really good. We also saw it early: AI would fundamentally reshape how businesses talk to customers. The infrastructure we'd spent a decade building would become commoditized. The value would move up the stack—into intelligence, into experience, into outcomes. We had a choice: protect what we built, or reinvent ourselves. We chose reinvention. In December 2024, we made the full strategic pivot to AI-first cu

Sendbird
At Sendbird, our mission is to build connections in a digital world. We believe that digital doesn’t have to mean impersonal. That physical boundaries shouldn’t create relationship boundaries. We believe in authenticity over superficiality, and in conversations over text messages. Conversations over digital media bring incredible promise to bridge people together over physical, cultural, and even language divides. Unfortunately, people and businesses looking to connect digitally have to make a choice between the impersonal experience served by email and plain text messages over legacy SMS systems or trusting their identity and data to a handful of messenger monopolies. The result is the connections we make digitally have become increasingly transactional and superficial. We are here to change that. We’re a Y Combinator alumnus (W16) and have raised over $120M from leading investors including ICONIQ Capital, Tiger Global Management, Shasta Ventures, August Capital, and FundersClub. We are headquartered in San Mateo, CA, and also have offices around the world including Seoul, New York City, London, and Singapore.
