HQ: New York, United States • Developer Tools • Email Hosting & Delivery • Trust D • Hiring 39
MergeAPI is a pre-launch email marketing service for software developers that lets web applications send bulk marketing email using the same templates they already use, such as Jinja2, ERB and Handlebars. The product promises unsubscribe management, audience segmentation for marketing teams and webhooks that call back to customer servers to fetch fresh user data or interrupt sends, and its site still shows it as launching soon with access by contact only. No real hiring is attributable to MergeAPI itself: the job board linked to this record is a Greenhouse integration sandbox filled with placeholder and test postings.
