Full-time

Small businesses represent 99.9% of all companies, yet they're still forced to choose between clunky, outdated enterprise phone systems or their personal phones. This multi-billion dollar market has been overlooked for decades, left to cobble together solutions that slow them down instead of helping them grow.

Quo is changing that. We bring calls, texts, and customer information together into one easy-to-use, AI-powered platform. We’re not just building a phone system. We’re setting a new standard for how businesses connect with their customers.

Driven by our values, we move fast, build with determination, and obsess over delivering value to the businesses that have been underserved for far too long.

Today, Quo is trusted by more than 90,000 companies and rated #1 in customer satisfaction on G2. We’re backed by Y Combinator, Tiger Global, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and other top-tier investors. It’s safe to say we’re onto something big.

• Driving strategic initiatives: Work cross-functionally to align engineering efforts with business goals and across teams (as needed), ensuring that our solutions are prioritized appropriately while meeting customer and maintaining high standards in scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
• Manage people & developing leaders: Hire, coach, mentor and partner with engineers and engineering leaders to foster a collaborative environment focused on continuous learning, manage performance, and support professional growth.
• Technical guidance: Ensure the team has what it needs to make technical decisions, provide guidance on those decisions, ensure clarity of the problem space, and empower the team to own their decisions.
• Building products: Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to build our product that will drive improvements to our customer data and views. You have strong experience balancing competing priorities and driving large initiatives.
• Integrating AI: Spearhead the integration of AI technologies, including enhancing contact properties.
