About SaneBox

Here at SaneBox, we're changing the way people email. Everyday we work to reduce the inefficiencies surrounding email and improve how people communicate with one another through email. This involves a lot of education and a very smart algorithm.

SaneBox filters out and summarizes unimportant emails - not spam, but legitimate messages that just don't deserve to interrupt your day and can be processed later in bulk. We also have a full suite of additional features that help turn anyone from email novice to email superhero.

We continue to receive lots of great press, including from Business Insider who recently said that our product "is by far the easiest way to fix email overload". Oh yeah, our customers love us!

Our Team

We are a small, dedicated team, the company is not filled with hard drinking, hard playing young people. Mostly we all have kids and real lives outside work, have been doing this for a decade or more, understand that there is never enough RAM or CPU cycles ever and whatever software debt you incur today by being dumb will have to be paid back in the future at a stiff interest rate. This isn't to say we don't know how to have fun, we actually do an amazing job of keeping things light in the midst of intense, busy days.

We have an office in LA and Boston so you are welcome to work in an office or if you'd prefer we also have great people working remotely all over the world.

To apply: To apply, send a cover letter and resume with the subject line “SaneBox is Awesome” and include your favorite joke and a website whose design you admire.
