https://www.zocdoc.com/about/careers-list/#jobs

In general, it's really useful to be around the table with stakeholders. In a COVID world, that's less important, but when we get through this, it really does make a difference if people can be in DC.

That said, these times are definitely an experiment in how to do remote work well.

We are looking for a technical cofounder who is extremely passionate about messaging and enabling companies to have personal relationships with customers at scale.

We are a small scrappy early stage startup with live paying customers and passion for helping companies succeed and treat their customers with the most personalized experience.

The product we are working on right now:

Zero second response: With the rise of instacart and amazon, people are becoming more impatient and expect things to happen right away. Nothing can be further from that than a company demo sign up form. The norm is to get "We'll get back to you in 24 hours!" when in reality people are ready to buy when they are filling out the lead form. Bitesize's zero second response enables customers to get a personalized text message from the company right away and start talking to a sales rep. We think customers shouldn't wait 1 day or even for 4 hours, they should hear back right away!

Text Drip Campaign: Most people are familiar with scheduled email drip campaigns... it sends emails that are scheduled to go out in the next 30 days for example. But email inboxes are becoming overwhelming, it's hard to grab someone's attention or be personal. Well, how about a text message drip campaign? We allow companies to trigger a text message drip campaign based on their website, Salesforce, Hubspot, or other triggers. Then the companies can send personalized text messages that actually sound like someone is personally texting you and respond.

Why aren't these products available in the market already? It's two things - we have an extremely unique point of view when it comes to texting. We believe every text message should sound like it came from a friend or a neighbor. We don't like marketing texts. Two, we have a secret weapon when it comes to navigating tricky TCPA regulations, so we can help protect our customers.
