The engineering team here at Drift could not be prouder. We build the technology that powers 1.5MM simultaneous users. This is the power of now.

[Elias Torres @eliast]

Amazing that our new normal is over 1.5 million people having buying conversations over @Drift Chat⚡️ ** AT THE SAME TIME **

Wowza 🙌🏽

"The new way businesses buy from businesses." is proving more true every day. Thank you.

[Elias Torres @eliast]

It was hard enough before COVID-19 to keep up with the meetings. A lot of people believe most can be replaced with emails.

We found something much better.

Replace meetings with videos.

@Drift Video is the tl;dr for @zoom_us

This week over 350 passionate, customer-centric product and engineering people in our hometown were displaced by @Wayfair and @LastPass.

Do you know what an uxu is? #uxu #drift

[Tim O’Brien 🌼 @timohbee]

Almost a year ago we asked our head of recruiting @Kpesky3 “Do you know what an UXU is?“ and he responded “Absolutely not“.

Now when candidates come to @Drift , they ask us about the UXU. It‘s a movement.

People always ask us: "What's it like to work at @Drift?" There are a thousand great answers but one of them can be found on @Comparably's latest list of Boston's Tech Teams that Rival Silicon Valley! (And check out who's FIRST with a rating of A+!)

Listening to @Drift’s amazing @maggiecrowley talking about how Drift uses early access programs to develop new capabilities at the Experimentation meetup co hosted with @SplitSoftware #product #engineering #experimentation

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

Awesome talk about Leex and Yecc from @bnchrch from @FISSIONcodes today. We can’t wait to start writing our own grammars in #elixirlang #thebigelixir

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

It’s Day 2 of @thebigelixir and we’re definitely having a great time meeting everyone and watching the great presentations. Which one is your favorite so far? #thebigelixir #elixirlang

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

How do you pronounce kubectl? @coryodaniel says it’s “kube cuddle” and we’re definitely “on board” with that. @thebigelixir #thebigelixir #elixir #Kubernetes

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

We are loving @sm_debenedetto ‘s talk on LiveView at @thebigelixir #elixir #thebigelixir #liveview

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

We’re going to be at @thebigelixir this week! We’d love to meet and learn from other leaders who’ve build large to massively scaled #elixir messaging systems like @Drift. Look for our Chief Architect @APIguy at the event, he’d love to connect!

[Drift Engineering @DriftDev]

Great insight from our Head of AI, Jeff Orkin @jorkin about challenges with AI adoption.

[Affectiva @Affectiva]

When trying to roll out an #AI bot, there’s a lot of fear. Customers often want to test and test before turning the bot on because they’re afraid it’s not trained well enough, says @jorkin @Drift. #EmotionAISummit

[Maggie Crowley @maggiecrowley]

Semi-regular reminder: we have a handful of open #product & #design roles @Drift!

I 💕 this team so much. We work on how we work, as well as our work. We laugh a lot. We respect the hell out of each other. We try to get a little better every day.

Come join us!
