> "In addition, we fly the whole team into Tulsa at the start of each quarter to collaborate and spend time together in person."

Ouch. Why? This has to be an HR initiative, right?

What happens for other parts of the year? No collaboration?

Why do people need to spend time together in person? Don't you interact with others via clubs, memberships, hobbies, etc., outside of work?

At Volt, our mission is to make leveraging communication infrastructure easy. Earlier this year, we took lessons from our experience running an SMS platform and launched an SMS messaging ops solution for software companies struggling with deliverability. Managing SMS deliverability takes a lot of manual effort to measure, understand, and improve - we believe that it shouldn't. Our goal is to automate the process of knowing when a deliverability problem is happening, understanding the cause, recommending actions to resolve the problem, and communicating the solution to the end customer.

To do this, we're analyzing terabytes of SMS data and extracting actionable insights that we can build into our product. We're looking for product-minded full stack software engineers to help us build a world class product while navigating the hurdles of scaling a high availability solution. We should get in touch if building a modern, user-friendly, near real-time software system on top of a large and rapidly growing dataset within a well-funded seed stage startup is interesting to you.

We're using primarily Rust, Python, and TypeScript + Angular, along with a whole host of other tools.

So you optimize text spamming?

That’s a fair question—we’re not in the business of enabling SMS spam, and we have a strict anti-spam policy that we enforce. Some of the use cases that we want to help with delivery are SMS 2FA, alert messaging, account notifications, customer care, etc. Everyone who sends SMS, including large, trusted brands, struggles with deliverability at a certain scale.

Jean Tirole's "The Theory of Industrial Organization" (1988) was the first cohesive text on game theory, modern industrial organization, and applied microeconomics, and I believe it remains the best advanced-undergraduate-level/early graduate text that I'm aware of in microeconomic theory.

Along those lines, I'd nominate "The Structure of American Industry" by James Brock (now in its 13th edition) for a seminal text on industrial dynamics that focuses on case studies and analysis.
