About ImprovMX
What is ImprovMX?
ImprovMX is the leading email forwarding provider — founded in 2013 to simplify what was then "a serious pain with complicated manual servers and confusing DNS records". Over a decade later, the platform has evolved into a leader in email forwarding, pioneering advanced features (email aliases, regex aliases, rules-based routing, multi-destination aliases, email webhooks, email logs, SMTP sending, CLI, API) while staying true to the simplicity and reliability promise.
ImprovMX is a 100% self-funded company in the United States. That bootstrapped stance lets the team make decisions in the best interest of users — free from outside investor pressure. The infrastructure runs on an AWS-powered, auto-scaling architecture with a 99.99% uptime guarantee, forwarding emails in under 5 seconds and swiftly resolving bounce-backs by resending via alternate IPs.
Where will I work?
ImprovMX is a remote-first environment: "Work from home, work from Bali, work wherever you''re happiest and most effective." Current open positions are remote, non-US only, with timezone overlap from US Pacific to Europe (GMT-7 to GMT+3).
What is the ImprovMX team like?
The current core team is led by CEO and Owner Matthew Tse, alongside Yosif Gorelyov (Fullstack Engineer), Mogammad M. Singlee (Technical Support), and Monaim Matlaya (Technical Support). The original founders — Antoine Minoux (Product Designer) and Cyril Nicodème (Engineer) — moved on to a new project but still advise the company''s future.
Matthew''s framing for the company: "At ImprovMX, we care deeply about what we build. This isn''t just a job — it''s our craft. We know... it''s just email. But this is the space we''ve chosen to innovate in, so we''re going to take it ridiculously seriously."
Six named values shape how the team operates: AI-First Work ("we use the latest AI models & tools every chance we get"), Fast Paced & High Leverage ("there''s zero bureaucracy here"), Bootstrapped Sustainable ("focused on sustainable growth and doing right by our customers"), Remote-First Environment, High Autonomy & Ownership ("you''ll naturally take ownership over a large portion of our product"), and Quirky & Fun ("we''re not some stiff B2B Enterprise SaaS").
Work-Life Balance
ImprovMX runs on outcome-based compensation: "There''s no seniority or set compensation bands — you''ll earn more as you deliver more business value." Day-to-day operation is async-first: "no daily standups, no required hours, just do good work, we''ll give you maximum flexibility." Engineers can use whatever AI tools, editors, monitors, or keyboards they want — ImprovMX subsidises or encourages it because "it means you can translate thought to action faster."
