What Makes Us Unique?

What Makes Us Unique?

We’re a team of around 35 people working together to migrate emails and contacts in the most efficient ways to fit with our clients’ needs.

Email migration is our thing. It’s the reason why ShuttleCloud exists. And we’re proud to have these 4 attributes. The reasons people stand by us:

1. Know How

ShuttleCloud was born in 2011 and since then we’ve been growing and gathering the know-how that makes our company successful. Moving one inbox is easy – moving tens of thousands every day is complex. We just transferred our 50 trillionth email 🙂 Hooray!

2. Trust

We are verified yearly by Google, with a rigorous audit conducted by a third party. We are also ISO 27001 certified, and have developed an ISMS adequate to SOC 2 Type 2 standards. By having these reviews yearly, we assure security and stability on all our processes.

3. Best in world consumer email migrations

Google, Yahoo, Comcast, Time-Warner Cable, One.com, Harvard and many of the biggest email companies in the world have used our products for over a decade.

4. Volume

Our platform migrates 30 million emails and 3 million contacts on average per day. There is no substitute for working with this type of volume across a decade.

This is the magic sauce, what makes us—>ShuttleCloud.

How Is The Engineering Hiring Process at ShuttleCloud?

0 Comment read

At ShuttleCloud, we’ve had several openings in the past 5 years. We’ve made a lot of mistakes in all of them. As always, we try to learn from our mistakes. We take everything we do as an iterative process: try, fail, learn; try, fail, learn.

In the last opening, we’ve tried to create a hiring process we can feel proud of. Particularly, I keep complaining about the stupid processes our industry has. Namely, whiteboard programming, processes with more than 5 technical interviews, tricky questions, rude/arrogant interviewers, etc….

Below, we want to share with you what we’re doing in ShuttleCloud to hire two new software developers.

Building a Learning Culture

0 Comment read

Imagine yourself in the following situation. You know your team, their strengths and their weaknesses. You know which members need to improve and in which areas. Like most, your team is made up of a variety of people: members who are eager to learn, who read everything they find, and others who don’t, for any number of reasons.

Even when you try to remind them to spend work time learning—remember, improving is part of the job—they don’t do it. They always have too much to do and can’t find the time.

What it’s like to work at ShuttleCloud as an Engineer?

0 Comment read

Following our series about startup culture, I would like to talk about the ShuttleCloud engineering team. Our engineering team is really small compared to most startup companies: there are only 6 engineers in it. However, we’ve achieved great things. We are proud to list Gmail, Google Contacts and Comcast among our clients.

We’re able to cope with Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) of 99.7%. Every day we perform more than 12,000 new migrations, which involves 12 million emails and 2.5 million contacts, supported through 247 different providers. We move 1TB of data every 6 hours, more than 220 TB per month and 6TB per hour during spikes.
