About PushOwl

PushOwl is the leading omnichannel marketing app in the e-commerce space (Top reviewed app on the shopify store in the web push marketing category). In the last 4 years, we’ve helped leading brands like Culture Kings, Lange Hair, Vahdam Teas, and 40K+ merchants drive more revenue and engagement through targetted messaging. In September 2021, we were acquired by Europe's top digital marketing platform: Brevo (previously Sendinblue).

Our entire product engineering and design team is called the build team which collaborates to build things that our merchants want. The build team is 15 people and we work in a long running pods setup to achieve our goals. Within a pod, anyone can define what needs to be done and lead the execution. We have a sincere belief that good decisions can be taken by people working closest to the problem and hence try to push down decision making as much as possible. All of us believe in continuous growth and learning, where there are no stupid questions and an earnest drive for curiosity.
