About Mogli
Mogli Technologies delivers a native Salesforce application for SMS and WhatsApp communications to global education organizations and nonprofits, along with extreme growth of clients in commercial verticals. Our products are easy to use and have robust functionality. Our fantastic team members have won the loyalty of clients around the world. We are a small, high-trust team focused on accelerating our clients' success globally.
What we hold sacred around here:
Empathy: A powerful characteristic that’s about being in tune, seeing, knowing, and understanding others while also relating as a human in a tech-minded world. Listen. Ask questions. Offer tactful solutions. Instead of serving our own interests, we are wired to serve others.
Hustle & Tenacity: We are action-oriented and happiest in motion. We take pride in delivering exceptional experiences for our clients & partners. In the midst of adversity or challenges, we don't quit, but hold to a vision and eliminate barriers to find resolution & make things happen.
Twinkle in your Eye: It’s that hidden energy, emotion, or humor – the excitement of having a particular idea before putting it into action. You know something about something and you are excited to share that knowledge.
Proactive: We aim for a no-surprises policy that builds trust by outlining the next steps early and often, identifying patterns, and courageously communicating. A little extra effort up front saves a big effort later on. Proactivity is a generous and conscientious act.
Growth Minded: We are continually evolving, creating, beautifully curious, and willing to step outside our comfort zones. Unwilling to settle for how things are, we are always looking for ways to engage more effectively and efficiently. Navigating a growing and dynamic business is easiest with a growth mindset.
Location: Remote within the United States, preference for Colorado-based applicants

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We're actively taking steps to make sure our culture is inclusive and that our processes and practices promote equity for all, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. We welcome and encourage applications from people with these identities or members of other historically marginalized groups.
Research shows that women and people of color tend not to apply to jobs unless they believe they are 100% qualified and apply to fewer senior-level positions. With that in mind, we encourage you to apply if you're not sure whether you meet our qualifications. We'd love to have the opportunity to consider you.
