Building Real-Time Infrastructure

The OneSignal podcast aims to educate listeners on product, industry, and best practices to build a great customer messaging practice. Episode 13, hosted by Josh Wetzel, welcomes Matt Pillar, OneSignal's Vice President of Engineering. Matt joined OneSignal in March after spending the past 2 years as an engineering manager at Facebook for real-time infrastructure & core data, and previous to that ran engineering as CTO at a messaging task management software startup called Redbooth. I’m excited to have Matt talk about his experience building engagement tools for Redbooth, supporting real-time communications at Facebook, and his thoughts on the journey ahead for OneSignal.
