Then it writes the message
that gets the reply.

A blast gets ignored. Yena drafts every message from the candidate's real story, runs the follow-ups across email and LinkedIn, and drops the warm replies back on your desk.

To Mateusz Sobczak · Staff Engineer, ex-Adyen
EmailLinkedIn

Hi Mateusz,

Scaling Adyen's ledger past 12k tx/s is exactly the problem the next hire owns here, the whole payments platform, not one service on it.

Worth twenty minutes? I'll send the brief.
