Private email infrastructure & deliverability engineering
Industry

SaaS & Transactional

Product notifications, magic links, password resets, in-app alerts, digest emails. The application depends on email delivery. Failure modes are latency, not just placement.

Challenges

  • Latency-sensitive: a delayed magic link is a failed login
  • Per-tenant attribution required for reporting and support
  • Volume grows with the customer base — capacity planning is continuous
  • Reputation isolated from any marketing activity the product also does

Our approach

  • Dedicated transactional IPs with sub-30s median delivery targets
  • Per-tenant tagging for downstream observability
  • REST API with signed webhooks for delivery events
  • Isolated from any marketing sending the same company operates

Deliverability recommendations

  1. Send transactional and marketing from different subdomains at minimum
  2. Instrument delivery event ingestion into the product's observability stack
  3. Rate-limit magic link resends at the application layer, not the SMTP layer

Example engagements

  • B2B SaaS platform: migrated 12M/month transactional volume; median delivery at Microsoft went from 68s to 18s; support tickets for 'didn't get the email' dropped 71%.

Questions

Do you handle IPv6?
Yes for outbound. Some providers still throttle IPv6 more aggressively, so we typically default to IPv4 for transactional.
