Marketing Technology Engineer

Role overview A Marketing Technology Engineer embedded within the marketing function owns the marketing technology stack end-to-end. The role blends marketing operations with hands-on engineering: keeping email systems reliable, shipping website changes without waiting on an engineering queue, and applying AI across the stack to automate work that historically required a dedicated engineer. Success means being equally fluent in marketing intent and code, acting as a translator between the two.

Responsibilities - Run email operations including sends, journeys, automations, segmentation, data hygiene, and deliverability within an enterprise ESP, maintaining the QA discipline required for systems that reach nearly 1.5 million recipients reliably. - Administer the full marketing stack and integrations between the email platform, headless CMS, analytics, and core systems, ensuring data flows are trustworthy and meet security, privacy, and accessibility standards. - Ship website and CMS changes directly through a headless content platform and code, designing content models so marketing associates can self-serve routine edits. - Build the segments, dynamic content, forms, and measurement that campaigns depend on, converting recurring requests into reusable self-service capabilities. - Apply AI across the stack to automate operations, generate and review code, and identify leverage, prioritizing use cases by measurable gains in quality, capacity, speed, or cost within established governance. - Evaluate and prototype in-house alternatives to current stack components (starting with email), weighing deliverability, compliance, and operational burden alongside cost.

Requirements - Typically 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience with production marketing systems such as an ESP, a CMS, or the data flows between them, with either an engineering background applied to marketing or a marketing operations background expanding into code. - Working comfort in HTML/CSS, plus enough JavaScript/TypeScript and SQL to build and debug with AI assistance rather than handing work off, plus an understanding of headless CMS architecture. - Current, practical use of AI in real work, with the ability to show something built or automated. - Operational judgment for running systems others depend on, including QA habits, deliverability awareness, and clear guardrails around send days. - Cross-functional communication skills to translate between marketing intent and technical implementation, working effectively with both associates and engineers.

Nice to have - Hands-on experience with Payload or a comparable headless CMS such as Contentful, Sanity, or Strapi. - Experience with email infrastructure beyond the ESP layer, including migrations or build-vs-buy assessments. - Experience working in a shared codebase with an engineering team, including version control and code review. - Familiarity with CRM, customer lifecycle, and digital acquisition systems. - Experience building accessible digital products, particularly for economically or historically underserved communities. - Background in a mission-driven, venture-backed, or resource-constrained growth-stage company.

Benefits and work setup - Salary range of $130,000 to $160,000, plus benefits and stock options; placement reflects experience and demonstrated capability. - Fully remote; candidates based anywhere in the United States are considered. - Equal Employment Opportunity employer; all qualified applicants are considered regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, gender identity or expression, national origin, genetics, age, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
