About the Role
We’re looking for a Marketing Engineer to bridge the gap between Marketing and Engineering. This is a hands-on role responsible for building and optimizing the pages, emails, and technical systems that fuel our growth. You’ll work across front-end frameworks (React, Next.js), a modern CMS (Builder.io), and occasionally dip into GraphQL and PHP layers to make everything work seamlessly.If you’re a web engineer with strong front-end skills, a practical understanding of back-end integrations, and a passion for creating performant, scalable marketing experiences, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Build and launch new marketing web pages from Figma designs using React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Migrate existing marketing pages from our legacy PHP stack into Builder.io, collaborating with product engineers to ensure consistency and smooth integrations.
- Develop, update, and QA marketing emails using Blueshift, with a focus on responsive design and deliverability.
- Partner closely with Product Marketing, Design, Growth Marketing, and Product Engineering to translate creative concepts into technical execution.
- Implement SEO best practices across pages, including structured data, metadata, and accessibility.
- Monitor and optimize for page performance (Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse).
- Support conversion rate optimization efforts by collaborating with the Marketing team on landing pages and emails, ensuring accurate setup, clean code, and reliable results.
- Occasionally troubleshoot issues across GraphQL and PHP layers that power dynamic content.
What Success Looks Like
- Marketing pages and emails are delivered accurately, on time, and at high quality.
- Site performance improves (LCP, INP, CLS, and overall PageSpeed scores).
- Pages adhere to SEO best practices and drive visibility and conversion.
- Conversion rate optimization tests are launched efficiently, with clean implementation and actionable learnings.
- Builder.io becomes the reliable home for all marketing surfaces, with clean migrations from legacy systems.
- Marketing surfaces integrate seamlessly with the core product, through proactive collaboration with product engineers.
- Marketing team feels supported with fast, reliable engineering execution.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years experience in front-end development (React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, JS).
- Experience with CMS platforms (Builder.io experience a big plus).
- Hands-on experience building responsive marketing emails (Blueshift, MJML, or similar platforms).
- Familiarity with PHP and GraphQL for integration and troubleshooting.
- Strong grasp of web performance and SEO fundamentals.
- Experience implementing or supporting A/B tests for web pages and emails.
- Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Design, and Product Engineering teams.
- Comfortable working in GitHub or similar version control systems.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working with Product Marketing or Growth teams.
- Knowledge of analytics tools (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.) to measure performance impact.
- Experience with design-to-code workflows using Figma.
- Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG).
