  • Partner with Marketing and Product teams to optimize email content, deliverability, and A/B testing strategies
  • Work closely with Developers to enhance reliability and scalability of transactional email systems
  • Create and maintain documentation, process guides, and troubleshooting runbooks
  • Provide input to internal training for junior engineers and support teams
  • Stay current with global email regulations (e.g. GDPR, CAN-SPAM) and emerging deliverability trends and technologies

Main requirements:

  • BSc/MSc in Information Technology or any other relevant degree
  • 1 year+ experience in email systems engineering or similar communication infrastructure roles
  • Solid understanding of email protocols (SMTP, IMAP, POP) and DNS configuration (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)
