• Proficiency with templating languages to implement dynamic content in email and Github for documentation
• Knowledge of typical email-rendering bugs and workarounds with experience testing and troubleshooting across multiple browsers, email clients and devices (with Litmus or similar QA program) to ensure consistent renderings
• Be a subject matter expert in messaging development best practices, accessibility and proper coding techniques. You’re deeply interested in the future of email (such as AMP) and other new messaging channels.
• Excellent communication skills. You can translate business to technical and vice versa easily. You are comfortable working with stakeholders at any level.
• Experience working within a messaging platform (ie. Salesforce Marketing Cloud, SendGrid, SendWithUs, Braze, Iterable, etc)
• Appreciate the balance of creative and technical problem-solving that’s inherent in email development
• Highly self-motivated, have a stellar work ethic and are always looking for new challenges
