Job description

Job Description: We are seeking a senior frontend-focused software engineer to support scalable, dynamic email template systems. This role is best suited for a strong frontend engineer with modern React, TypeScript, and JavaScript experience who can also work deeply with reusable email components, Apache Velocity/VTL-style templates, responsive HTML/CSS, APIs, localization, and personalization at scale.

This is not an email developer-first role. The ideal candidate has a strong software engineering foundation, frontend engineering depth, and the ability to build scalable, component-based solutions for dynamic, personalized email experiences.

Enterprise experience strongly preferred.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable frontend and email template components using modern web development practices.

  • Develop dynamic email templates using Apache Velocity/VTL-style macros such as #set, #if, #foreach, and #define.

  • Compose reusable Velocity components and macros into full email templates.

  • Translate Figma designs into modular, maintainable code.

  • Work with shared design systems and reusable components instead of one-off hand-authored HTML.

  • Determine when to extend an existing component versus building a new one.

  • Integrate user interfaces and email templates with backend platforms and API-driven data sources.

  • Connect to, query, consume, and format internal or external API data for conditional, logic-driven dynamic emails.

  • Build templates for scale, including 100+ locales, localized copy, dynamic data, per-recipient personalization, and array-based looping.

  • Hand-code responsive, accessible HTML/CSS optimized for email client rendering limitations across Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail.

  • Work fluently with Git, GitLab or GitHub, the command line, and modern IDE-based development workflows.

  • Collaborate in environments using CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code tooling, and AWS primitives.

Qualifications: Must-Have Skills

  • Senior-level frontend or software engineering execution.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with at least 5 years of related experience, or Master’s degree with at least 3 years of related experience.

  • Current or most recent role should likely be Software Engineer or Frontend Engineer with a frontend focus.

  • Strong frontend development experience using React, TypeScript, and JavaScript.

  • Experience integrating frontend interfaces with backend platforms or services.

  • Strong command of Apache Velocity, VTL, or Velocity-style macro templating.

  • Hands-on experience with macros such as #set, #if, #foreach, and #define.

  • Experience composing components or macros into full email templates.

  • Experience working with scalable design systems and shared reusable components.

  • Ability to build for personalization, localization, and dynamic data at scale.

  • Proven experience consuming API data and using it in conditional, logic-driven templates or user experiences.

  • Advanced responsive HTML/CSS coding experience for email clients.

  • Experience building accessible email or frontend experiences.

  • Familiarity with rendering limitations across Outlook, Gmail, and Apple Mail.

  • Strong Git, command line, and IDE workflow skills.

  • Experience translating Figma designs into modular code.

  • Working knowledge of AWS primitives such as compute, storage, networking, and IAM.

  • Exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code tooling such as Terraform.

  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines such as GitLab CI.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Claude Code, or AI-driven code fixes.

  • Prior exposure to component internationalization or localization frameworks.

  • Prior experience with email-specific frontend systems or dynamic email platforms.
