We’re looking for a collaborative and experienced Software Engineer to join our digital marketing team and make a big impact. As a software engineer on the Marketing team, you’ll work in close partnership with marketing, engineering, product, design, analytics, and leadership to implement marketing-led web initiatives across the platforms and tools that we use. This can include anything from building new page components in Wagtail CMS to running A/B tests to optimizing webpage performance and SEO and much more. Our tech stack includes Wagtail CMS, Python, Django, Vue.js, SCSS, Webpack, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and more. Our technology team is focused on scale, quality, delivery, and thoughtful customer experience. We ship frequently without sacrificing work/life balance.

2+ years total professional experience as a software engineer, preferably in marketing-related web projects
Proficiency with Wagtail or a similar content management system (CMS)
Proficiency with Django or a similar web framework
Proficiency with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Proficiency with marketing tools such as Marketo, Google Tag Manager/Analytics
Proficiency in debugging website performance and SEO issues
Familiarity with A/B testing tools like VWO or similar

In addition, we’re always looking for candidates who:

Have excellent communication skills, with an ability to explain ideas clearly, give and receive feedback, and foster a good rapport with teammates
Take pride in the quality of their code (Your code should be readable, testable, and understandable years later. You adhere to the Zen of Python.)
Work well in a fast-paced development environment with testing, continuous integration and multiple daily deploys
Have the ability to manage complexity in a large project, and incur technical debt only after considering the tradeoffs
Take a logical approach to problem solving that combines analytical thinking and intuition
