What We're Looking For
8-10 years of experience in email deliverability, messaging infrastructure, or a closely related technical discipline (e.g., ESP/ISP relations, sending infrastructure, trust & safety for messaging platforms)
This is a foundational hire for our deliverability function. We're looking for someone who has ideally built or scaled deliverability practices before, not just operated within an existing playbook
Working knowledge of email deliverability fundamentals, including authentication protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), IP and domain reputation, and how ISPs evaluate inbox placement
Experience managing or supporting IP warm up processes and sender reputation through migrations or platform transitions
Comfort analyzing deliverability data (bounce rates, complaint rates, engagement metrics) and translating findings into clear recommendations
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and non technical audiences
Ability to manage multiple customer situations at once, prioritizing based on urgency and impact
Experience establishing processes, documentation, or best practices in a technical specialty area, whether as a first hire, early team member, or practice lead
