Email Marketing Developer

Description

We're migrating an established ecommerce client from Mandrill to Maropost as part of a broader Shopify replatform. We have designers and strategy covered — the gap is a hands\-on email developer who can take designs and turn them into production\-ready, logic\-driven templates inside Maropost. You'll own the build\-out of roughly 100 transactional and lifecycle marketing emails: Liquid\-based templates, modular components, conditional logic for complex user segments, multi\-country/multi\-language support, and Shopify trigger integration. You'll also help audit and migrate existing Mandrill flows. * Build and deploy \~100 transactional and lifecycle emails in Maropost — order confirmations, shipping notifications, refunds, cancellations, account updates, abandoned cart, welcome/onboarding, reorder flows, product review requests, and promotional campaigns * Develop a reusable, modular component library plus a global header/footer system aligned with the client's new design system * Implement Liquid\-based dynamic templates with conditional logic for variables like customer type (e.g., preferred customer vs. unaffiliated buyer), autoship vs. non\-autoship, affiliate flows, subscription lifecycle events, and lead routing * Configure multi\-country and multi\-language localization * Audit the client's existing Mandrill email inventory and migrate flows to Maropost (or support a hybrid approach if needed) * Wire up Shopify triggers to Maropost flows; validate end\-to\-end functionality alongside the broader platform migration * Coordinate with subscription tooling (Seal Subscriptions) for subscription\-related email events * Support a dedicated QA phase covering business logic variability, localization, deliverability, and rendering across major clients and devices * Document templates, components, and conditional logic so the client's marketing team can maintain and extend the system post\-launch **Requirements** * 3\+ years of hands\-on email development experience with production builds inside an ESP * Direct Maropost experience strongly preferred. Will consider experienced developers from Klaviyo, Iterable, Braze, Customer.io, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or similar platforms if you can ramp quickly * Prior experience executing an ESP migration, ideally Mandrill another platform * Strong command of Liquid templating (or comparable ESP templating languages) * Expert\-level HTML/CSS for email: tables, inline styles, MSO conditional comments, dark mode handling, and responsive techniques that survive Outlook * Experience integrating an ESP with Shopify (or comparable ecommerce platform), including event\-triggered transactional flows * Comfort translating Figma designs into pixel\-faithful production templates * High attention to detail around conditional logic, edge cases, and localization variants * Familiarity with email QA tooling (Litmus, Email on Acid, or similar) **Nice to have:** * Maropost certifications or shippable Maropost portfolio work * Subscription / autoship email flow experience (Seal Subscriptions, ReCharge, Skio, etc.) * Multi\-language / multi\-country email programs at scale * Deliverability fundamentals (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, sender reputation, suppression management) * Working on migration timelines tied to a larger replatform launch **Benefits** * Type: Contract, with potential to extend into post\-launch optimization and remaining marketing campaigns * Duration: \~2 months of active build; target completion before late\-August UAT for a September launch * Commitment: Full\-time preferred; 30\+ hours/week minimum * Location: Remote
