About this role

Requirements

• 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

• 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
