About the Role
We’re looking for a Marketing Engineer to bridge the gap between Marketing and Engineering. This is a hands-on role responsible for building and optimizing the pages, emails, and technical systems that fuel our growth. You’ll work across front-end frameworks (React, Next.js), a modern CMS (Builder.io), and occasionally dip into GraphQL and PHP layers to make everything work seamlessly.If you’re a web engineer with strong front-end skills, a practical understanding of back-end integrations, and a passion for creating performant, scalable marketing experiences, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
- Build and launch new marketing web pages from Figma designs using React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Migrate existing marketing pages from our legacy PHP stack into Builder.io, collaborating with product engineers to ensure consistency and smooth integrations.
- Develop, update, and QA marketing emails using Blueshift, with a focus on responsive design and deliverability.
- Partner closely with Product Marketing, Design, Growth Marketing, and Product Engineering to translate creative concepts into technical execution.
- Implement SEO best practices across pages, including structured data, metadata, and accessibility.
- Monitor and optimize for page performance (Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed Insights, Lighthouse).
- Support conversion rate optimization efforts by collaborating with the Marketing team on landing pages and emails, ensuring accurate setup, clean code, and reliable results.
- Occasionally troubleshoot issues across GraphQL and PHP layers that power dynamic content.
What Success Looks Like
- Marketing pages and emails are delivered accurately, on time, and at high quality.
- Site performance improves (LCP, INP, CLS, and overall PageSpeed scores).
- Pages adhere to SEO best practices and drive visibility and conversion.
- Conversion rate optimization tests are launched efficiently, with clean implementation and actionable learnings.
- Builder.io becomes the reliable home for all marketing surfaces, with clean migrations from legacy systems.
- Marketing surfaces integrate seamlessly with the core product, through proactive collaboration with product engineers.
- Marketing team feels supported with fast, reliable engineering execution.
What We’re Looking For
- 3–5 years experience in front-end development (React, Next.js, HTML, CSS, JS).
- Experience with CMS platforms (Builder.io experience a big plus).
- Hands-on experience building responsive marketing emails (Blueshift, MJML, or similar platforms).
- Familiarity with PHP and GraphQL for integration and troubleshooting.
- Strong grasp of web performance and SEO fundamentals.
- Experience implementing or supporting A/B tests for web pages and emails.
- Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Design, and Product Engineering teams.
- Comfortable working in GitHub or similar version control systems.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience working with Product Marketing or Growth teams.
- Knowledge of analytics tools (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.) to measure performance impact.
- Experience with design-to-code workflows using Figma.
- Familiarity with accessibility standards (WCAG).

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
