Job Description

About the Company

We are a Stanford-founded, pre-IPO startup building the future of AI-driven communication. Our platform enables hyper-personalized outreach at scale, and we’re already seeing traction across multiple high-growth verticals. Backed by elite investors and operators from the Valley, we’re assembling a team of A-players to take us to the next level.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Email Deliverability Engineer who will take full ownership of our outbound email infrastructure and strategy. This role is critical to scaling our customer acquisition efforts and ensuring world-class inbox placement and sender reputation. You’ll work cross-functionally with engineering, marketing, and product teams to drive measurable impact.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain systems that maximize email deliverability across major providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.)
  • Manage and monitor DNS records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI) and ensure proper configuration
  • Develop and execute IP warming strategies and domain reputation best practices
  • Analyze delivery data using Postmaster Tools, SNDS, and other reporting platforms
  • Monitor and improve email sending practices, including bounce handling and suppression lists
  • Collaborate with engineering on sending architecture, rate limiting, and queue management
  • Stay current on email compliance (CAN-SPAM, GDPR, etc.) and adjust practices accordingly
  • Educate internal teams on optimal sending frequency, volume, and content practices

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience managing email deliverability at scale
  • Deep understanding of SMTP protocols, DNS records, and email authentication standards
  • Familiarity with cloud email services like SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, etc.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills—comfortable digging through headers and logs
  • Experience with blacklists, deliverability tools, and remediation strategies
  • Bonus: background in AI-powered outreach tools, SaaS, or marketing automation platforms

Why Join Us

  • Equity-only role with significant ownership in a pre-IPO company
  • Work with a brilliant team of Stanford engineers and seasoned founders
  • Massive impact from Day 1—your work will shape the company's growth trajectory
  • Fast-paced, no-BS culture focused on building and execution

Interested?

This is more than a job—it’s a chance to build infrastructure that powers the future of intelligent communication. If you're passionate about deliverability and want to join a rocket ship early, we want to hear from you.
