• Build modular and flexible components (blocks) for dynamic email assembly.
• Ensure cross-client compatibility (desktop, webmail, and mobile).
• Optimize for dark mode and ensure WCAG accessibility compliance.
• Collaborate with designers and CRM managers to implement and test layouts - bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Conduct thorough testing and QA using tools such as Litmus or Email on Acid.
• Provide documentation and usage guidelines for the delivered templates.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in HTML email coding (not web front-end — true email HTML).
• Familiarity with Adobe Journey Optimizer or Adobe Campaign (incl. AJOs template engine (Handlebars.js) and basic understanding of CMS/DAM systems for asset management)
• Strong understanding of:
  • Table-based layouts and inline CSS
  • Responsive and hybrid email design patterns
  • Email client quirks (especially Outlook)

• Experience using testing tools like Litmus, Email on Acid, or Testi@.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to pixel-perfect implementation and brand consistency
• Coding that balances aesthetics and functionality with load times and spam filters.
• Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality, well-documented code.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Figma to HTML handoff.
• Familiarity with marketing automation tools or CRM campaign workflows.
• Basic understanding of personalization or dynamic content setup in AJO.
