About This Role
This email development role is referred to in Stitch as the Technical Producer role. You’ll be consulting alongside other Stitchers on our Delivery team, including Solution Architects, Business Strategists, and Marketing Strategists, to deliver top-tier marketing solutions centered around Braze for our clients. You will code and document innovative email solutions that leverage automation, dynamic content, data-driven segmentation, and other advanced capabilities to drive higher engagement and response rates. In addition to coding awesome emails, you’ll be meeting regularly with our clients to discuss solutions and best practices. This role requires a unique combination of development expertise and strong presentation skills.
What You’ll Do

- Translate other templating languages, such as Handlebars and Ampscript, to Liquid

- You consistently meet deadlines. We know, we know, this seems obvious! But it’s important. We are a professional services business, so our success depends on the satisfaction of our clients. Meeting deadlines gives the Stitchers you’re collaborating with enough time to complete the tasks that are dependent on your work and ensures that our clients are successful.
- You manage your weekly schedule well to consistently meet Stitch’s broader quarterly billable targets. You’ll be juggling a variety of activities during the week including heads-down coding, client meetings, Stitch office hours, pursuing certifications, and time-tracking.
