About EmailOctopus
EmailOctopus is a simple, intuitive and affordable email marketing platform trusted by global companies such as Jaguar Land Rover and local names like Outbreak Festival and Kendall Calling. We're a small, remote-first team making a big impact - helping our users send over 10 billion emails a year.
The role
You'll join a 6-person product development team, working across our modern Symfony and Vue-based platform. You'll help architect, build and scale new features, while improving the robustness of our high-volume email delivery infrastructure.

You'll contribute to key projects like improving our drag-and-drop email editor, scaling our analytics infrastructure or refreshing our automation builder. We ship every day, and you'll take ownership of projects from design to deployment.
