About Slate At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.
Who We Are Looking For Slate is looking for an
Email Developer
who lives in
Salesforce Marketing Cloud (SFMC) : building modular emails, writing AMPscript/SSJS, shaping JSON for dynamic content & APIs, querying Data Extensions with SQL, wiring Journey Builder/Automation Studio, and shipping high-quality, tested messages at speed. If you’d rather code than present, this is your role.
What You Get To Do
Build and launch emails in Content Builder using modular, reusable components (MJML/HTML, responsive CSS, design tokens).
Hand-code responsive HTML/CSS emails with cross-client compatibility (Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail).
Write AMPscript for personalization, dynamic content blocks, error handling, and data lookups (e.g., LookupOrderedRows, UpsertDE, FormatDate, BuildRowsetFromJSON).
Use SSJS & WSProxy for advanced logic, API interactions, and scale (create/update DEs, triggered sends, asset ops).
Build and maintain Journeys (entry criteria, pathing, decision splits, event-based triggers).
Write SQL against SFMC Data Views/DEs to power segments and QA.
Integrate with systems via REST/SOAP, SFTP, and CloudPages endpoints; set up triggered sends/transactional definitions.
QA end-to-end: device rendering (Litmus/Email on Acid), link & image checks, tracking parameters, and fallbacks.
Document and templatize: maintain a living component library, usage docs, and runbooks for common tasks.
What You Bring To The Team
3–5+ years building in SFMC (Content Builder, Journey Builder, Automation Studio, Contact Builder, DE relationships).
Strong AMPscript and SSJS skills (including WSProxy patterns).
Solid SQL experience for SFMC Data Views and production DEs.
Comfortable with REST/SOAP APIs, JSON, and CloudPages (server-side form handling, tokenized links).
Expert in email HTML/CSS (hybrid & fluid responsive), image optimization, fallback techniques, and modular systems.
Knowledgeable about transactional vs. commercial sends and compliance enforcement.
Habitual debugger: logs to DEs, uses try/catch patterns, and creates QA proofing data.
Nice to have
MJML pipelines, build tooling (Node, npm scripts), and design tokenization.
Einstein features (Send Time Optimization, Content Selection) used in production.
Automotive/e-commerce lifecycle experience (pre-order, order, accessory, warranty, service).
DAY-TO-DAY OUTPUT (FIRST 90 DAYS)
Convert existing emails into a componentized library (headers, footers, card modules, offer blocks, legal patterns).
Build a Journey + Automation for a transactional or lifecycle use case with full QA and rollback plan.
Ship ad hoc promotional sends.
Establish a QA checklist and seed-list process; add automated link/image checks where possible.
SUCCESS MEASURES (KPIs)
Build velocity: time from brief → code complete → UAT sign-off (target: under 48–72 hours for standard modules).
Defect rate:
Reusability: % of sends built entirely from approved components (target: >80% by day 90).
Data reliability: no JOIN errors;
Deliverability hygiene: bounce/complaint rates within benchmarks; no compliance violations.
How We Work
IC role (no strategy deck duty), reporting to Lifecycle/CRM Lead; partners tightly with Design, Data, and Engineering.
Tools: SFMC (all the above), GitHub/GitLab, Jira, Litmus/Email on Acid.
PLEASE INCLUDE
2–3 AMPscript snippets (personalization logic, DE lookups, error handling).
1 SSJS/WSProxy example (asset/DE ops or triggered send).
1 SQL example used in SFMC (dedupe + attribution).
Links or screenshots of responsive module components you’ve built.
SAMPLE TAKE-HOME (1–3 HOURS, REAL WORK WE DO)
Build a modular promo email with: dynamic hero, product cards (x4), conditional legal, and locale-aware dates.
