About The Position

At Emma, we’re looking for a driven, curious software engineer to join our team. The Emma Engineering organization is made up of passionate engineers focused on building elegant, reliable tooling that helps our customers succeed in their email marketing efforts. Our teams operate with clear ownership boundaries, allowing engineers to specialize, deepen their expertise, and build sustainable software that’s easy to support and evolve over time. We take pride in crafting creative, scalable solutions for a wide range of customers—and we genuinely enjoy doing it together. This is an entry-level, Software Engineer role. On the frontend, we work primarily with React and supporting libraries, including a proprietary UI toolkit. Our backend systems are Python-driven, Django, and AWS-based. Experience in any of these areas is a plus, but a strong desire to learn and grow across the full stack is essential. Within your first six months, you’ll also have opportunities to contribute to additional areas of development as you continue to build your skills and expand your technical foundation.

Requirements

Foundational experience or exposure to modern technologies such as React, Python, AWS, or similar tools
Demonstrated curiosity and willingness to learn new technologies, frameworks, and best practices
Passion for building quality products with the end user in mind
Comfortable working across different areas of the codebase and contributing where needed
Strong collaboration skills and openness to feedback and continuous improvement
Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude) to speed up your work, and able to critically review, test, and own the code they help produce

Responsibilities

Build and ship code that solves real problems for real customers. Engineering is central to what we do, and you’ll work closely with your team to plan, experiment, and deliver impactful solutions.
Collaborate in code reviews, sharing ideas, learning from others, and helping raise the bar on quality and best practices.
Get hands-on with how Emma builds intuitive, scalable tooling that helps marketing teams do their best work.
Have fun while doing it! We care deeply about our customers, move with intention, and genuinely enjoy building great products together.
Use AI-assisted tools thoughtfully to research, prototype, and build, while learning how to apply them responsibly in a production codebase.
