Contractor: Full Stack Engineer, Marketing

Why you’ll love this role: As a Full Stack Engineer supporting the Marketing department at Newsela, you will keep our websites fast, reliable, and fresh, and build the integrations and programs that help them perform. Marketing relies on its web presence to tell our story, generate demand, and measure what works, and you will be the engineer who makes that possible. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to deliver high-quality work, build strong habits around velocity and craft, and grow alongside experienced teammates. You will own assigned features from implementation through release, with guidance on scoping and design from senior engineers, and you will use AI tools as a standard part of how you build, test, and troubleshoot. You will partner closely with Marketing, Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to turn real business needs into clear, actionable work, and then ship it. What You'll Be Doing: • Deliver High-Quality Work, On Time: Write high-quality, well-tested code across our marketing websites and campaign landing pages using AI-assisted development practices to maintain high velocity and standard-setting execution. • Own Features from Implementation to Release: Own assigned web features, interactive tools, and campaign landing pages through build, testing, and launch, with guidance on architecture and scoping from senior engineering partners. • Maintain and Improve Our Websites: Handle the ongoing maintenance, updates, and enhancements that keep our marketing sites accurate, secure, and performing well for visitors and for the Marketing team. • Build Integrations, Data Pipelines, and MarTech Connections: Help build, integrate, and maintain connections between Webflow, Marketo, Salesforce, and internal APIs to ensure accurate lead flow, data hygiene, and robust analytics tracking (GA4, GTM, RedTrack, Pendo, and DataGrail). • Write Well-Tested Software: Meet the team’s quality bar with thoughtful automated and manual testing, incorporating AI-assisted development practices as part of your standard workflow. • Help Validate AI-Integrated Features: Contribute to the testing and validation of AI-integrated features, with support from senior engineers on evaluation approach. • Turn Ambiguity into Action: Partner with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to understand requirements and raise the questions that sharpen ambiguous work into clear, actionable tasks. • Contribute to Reliable Systems: Follow best practices for observability and quality, and use AI tooling to help troubleshoot and resolve issues quickly. • Support Privacy & In-App Ops: Assist with user onboarding and event tracking in Pendo while supporting automated compliance, consent management, and privacy workflows via DataGrail. • Support Smooth Production Releases: Follow established deployment practices and monitor system stability after release so launches land cleanly. Why you’re a great fit: • 2+ years of professional experience in software engineering, ideally with exposure to marketing websites, web applications, or similar customer-facing products. • Full Stack & Webflow Foundation: Hands-on experience developing within Webflow supported by strong foundational front-end skills (HTML5, CSS/SCSS, JavaScript) and back-end integration capabilities. • Analytics & Tagging Expertise: Demonstrated experience configuring tags, triggers, variables, custom event listeners, and data pipelines in Google Tag Manager (GTM), RedTrack, and Google Analytics (GA4). • MarTech Ecosystem: Exposure to or experience working with enterprise marketing platforms (Marketo, Salesforce) and product analytics/experience tools (Pendo). • Quality-Minded: Experience writing well-tested software, using version control and code
