Senior Engineer - Growth Marketing

About Buffer

We create social media and brand-building software for small businesses, creators, and individuals. Our mission is to provide essential tools to help small businesses get off the ground and grow. Through exceptional customer service and uplifting content, we help our customers believe they can succeed and do good along the way.

Buffer is a fully distributed team, and we’ve always aimed to do things a little differently ce the early days, we’ve focused on building one of the most unique and fulfilling workplaces by rethinking a lot of traditional practices. We also default to transparency, so you can read all about our metrics, and our successes and failures along the way on our Transparency Dashboard.

We’re united by Buffer’s values, and we hire and work from all over the world. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive work environment, and we are building a culture where underrepresented groups are welcome and can flourish. Please note that we do travel to work together in person once or twice per year, and those events are highly encouraged to build deeper connections among our small team.

As you get to know Buffer and consider joining the journey, feel free to read more from Kirsti and Sabreen as they share their first experiences with Buffer, as well as from Hailley, who captured why she still calls Buffer home after 8+ years.

We’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer to join our Growth Marketing team. This is a hands‑on engineering role building the web experiences and systems that help Buffer grow.

The work spans building features and pages across  — interactive tools, benchmarks, referral systems, conversion flows — along with the technical implementation behind them: integrations with marketing tools, analytics and tracking systems, SEO implementations, and backend logic that powers our marketing features.

We need someone who’s comfortable across the full frontend scope — strong with React and modern web development, but also capable of diving into backend logic, connecting third‑party APIs, debugging tracking pipelines, and figuring out what they don’t know.

You’ll collaborate closely with Simon (Director of Marketing), David (Senior Design Engineer), and Kate (Senior Designer). The team values pace and iteration — we ship quickly, learn from real usage, and improve as we go. But we also care about craft — noticing the UX details and maintaining standards while keeping momentum.

• Lead growth engineering projects, like implementing a localization framework to support international audiences, building referral program logic and attribution systems, rebuilding our tracking implementation to improve accuracy and reliability. You’ll own projects from concept to launch, working closely with marketing, design, and other engineers.

• Build features on Buffer’s marketing site — ship landing pages, interactive tools, and conversion flows that help people discover and try Buffer. Create benchmarks, calculators, and utility content that educate users and drive engagement.

• Shape marketing platform capabilities by building systems and frameworks that let the team move faster. Create A/B testing infrastructure, develop programmatic page generation for SEO/AEO, implement content management patterns, and build reusable components that make future projects easier to ship.

• Drive experimentation and optimization — implement A/B tests, optimize conversion funnels, and help the team learn faster through code. Set up experiments, validate results, and iterate based on what we learn. Balance moving quickly with maintaining quality.

• Improve foundations by maintaining integrations with our marketing technology stack (Segment, GTM, Mixpanel, Big Query), upgrading dependencies, optimizing performance, and ensuring accessibility. You’ll also participate in our on‑call rotation and contribute to ongoing system health — fixing bugs, addressing security vulnerabilities, and other improvements that keep  running smoothly.

• Contribute to shaping engineering culture by pairing with other engineers, reviewing code, sharing knowledge about growth systems and marketing engineering…
