Senior SRE Engineer

Who We Are

Stensul is transforming the way enterprise marketers work. Our email generation platform is centralized, scalable, and pre-configured for each brand. By bypassing all of the back-and-forths with designers, developers, and QA, marketers can focus on crafting content that inspires and delivers real results. Build emails in our platform, and then instantly send them out through your ESP or Marketing Cloud. With Stensul, marketers are reimagining what’s possible with email.
