About Us

Open Positions at MailChimp

MailChimp is a DIY email-newsletter service based in Atlanta that serves more than a 3 million users worldwide. We’re self-funded and profitable, and we’re growing fast.

We work in a collaborative environment where everyone’s expected to be creative. We use all kinds of different programing languages, our fearless leader keeps things interesting around here, and inspiring guests speak at our weekly Coffee Hours. And most importantly, we’re not afraid to start new things. Lots of new things. Crazy, ambitious new things.

We’re looking for smart, creative engineers who will give us their very best work. In exchange, we’ll give you some fantastic perks and benefits:

  • No VC funding! We're 100% organically grown and bootstrapped. If you don't know why that's good, you probably don't want to work here.
  • No salespeople.
  • We're a profitable, stable company that still feels like a startup.
  • We push code every 4 weeks.
  • Fully paid health insurance for you and your family
  • Fully paid dental insurance
  • Fully paid vision insurance
  • Disability insurance
  • A 401(k) plan
  • Free smartphones and monthly service (iPhone, Android, AT&T, Verizon-your choice)
  • An endless supply of t-shirts and hats

Deliverability Engineer

MailChimp sends billions of emails every month for more than two million users around the world. That’s a lot of email. Our delivery team is looking for a hard worker with a strong background in delivery, analytics, and system administration. You’ll identify delivery trends, uncover root causes, talk with ISPs when necessary, and brainstorm solutions. Team-player skills are a must, as you’ll work with engineers, data scientists, and other delivery experts to build out and optimize MailChimp’s infrastructure.

Software Engineer

We're looking for a software engineer to help us build the MailChimp application. We don’t care about pedigree or what languages or stacks you’ve worked in.

You’ll work with our product development team to build new functionality into our product, and our customer service team to resolve issues as they arise. We'll expect you to be motivated and creative in your work.

We allow for flexible hours and some telecommute options, but you need to be in the Atlanta office on a regular basis. We'll help with relocation.
