We are looking for a Senior Email Deliverability Engineer to join our Imunify360 Email team, which is building a smart, automated email protection system designed to ensure clean outbound traffic and preserve IP reputation for hosting providers.

In this role, you will bring recent, hands-on experience operating and launching email traffic at scale. Your primary focus will be on email-specific behavior, including traffic warm-up, IP and domain reputation management, abuse prevention, and deliverability validation during initial production rollouts.

You will play a key role in ensuring that newly launched services achieve stable deliverability, maintain a clean IP pool reputation, and do not introduce systemic risk, while contributing to the development of high-performance tools for spam detection, email infrastructure protection, and scalable deliverability.
