Recruitment: Apply For Buffer Recruitment 2026

What You’ll Do

• 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, BigQuery), 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 buffer.com running smoothly.
• Contribute to shaping engineering culture by pairing with other engineers, reviewing code, sharing knowledge about growth systems and marketing engineering patterns, and helping level up how we approach frontend work at Buffer.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• You have strong frontend foundations — solid experience with React, TypeScript, and modern web development. Our site runs on Next.js, but we value adaptability and curiosity over specific stack experience.
• You’re comfortable working across the stack when needed — writing backend logic, building API routes, getting data from various external systems, and connecting third-party integrations together.
• You’ve worked with marketing or growth teams and are comfortable with SEO, analytics, A/B testing, and conversion optimization. You’ve likely built referral systems, programmatic pages, or conversion funnels, and you know how to set up tracking, validate implementations, and measure impact accurately.
• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and thinking in systems — you bring clarity and ask good questions to move ideas forward even when requirements aren’t fully defined. You look at the full system, understanding how different technologies and goals connect, and build things that can scale and improve holistically rather than just solving point problems.
• You have a personal stake in the world of content creation, maybe you’ve run a newsletter, built an audience on social media, or regularly share your own work online. You’ve used Buffer before and care about the experience of planning, creating, and publishing content.
• You balance craft with pace — you ship quickly and learn from real usage, but you also care about quality. You notice UX details, maintain accessibility standards, think about performance, and understand when to polish versus when to iterate.
• You thrive in remote, async environments — you communicate clearly, support your teammates, and don’t wait for permission to make progress. You work effectively across marketing, design, and engineering, and can explain technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
• You’re fluent with AI tools and use them to work with more leverage and improve your efficiency. Bonus points if you’ve also integrated AI into user-facing marketing features at scale (like generating personalized content, automating asset creation, or building intelligent systems).
• You’ve likely been doing this for at least 5+ years, but depth of experience and impact matter more than a specific number of years.
