Technical CRM & QA Specialist (Part-Time Contract)

About the Role

We are looking for a Technical CRM & QA Specialist to support the reliable execution of our lifecycle email and SMS programs. Working with our lifecycle and engineering teams, you will bring deep Braze expertise to campaign launches, active automations, and technical troubleshooting.

You will QA complex Canvases, validate Liquid logic and message rendering, investigate unexpected behavior, and help ensure messages reach the intended audiences at the right time. This is a part-time contract role averaging approximately 10 hours per week, with potential to grow as our roadmap evolves.

What You’ll Do

• Canvas and campaign QA: Test Braze Canvases and campaigns before launch, including audience segments, triggers, branching paths, and entry and exit criteria.
• Personalization and rendering: Validate Liquid logic, fallback states, email HTML, responsive layouts, dark mode, links, tracking, and UTM parameters across clients and devices.
• SMS QA: Check message content, character counts, GSM-7 and Unicode encoding, shortened links, and opt-out functionality.
• Deployment and monitoring: Review targeting, rate limits, frequency caps, and quiet hours before launch. Monitor audience flow, delivery, and conversion tracking after launch.
• Automation audits: Periodically check active flows to confirm that data inputs, triggers, and messaging behavior remain accurate.
• Technical troubleshooting: Investigate delivery failures, webhook errors, Connected Content issues, data sync discrepancies, and other unexpected Braze behavior.
• Bug documentation: Write clear, reproducible tickets with diagnostic steps, relevant context, and recommended fixes for engineering or other partners.
