We are credited with doubling email revenue and increasing customer retention for more than 400 brands, including Express, Tommy Hilfiger, The North Face, Teleflora, and Bass Pro Shops. We have been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work by Glassdoor and ranked No. 241 on the Inc. 500 List, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.

Bluecore’s Integrations Engineering (IE) unit is a software engineering team dedicated to helping Bluecore customers extract maximum value from the Bluecore Retail Data Platform.  As an IE, you will bring your technical know-how to the main connections of the Bluecore engine to our clients - drawing meaningful intelligence from their websites and implementing marketing solutions that map to the customer’s vertical, audience behavior, and product mix.

As an Integrations Engineer, your principal responsibilities will lie in (1) maintaining and writing JavaScript-based integrations that live on client websites, (2) configuring, monitoring, and maintaining the intake and manipulation of client data, and (3) utilizing internal infrastructure, tooling and documentation to solve complex, often-unique, client-specific problems.
