In partnership with
TestGorilla just opened a Marketing Engineer role, a fully remote seat blending growth marketing with AI-driven automation.
Good news for South Africans: TestGorilla explicitly lists South Africa on their hire-from list. No fine print, no workaround needed.
The role covers website growth, conversion testing, and building automated lead workflows with tools like n8n and Clay. It pays roughly $4,000 to $5,050 a month, about R66,800 to R83,500 at today's rate, somewhere around 2.7x what you would earn locally.
If you've got a few years in CMS platforms, A/B testing, and marketing automation, and you're comfortable working async across time zones, this is worth a proper look today.

Remote Ready SA -- Wednesday, 8 July 2026
A fully remote Marketing Engineer role at TestGorilla, and yes, they explicitly hire from South Africa.
|
Only 4% of new job postings worldwide are fully remote right now, well down from the pandemic peak, and Deel's newest hiring report says nearly a third of companies plan to pull back on remote policies this year. Marketing is one of the few functions bucking that trend, mostly because it's absorbing the AI hiring boom instead of engineering: Deel clocked a 283% jump in AI-related roles, and a good chunk of those postings now sit inside marketing and growth teams. If you're earning in rand and hunting for a genuinely remote seat, the pool is shrinking, but the roles left standing want people who can pair marketing instinct with automation skills. Today's featured role is exactly that kind of seat.

Skill worth knowing
Clay and n8n are showing up in every automation-heavy listing
Clay (data enrichment plus AI workflows) and n8n (open source automation) keep pairing up in growth and demand-gen listings this week, including today's featured role. Together they let one marketing hire build the lead scoring, enrichment, and outreach pipelines that used to need a full RevOps team. If you've only used Zapier before, the jump isn't huge: Clay's free tier lets you build and test a real enrichment workflow this week, and n8n has a free self-hosted option with guided templates on its own site. Ship one finished workflow and put it in your portfolio, it's a concrete answer the next time a job spec lists automation as a requirement.
