Introduction

We are looking for a Software Engineer II for one of our core CMS product teams in central Stockholm, to help us shape the future experiences of Optimizely’s products and offerings. These are exciting times: We’re at the top of industry analyst rating, we have just released a SaaS version of our CMS with the innovative Visual Builder. Our engineers are excited to take the product they love and have been working on for many years to the next level. And here is your opportunity to join them, as we are expanding these teams.

 

There are opportunities regardless of if you have a more back-end or a more front-end focused profile. You would be joining a group of teams with many very senior engineers with diverse skills, so personal and cultural fit will be a key differentiator alongside skills and experience.

 

As a Software Engineer II you independently deliver projects from design to production, with consistently high quality. You take an active role in the team’s work and make steady progress, communicate quickly and clearly and proactively engage e.g. by giving code reviews. We value building robust solutions that can live on and evolve over many years, while always prioritizing spending our time on what provides the most value possible to our customers.

 

You are self-motivated and like to collaborate with your colleagues to find the best solution that solves the problem, considering architecture, cost of development and cost of ownership. You are motivated by building the best solutions for both end users and other developers. You are comfortable with working in a fast-moving agile environment and working closely with User Experience Designers, Product Managers, and other stakeholders.

 

We work in hybrid mode and collaborate closely, in the office as well as remotely. We are just about to move into our brand-new office in its optimal commuting location at Hamngatan 26. We value work-life balance and while we are a global company and collaborate across time zones we prioritize respecting local working hours, family commitments as well taking care of your physical and mental health. We believe you will learn a lot here, we also believe that you bring new knowledge and ideas to us. We want you to thrive here for a long time, as many of us have. Optimizely is the best place to be your best!
