Description

We’re starting a new chapter as a combined business with Optimizely as we proudly join forces to create a new wave of digital leaders by transforming digital experience creation and optimization. In September 2021 we will move forward as a combined business under the name Optimizely. 

Episerver is consistently ranked as a market leader in digital experience creation, supporting the digital journeys of 9,000+ global brands, while Optimizely is the world’s leader in experience optimization. Combined, these two powerhouses create the most advanced digital experience platform in the industry. Together our mission is simple; we empower people to unlock their digital potential by giving them the tools and the confidence they need to operate freely so that they can create and optimize digital experiences that result in outsized outcomes for businesses and people. 

The scale of our product has created tremendous potential for growth with Episerver + Optimizely – growth of teams, growth of influence, and growth of personal careers. If you are looking to work on the next generation of digital technologies in a fast-paced, hyper-growth environment, apply! We’re just getting started...



From strategy, to design, development, and QA, our team rapidly produces A/B, multivariate, and personalization tests so our clients can reach important business goals and drive more conversions. 

The ODS team is currently made up of 2 strategists, a project manager, 2 UX/UI designers, 5 front-end developers, and 2 QA analysts. We have folks in North America, South America, and Europe (soon expanding to Australia!), so you’ll have lots of couches to crash on when the travel economy opens back up. We are passionate about driving results for our clients, exploring new ideas together, and learning from “failure” (but is it really failure if you learn and iterate?) We also firmly believe that work should be fun and since we will be spending a lot of (virtual) time together - trust and laughter is a must.

ODS is on track to double our revenue in 2021 and need to set up a path for that rapid growth and long-term success. To that end, we are seeking a hands-on senior developer to lead our development strategy and team. Someone to elevate our team, streamline our processes, and expand our service offerings.
