    Default job background
    Description

    At Optimizely, we're on a mission to help people unlock their digital potential. We do that by reinventing how marketing and product teams work to create and optimize digital experiences across all channels. With Optimizely One, our industry-first operating system for marketers, we offer teams flexibility and choice to build their stack their way with our fully SaaS, fully decoupled, and highly composable solution.

    We are proud to help more than 10,000 businesses, including H&M, PayPal, Zoom, and Toyota, enrich their customer lifetime value, increase revenue and grow their brands. Our innovation and excellence have earned us numerous recognitions as a leader by industry analysts such as Gartner, Forrester, and IDC, reinforcing our role as a trailblazer in MarTech.

With over 1500 Optimizers spread across 12 global locations, our diverse team embodies the "One Optimizely" spirit, emphasizing collaboration and continuous improvement, while fostering a culture where every voice is heard and valued.

    Introduction

    Our Data Science team harnesses big data, natural language processing, and machine learning to help create next generation products for Optimizely's Experimentation, CMS, e-commerce, and data platforms.

    This team emerged as a result of the acquisition of two start-ups (Peerius and Idio) that provided personalisation products for e-commerce and content. Over the past years, the consolidated company has improved the lives of customers such as Intel, HP, Fitch Ratings, Sainsbury's and many other brands. Episerver's acquisition of Optimizely has paved the way for interactions between data-driven experimentation and AI.

    This role is within a team whose primary focus lies in the following areas: Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Recommendation Systems. Our stack employs a variety of technologies, including (i) code written in Python, Scala, and TypeScript, (ii) data pipelines using Spark, Luigi, Kubernetes, and Terraform, (iii) prototyping and deploying Machine Learning solutions using Pandas, Scikit-learn, and Dask.
