Back-end Optimizely CMS Engineer

Responsibilities

Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for development of backend and frontend code development for our two externally facing websites as well as our home office intranet, all of which are built upon the Optimizely (formerly EPiServer) content management system. The primary need for this role is back-end Optimizely CMS engineering. The team is planning an upgrade and will use Content Graph for data retrieval.

You will execute on design patterns and architectures defined by the leads on the team. You will participate in all aspects of the Agile workflow, attending meetings with stakeholders to assist in defining requirements, and assist in helping our team to meet, and to grow to predict the needs of our stakeholders. You will grow our test coverage by participating in Test Driven Development, building both unit tests and end to end tests as part of the solution development. You will participate in troubleshooting during production issues.
