We're here to cut through it- with AI that actually works for marketers.\nFrom AI-powered content creation to world-class CMS and the industry's most trusted experimentation platform, Optimizely is the tool modern marketers actually want to use. AI-Ready. Set. Go.\n10,000+ brands including H&M, PayPal, and Zoom already get it. So do Gartner, Forrester, and IDC, who consistently recognize us as leaders in MarTech.\nBut here's the thing about building great products: it takes great people. Our 1,600+ Optimizers across 12 global offices are curious, collaborative, and refreshingly human. We don't do corporate speak. We do real conversations, big ideas, and genuinely care for the work we make together.\nIf you want to be part of a team that's shaping the future of marketing technology - and actually enjoys doing it - you're in the right place.\nFind us on Instagram: @optimizely\nIntroduction\nProfessional Services delivery relies on patterns that repeat across many engagements: the same integration issue, the same onboarding friction, the same manual step. ESAI identifies these patterns and addresses them with AI, building solutions, agents, and automation that improve how engagements are delivered and how quickly customers realize value. Current platforms include UMP, which migrates customers to Optimizely from any source at scale, and MCP, an AI toolbox that accelerates CMS and Commerce upgrades. The role operates in two modes. You lead a solution through architecture, build, and enablement until it reaches general availability and Professional Services delivery can run it independently. After general availability, Delivery leads and you provide background support. On ESAI, you design and build the AI systems that advance Professional Services delivery. This is a small, growing team, so responsibilities span architecture, engineering, documentation, and enablement. We hold a high bar regardless of background. The role requires identifying where AI improves delivery economics, and building the solution\nJob Responsibilities\nArchitect AI-driven solutions. Design agents, integrations, and automation that change how engagements are delivered. Solutions should be reusable across accounts, not one-off scripts.\nLead delivery through GA. Own a solution end to end, architecture through build, until general availability and Professional Services delivery can run it independently. After GA, Delivery leads and you provide support.\nDocument solutions and processes. Document each solution so others can run, extend, or troubleshoot it without you. Documentation is part of the deliverable, not an afterthought.\nDrive adoption and gather feedback. Support the internal and Professional Services communities who use what you build, and gather their feedback to confirm solutions meet real needs. Adoption determines impact.\nCollaborate with architects and Delivery. Support fellow architects, and stay informed on Delivery and Product activity so solutions reflect field reality.\nKnowledge and Experience\nWe prioritize systems thinking and applied AI engineering skills.\nSystems perspective. You can reason about an entire architecture, data, integrations, content, commerce, identity, and the seams between them. You've worked across more than one category: CMS, commerce, ERP, CRM, data platforms, integration, and identity. You see Professional Services delivery as a system that can be redesigned with AI.\nRoot-cause analysis. You identify the actual source of recurring delivery friction, not just its symptoms, and can demonstrate your reasoning.\nApplied AI engineering. You have built and shipped production AI systems: agents, LLM-based workflows, and API integrations. You can design an approach and implement it yourself.\nProblem definition under ambiguity. You can scope and design a solution from incomplete or conflicting requirements, make sound tradeoffs, and defend your approach under pressure.\nRegional awareness. You understand the differences between EMEA and North America delivery, and design solutions for consistent execution across both.\nSkills and knowledge:\nGenerative AI and agentic engineering. Experience with LLM integration: prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, vector stores, and an orchestration framework such as LangChain or LlamaIndex.\n Cloud and MLOps. Working knowledge of a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including containers, CI/CD, and model monitoring.\nProduction-grade programming. Proficiency in Python or a comparable language, sufficient to build and ship production systems.\nSystems and integration design. Experience with distributed systems, API design, event-driven architecture, and third-party integrations.\nResponsible AI and security. Understanding of bias mitigation, model risk, privacy, compliance, and core security practices: authentication, authorization, encryption, and secrets management.\nOptimizely product knowledge. An advantage, not a requirement. It accelerates onboarding and collaboration with Delivery and Product.\nWe value demonstrated skills and outcomes over years of experience. Relevant backgrounds include solutions architecture, technical consulting, platform engineering, and product engineering.\nWhat success looks like\nYou deliver against the roadmap. UMP, MCP, and future initiatives progress from concept to general availability and adoption.\nYou turn challenges into solutions. You convert ambiguous problems into working solutions without waiting for a complete specification.\nYour work improves how we deliver. Solutions you build measurably improve delivery: fewer manual steps, faster engagements, and faster time-to-value for customers.\nOptimizely is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
