Optimizely Jobs in Pennsylvania (NOW HIRING)

About Us
Life Science Connect is transforming from a traditional B2B publisher into a modern data authority. We build the specialized platforms, identity systems, and intelligence layers that help life sciences professionals accelerate development and discover market opportunities. We are leaning heavily into a high-efficiency, decoupled stack and modern, AI-augmented engineering workflows to build products that matter.
The Mission
We are looking for a hands-on, high-velocity Full-Stack Engineer to join our core product engineering team. You will not be moving tickets across a board all day or sitting in endless alignment meetings. You will be building, iterating, and shipping.
This role is focused on expanding our digital footprint: rapidly developing our internal company intelligence platform, deploying customer-facing tools, optimizing headless Optimizely integrations, and expand our architecture to new product lines. You will work directly with our Principal Software Engineer to turn product initiatives into high-utility, revenue-generating reality.
What You'll Actually Do

• Build with Leverage: Own the implementation of new product features and decoupled architecture using Next.js and React maintaining a relentless focus on performance and minimal technical debt.
• Orchestrate Agentic Workflows: Integrate Cursor and agentic engineering methodologies into your daily development loop. We don't just tolerate AI-assisted coding; we expect you to master context window management, multi-file prompting, and local execution blocks to achieve a massive output multiplier.
• Integrate Headless Infrastructure: Develop clean, reusable front-end components that hook seamlessly into a Headless CMS (Optimizely/ODP), ensuring our content delivery is lightning-fast at the edge.
• Collaborate across the Core: Partner directly with our Data and DevOps teams to ensure everything we ship maintains data integrity across our Snowflake core, supports progressive profiling, and moves through our automated CI/CD pipeline cleanly.

What We Are Looking For

• 3+ Years of Experience: You've spent significant time in production codebases building modern, full-stack web applications.
• The Modern Stack: Deep familiarity with Next.js, React, RESTful APIs, and cloud deployments (Vercel/GitHub Actions).
• Augmented Engineering Native: You have spent the last year moving past basic code completion and into deep, hands-on usage of Cursor and agentic software tools. You know how to guide an LLM to build exactly what you need without letting it create a mountain of spaghetti code.
• Product Mentality: You care about the "why" behind the code. You understand how an elegant interface or integration translates to user retention, direct data-sharing utility, and business revenue. We see personalization and augmenting our processes with intelligence is the key to success.
• Autonomy: You are comfortable working in a distributed environment where documentation matters, specifications drive development, and independent problem-solving is prized above micromanagement.

We Invest in YOU
