Overview:
Does releasing code fast to production excite
you? You feel constrained by keeping your code local and having to wait
for ever for it to show up in production before an actual customer sees
it? Do you not only want to push code to production each day but also
have a clear indication of its impact on user interaction and
conversion? Have you heard of or come up with improvements for our site
and wondered, why haven’t we tried that? Do you want to have the
findings of your work influence product backlogs across the
organization?
If so, we have the opportunity for you! We are excited to announce a new role at Orbitz Site Optimization UI Engineer.
This role will work closely with our product leaders, feature teams,
engineers, UX designers, and the site optimization team to test as many
ideas as physically possible, and to do so as fast as possible with the
goal of learning through experimentation. If you don’t like the idea of
making multiple changes across the site each day and having several
experiments running in production at once, then this isn’t the role for
you. But, if you think you have the drive, ideas, and passion for
testing and quick iteration then there is no better match then the role
of Site Optimization UI Engineer.
The
Site Optimization UI Engineer role will utilize client side testing
tools to experiment daily in production. The focus of this role will be
on running client side tests, providing input to help improve current
frameworks, and build out more robust server side tests when needed.
While there are several teams across the org implementing a/b and
multivariate experiments, this role will focus on fast client side tests
that will often be injected directly into production outside of the
standard release schedules across all areas and channels of the OWW
global websites.
To
succeed in this role you must possess a combination of curiosity,
technical savvy, analytical skills, communication excellence, and a
drive to push boundaries and move fast. This is an excellent
opportunity to make a significant contribution at Orbitz Worldwide.
Responsibilities:
- Build, deploy, and monitor client side tests to production across all brands and channels
- Participate in test idea and hypothesis generation
- Iterate quickly on consumer-facing experiments across our global family of travel sites.
- Write front-end code in JSP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Collaborating with Funnel Optimization to improve test framework capabilities
- Collaborate with UX team and product verticals on UI and UX decisions.
- Prototype experimental features.
- Pro-actively look for ways to make our sites better.
- Advocate for best practices, great usability and exceptional quality.
- Gather, analyze, and present results of site optimization tests.
- Socialize all changes being proposed/developed to relevant designers, QEs, developers, and product specialists.
Qualifications:
- Knowledge of web development with HTML, JSP, and CSS/LESS.
- Solid understanding of JavaScript and Ajax - with and without use of a library/framework.
- Extreme curiosity about how features and the user experience can be improved and a high degree of innovation in looking for new alternatives to be tested.
- A curiosity of data: accessing it, looking at it, questioning it, and using it to tell a story.
- Experience building consumer-facing features.
- Demonstrated design and UX sensibilities.
- Strong logic programming ability.
- Understanding of client-side performance and how to improve it.
- Experience with a version control systems.
- A strong attention to detail.
- Adobe Test & Target experience a plus.
- Knowledge and curiosity of individual browsers’ strengths, quirks, and limitations.
