At Hemnet, Sweden’s #1 property portal, we’re continuing to grow and evolving our architecture to support more scalable and flexible solutions. That means keeping what works — like Ruby — while thoughtfully introducing new technologies where they add real value.

We’re now strengthening our organization and are looking for developers who are confident working with Ruby and open to contributing to our journey towards a more balanced tech stack.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving real problems, wants to work in a modern development team, and takes pride in writing well-structured, maintainable code that delivers clear value.

What You’ll Do

• Contribute to the development of new features and the improvement of existing ones
  

• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other developers to shape our products
  

• Take part in architectural and technical discussions and decisions
  

• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code — and review others’ code with care
  

• Support and maintain production systems, ensuring stability and performance
  

• Work in pairs or mobs to learn together and improve quality
  

• Help plan the team’s work, clarify and prioritize the backlog, and break down goals into actionable steps

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience with Ruby (or another similar language)
  

• Experience working with RESTful APIs
  

• Knowledge of software design principles, automated testing, and CI/CD
  

• Familiarity with PostgreSQL and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, CircleCI)
  

• You understand the importance of performance, code quality, and team collaboration
  

• You’re used to working in agile environments with cross-functional teams

Bonus If You Have

• Experience with Node.js, NestJS, or modern JavaScript (ES6+)
  

• Knowledge of GraphQL and experience building or using APIs in that format.
  

We don’t expect you to know everything on day one — but we do expect you to be curious, open, and willing to grow alongside us.

Ruby • Node.js • Go • Nest • Next • React • GraphQL • CircleCI • GitHub • PostgreSQL • AWS • Datadog • Sentry
