We usually respond within two weeks
At Hemnet, we build one of Sweden’s most widely used digital services. Every day, we help people make some of the biggest decisions of their lives. That puts high demands on reliability, quality, and long-term thinking and on the engineers who build our product.
We’re now looking for a Senior Software Engineer for the Seller Domain to help us continue developing Hemnet. For us, how you think as an engineer matters more than which programming languages you’ve worked with.
About the role 🍏
At Hemnet, we believe selling your home should be a positive and successful experience. The Seller domain builds the services that help homeowners maximize their opportunities in the housing market.

You’ll take ownership beyond day-to-day development contributing to technical direction, shaping our products, and ensuring we build solutions that create real value for Sellers.
Our current stack includes Ruby and Node.js on the backend and Next.js on the frontend. That said, we’re pragmatic about technology and see it as something that evolves over time. We value curiosity and adaptability the ability to quickly learn new languages, frameworks, and systems is more important to us than experience with any specific tech stack.

You have several years of experience building and maintaining production-grade web systems.
You’re comfortable reasoning about architecture, scalability, and long-term maintainability, and you pick up new technologies and codebases quickly.
You care deeply about code quality, clarity, and testability.
You enjoy collaborating with others and actively share your knowledge with the team.
