Senior Software Engineer
Work pragmatically with evolving tech to build services that help sellers succeed in life changing moments. You’ll shape end-to-end products with impact, ownership, and long-term thinking.
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 great experience and as successful as possible. The Seller domain is responsible for the services that help sellers maximize their opportunities in the housing market.
As a Senior Software Engineer in the Seller domain, you’ll work with an experienced cross functional team, covering user-facing functionality as well as backend logic. You’ll take responsibility for the bigger picture, both technically to shape our products.
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 therefore value the ability to quickly learn new languages, frameworks, and systems more than prior experience with any specific stack.
