Web Developer

Since you’ve landed on this page, you already know Hedvig is a mover and shaker in insurtech, and think you might have what it takes to join us. As the only loved insurance company in Sweden (in the world?), we’ve proven that it’s possible to disrupt an entire industry with people’s best interest at heart. But our journey is just beginning.

Our web development team is a relatively small & skilled team that is working hard to build nordic’s most loved insurance company. We work closely with product, design, back end, as well as app developers to create the best experience for our customers.

We work mostly on developing our public website that is powered by React, Emotion which is basically styled-components, and TypeScript. On top of this, we also use Koa, GraphQL with Apollo, and the CMS Storyblok. We hold open-source projects near and dear and hence most of our source code is public. As a developer in our team, you can check out our GitHub account to see what you’ll work on day-to-day if you wish.

What about the role?

As a Web developer in our team, you will be jointly solving complex problems through developing scalable solutions. You could be developing components for our web app using React. You might have to make some designs live using CSS. More important than all of this, you will be part of a team that is value-driven, enjoys pair programming, and takes code reviews seriously. We will all be learning and sharing knowledge together.

What about you? We believe that a good developer is a problem-solver who is capable of learning any new tech stack. Our ideal candidate has great webpack skills and likes tech-savvy frontend work as well as a strong interest in architecture & a good understanding of frontend applications’ design. Having an eye for design is indeed a plus. The closer your experience to our tech stack the better but generally we believe the following would make you a perfect fit:

• You are fluent in Javascript for web production preferably React andNode.js

• You know HTML, CSS, TypeScript, and preferably how to work with a headless CMS

• CI/CD & Agile working experience We highly value both a good attitude and personality and place a lot of emphasis on these "soft skills".

With the right levels of both, we are willing to hire and cross-train developers with experience in other tech stacks. Further, we look for developers who aim high and don't play it safe. We love creative problem-solvers who are not afraid to try new things and fail. We expect our developers to be the kind of team players who enjoy solving problems with their team.

What about us?

As part of the Hedvig team, you will quickly notice that "general truths" are not accepted without being questioned. We're an enthusiastic group of people who love to challenge each other to find the best way forward. We don't care who says something, we care about what's being said. We put a lot of effort into building a trusting culture where freedom, collective thinking, and individual ownership have center stage. We're not perfect – far from it – but we talk about and learn from our mistakes and imperfections to continuously get better. As individuals, as a team, and as a company. And we have a lot of fun along the way!
