Role? You are a Senior Backend developer, or at least you have racked up a lot of experience in backend development and feel secure in your role and with different technologies. You are able to independently lead the development of new features and enjoy discussing and debating code and solutions with your peers. You like sharing your knowledge inside and outside your team and above all, you are curious and continuously strive to learn new things.

Tech stack? As we are threading into new domains the languages we choose might change and you will be a vital part of choosing our path forward. We do have some wishes on what kind of experience you have in the past

- Experience with Golang and Kotlin
- Skilled in C#
- The ability to design highly useable APIs.
- Experience in asynchronous messaging (Kafka)
- Some experience in designing/developing fault-tolerant/gracefully degradable services.
- Experience in testing
- Some experiences in eCommerce

Location? We are located at “The Schibsted building” in the centre of Stockholm, where Blocket has its office together with many other Schibsted companies. We embrace a hybrid work approach and invite you to join us in our office for 2 days a week. This allows for collaboration and meaningful connections with your team. If you’re not the working-from-home kind of person, you are of course welcome in our office every day

Team? You will be part of Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces seller experience teams, in the Recommerce vertical, making sure that the sellers have the best possible experience on our platform. The team is responsible for the private seller experience in Blocket, but will make a transition towards working with business-to-consumer solutions for all of the Nordic Marketplaces. We will need to maintain the services we have built for Blocket as well as build new solutions for Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces. We have a really exciting time ahead of us as a team. You will be part of a team consisting of Full Stack developers, frontend developers, backend developers and app developers, as well as a UX designer and Product Manager. We work closely with teams both in Sweden and the other Nordic countries to build the marketplace of the future

Hi, I am your new manager!
My name is Jonas, and I will be your manager. I have worked in software development as a manager for quite some time now, mainly in FinTech and MarTech, before joining Blocket and Schibsted Nordic Marketplaces earlier this year. I believe in giving the team the tools and trust to empower themselves and to self-organize, making the team take responsibility for what they have built and what and how they will build stuff going forward. I thrive in setting up a friendly and inclusive atmosphere where you can be yourself and have fun.

If you have any questions, any questions at all please reach out at [email protected]
