You are an open minded person who enjoys working together in a team. Advanced knowledge in modern frontend development is your proficiency.
You think it’s equally important to develop yourself as inspire others to develop themselves.
As a person you are not afraid of taking lead when it’s needed, and you often identify and tackle technical/design debt before it grows and requires significant work to resolve.
You are comfortable to communicate in both written and spoken English to always include all of your co-workers in meeting discussions, Slack jokes or on our Friday after work.
What would you do?
Your main responsibility would be to develop our current web based products and take them to the next level, which would also include building internal tools to reach that goal.
One of our current projects is a match prediction web app written in React on the frontend. It was a huge success with thousands of participants during the World Cup, and we would love if you would like to develop it further with us!
When you’re not developing awesome new web stuff, go downstairs and test your table tennis or futchi skills against some of the brightest talents in Sweden. Or attempt what many have tried but few have succeeded and work from the office ball pit!
Who will you work with?
You will be working closest together with our ad tech team, which includes other frontend and backend developers, designers, sales and QA. Some of us love football, some of us do not care at all about sports, some prefer tea over coffee, some speak fluent Spanish, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Russian or Swedish (or are trying to learn Swedish on our own hosted classes during work time).
A quite diverse team, and we would love to be even more diverse! A thing we have in common is that we want to build the best products for all football fans in the world.
