About The Role
 
We are looking for a Software Engineer that has experience with backend development. You will work in an autonomous, purpose-driven team and take an important role in shipping new features while continuously increasing the efficiency, stability, and scalability of the systems. You are expected to contribute to backend development within your team but we also encourage everyone to understand and contribute to other parts of the stack. You will be working in a multi-disciplinary environment with agile principles. We run our infrastructure and systems on AWS. The systems are written in Node.js and Typescript and you are expected to work with and be interested in that.
Our engineering team is mostly located in central Stockholm, but with a remote-first culture, we’re able to bring on people who prefer full-time remote work. 
 
Who You Are
You are comfortable writing Node.js/Typescript
You have experience in building cloud-native infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure
You have a pragmatic mindset and can make trade-offs on what to optimize for and when to ship


Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin, or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different.
Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement, and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive, and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome. We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling, and nurturing culture.
 
We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
