What We're Looking For
Substantial hands-on track record of coding and shipping production software over time.
Strong backend engineering experience designing and scaling distributed systems.
Hands-on experience optimizing LLMs and AI agent flows in real production environments.
High agency, clear ownership mindset, and intentional career choices that reflect genuine commitment to craft.
A strong side-project portfolio demonstrating technical depth and sustained curiosity.
Experience working at fast-growing, early-stage startups is a strong plus.
Practical experience is valued; formal credentials are not required.
Eligible and willing to work on-site in Stockholm, including relocation if needed. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Benefits
Salary range: $80,000 to $120,000 USD annually, plus equity. The salary and equity mix is negotiable, with flexibility for exceptionally senior candidates. Visa sponsorship is not available.
