What you'll be up to:
"Imagine you are in the market for a used bike - and I bet you do it on Blocket where 150.000 bikes are sold yearly. You will most likely use the start page, the search tools and then look through a list of results. Whenever you see a sweet bike that you find interesting, you will probably click on it to get to the object page. This discovery journey is something my team and I are responsible for.

You will develop products for (pretty much) the whole of the Swedish population with one of the API´s we serve are handling 30 million requests/day.

Our mission is to serve the best "search and discover" experience to the people of Sweden. And that is truly awesome!"

The Blocket journey began in Skåne 1996 - since then the concept of Blocket has been exported to over 40 other countries. Today, Blocket, which is owned by the media group Schibsted, is Sweden’s largest online marketplace. There are approximately 600 000 items, vehicles, jobs and housing being advertised and discovered by its 5 million visitors every week. The value for all advertisements in 2018 amounted to SEK 714 billion - equal to 15 percent of Sweden’s GDP. Thanks to second-hand trading at Blocket, 0.8 million tonnes of greenhouse gases can be avoided every year. The output being equivalent to if Stockholm’s city roads stood empty for about a year. Blocket has approximately 240 colleagues and the office is located in central Stockholm. Together, we are passionate about second-hand trading, the environment and the continued growth of Blocket - one of Sweden’s largest sites. We are proud environmental heroes, https: //www.blocket.se/inspira ... and enjoy working together, https://www.blocket.career/.
