APSIS and our vision




APSIS, we imagine a world where nobody gets a single spam message ever again.
Our vision is to help our customers communicate better with their users by allowing them to use their data more effectively. To reduce noise through better and more specific targeting; to add relevance by making each message personally tailored; to send the right message on the right channel at the right time and nothing else, so that we as consumers get a better experience in our inboxes. 




The role


Our new APSIS One platform is built from the ground up using brand new cloud-native technology and methods. We are now looking to strengthen our Audience team, who builds the core data processing and storage layers in our platform. It involves advanced data intensive systems engineering, working with databases of many flavors, distributed systems and data processing pipelines, with very high demands on performance and correctness.


Apsis aims to work at the forefront of technology and development. We follow modern agile practices with cross-functional DevOps teams, where each team assumes complete technical and operational ownership of their applications, including not only implementation but full architectural design and tech selection, QA, continuous delivery, and technical production environment operations. We believe in small, highly skilled, highly empowered and autonomous teams taking maximal ownership of their systems.


In a typical day this role will be working as part of our Audience team, working in close collaboration with their team members and other similar teams in Stockholm, Malmö, Warsaw and Russia, and with their Product Owner. The team has its own backlog of stories and tasks that the developers participate in the writing and grooming and prioritisation of, and then work together to bring all the way to production deploy. Apsis dev teams also have “20% time” where the team works outside the product backlog on tasks of their own choice.
