Junior Software Engineer - Schibsted

We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join our Core News Product (CNP) Web team.

CNP Web is building the common web platform that is the foundation for all of Schibsted's publications, including some of the most visited websites in the Nordics like Aftonbladet in Sweden and VG in Norway. It's an audacious and fun project with high velocity and impact.

In CNP web you'll get to work with an engaged and highly skilled team of dedicated and caring engineers, and you're placed squarely in the epicentre of the collaboration culture we're building between our diverse product- and tech teams. Schibsted has a vast developer community across many different companies, including online marketplaces and other high traffic sites. We encourage developers to assist and share knowledge across companies, and you will be able to leverage the collective expertise and knowledge when solving many complex problems.

A little peek at our stack: Our go-to language for most things is TypeScript. Our infrastructure runs on AWS (ECS/Lambda/ElastiCache), Datadog and Fastly, and everything is managed using Terraform. On the frontend we use React, and on the backend we use Node and Koa.

What you will do

- Work with modern JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Node.js
- Experiment with new technology and frameworks, and learn from that
- Collaborate with the team to improve the performance of the platform and establish patterns, build tools and platforms, work that is crucial for the engineers outside the team.

Who you are

- You have a degree in Computer Science or similar
- You can work in a highly collaborative agile team and you demonstrate trust and respect for your colleagues as we respect and trust you
- You like to produce quality code and to solve technical challenges
- You are interested in building and delivering web-based applications
- You are interested in developer experience, ensuring that tools we build are fast and “just work”
- You are a fluent English-speaker, since our team have mixed nationalities and are distributed in several locations

Schibsted promotes learning and growth, and to make sure it happens, every second Friday in our team is dedicated to learning or hacking. There are no expectations on you that anything actionable comes out of it, only that you use the time to actually learn and delve deeper into something that is meaningful to you.


Schibsted is a family of digital brands with a strong Nordic position, and more than 5,000 employees. Millions of people interact with our companies every day through our leading online marketplaces, world-class media houses. We also help new promising businesses grow. Our joint mission of empowering people in their daily lives is rooted in the values of our media heritage and a legacy of bold change. At our best, we are a fearless force for change in a society built on trust and transparency.
