You´ll be part of the "Communications" domain and our team works on all aspects of peer-to-peer communication at Blocket.se. We develop and maintain our products and services for chat, push and email to and between our users.

And communicate, they do - our users send more than 300.000+ messages every day using our systems and on top of that, we handle hundreds of thousands of emails and push notifications on a daily basis.

The team is cross-functional and consists of 10-12 developers, usually working in two (or more) separate streams.

As Domain Tech Lead (DTL) you will be a lead developer responsible for the technical stability, quality, technical direction and vision for the "Communications" domain. You enjoy solving problems, team-wins and coaching other devs.

Our current tech stack includes: Python, Go, JS, React, Docker, Kafka, AWS and the most important thing is that you like to try and learn new stuff - you are not expected to know all the whole tech stack from the start, we do however want you to have tried different languages/tech solutions for different problems and view languages as a way of solving problems.

Hello from you Manager!

Hi! - My name is Gustav and I'm the Engineering Manager for the team that works on Communication (and other things). I started at Blocket as an Android developer more that 6 years ago, so obviously I can highly recommend joining and becoming a "Blocketeer". Nowadays, my drivers are to see the team build awesome products, learn and adopt new technologies and to enable and help them grow, both as developers and colleagues. Having a team that feels healthy and comfortable is very important to me and I strongly value openness and honesty. If you want to ask me any questions please reach out to me on LinkedIn!

Interested in joining the Blocket world?

We look forward to hearing from you! Apply with your LinkedIn-profile or CV and let us know what makes you tick. We would love to get to know you a bit better! Having some cool stuff on Git? Send us the link so we can check it out.

Good to know:

- Candidate experience is highly prioritized at Blocket, so you might receive a survey a long the way where we ask you a couple of questions regarding your experience with us
- Due to the corona-issue, we are currently not offering re-locations from outside of the EU. We sure hope that we will be able to to so further ahead
