Senior / TechLead Fullstack Developer to Nextory!

We know it, you know it. Most companies ramble on about purpose and making the world a better place. And pretty often it feels a bit… well, forced. But we’d like to think that our story is special for real. Hear us out. The story of Nextory began in Syria, where our founders grew up. When they were children, they witnessed how the dictatorship limited the access to books, and saw what it did to their country. So when Shadi and Ninos came to Sweden, they made it their mission to make books available to everyone. Fast forward a few years, and Nextory was born. We offer a monthly subscription where our users can read and listen to as many books as they like. Sounds like a pretty cool product to work with, right? We think so too.
We’re on the hunt for a Senior / TechLead Fullstack Developer to join our amazing team on the quest of making the world a happier and more democratic place.
Our Technical Environment
You will work in a microservice architecture with event-based communication. Your focus will be to set up the technical environment for projects together with the Head of Engineering.
For external communication you are expected to use VueJS. For internal communication it can be either NodeJS (NextJS or other), Python (Django), Ruby (Rails) or Java (Spring). You’re expected to know Java, to understand the current code base and be able to maintain it, but if you prefer any language/framework above we would like to meet your needs and we are open to change!
