Software Developer

We will get to exactly what we are looking for, but first, a few words about Bzzt.


About Bzzt
We work to streamline short transports of stuff in city centers. The whole idea of Bzzt is to kick fossil vehicles out of the cities so that the people who live and work in them will have fresher air, less noise, and less congestion. Here's how we do it: Bzzt AB (the parent company) develops software and technology that optimizes how vehicles, customers, and goods communicate.

This allows us to:
- perform different types of assignments in the same system
- transport packages at the same time in the exact vehicle
- create parallel revenues from advertising and data collection
We sell all this clever stuff (wrapped in a neat package with the Bzzt logo on it) in our operational business. The subsidiary Bzzt Sverige AB is responsible for it. The service is both excellent and affordable, so demand is high. The fact that all our vehicles are battery-powered, emission-free, small, and very energy-efficient does not make matters worse. We are running in Malmö, Gothenburg, and Stockholm, but we are pretty ready to start in some other cities.




The job
Our software is super important. In fact, crucial for our services to function. Of course, that makes you very important too. Your job will be to make our systems (and thus us as a company) better, more efficient, and more intelligent. You will be part of Bzzt's software and data team, where you will have a substantial portion of the responsibility for the further development of our systems. The idea is that you should focus on software development and, to some extent operation of our platform. But at the same time, you will be involved in strategic and operational issues about the further development of our service.

You
Pure formality is no problem to ramble on. You are a B.Sc. or M.Sc., preferably in data or computer science/engineering. You are good at programming and fully control communication between the front and backend. Big plus if you know Elixir and have several years of experience in system development. (If you don't know Elixir, we hope you are someone who looks forward to learning a new and modern language). It is more difficult to describe how we think you should be as a person without resorting to the usual, well-worn job advertisement clichés. So we'll skip that and say this instead: Now that we're growing fast, every recruitment is super important. We have to have the right people. We need people who can employ themselves, are comfortable working independently, and work phenomenally well in a group. You will be part of a small team that works closely together. Everyone takes responsibility for their own, but we help and support each other in everything. We have been through some challenging periods. We exist today and have become as strong as we are and have as bright and exciting a future as we have. Because we like to cooperate, care about each other and enjoy what we do. (Both as a company and each of us.)
We welcome you regardless of background and profile. We know that "diverse teams" perform best—women, men, mothers, fathers, the self-taught and the university-educated work side by side here. You will solve it if you are the right person with the right experience, and you will get lots of support from the rest of us.

A little more about the job
The position is a permanent position. Bzzt AB, the parent company you will work for, is in Gothenburg. You will get to work with talented and pleasant colleagues in Gothenburg, Malmö, and Stockholm, whom all want to succeed in building a world-class "instant-last mile as a service" service. So far, we are only in Sweden, but the potential is global.

Some of the techniques and tools you will work with:
- Elixir, Phoenix, Liveview
- Javascript, Typescript, Node.js
- React & React Native
- Google Cloud Platform

Where, when, and how?
We have an office in central Gothenburg. If this is something for you, search now, we want you in place as soon as possible.
