Hemnet has 65 million monthly visits. People come to Hemnet to find joy, inspiration and – most important - their new homes. As a Developer at Hemnet you will face fun challenges when developing ideas for products affecting people's lives in a positive way.
Development at Hemnet
The product teams at Hemnet are self-propelled and cross-functional, which gives you the opportunity to be a part of the entire product development cycle. We are data-driven and work in close collaboration with each other - exploring things, from the smallest to the biggest, that we test and iterate. We validate against real data so we don't have to waste time and instead learn a lot of new insights. Our millions of users give us quick feedback on what we build. Each agile team has plannings, sprints, retrospectives, demos and continuous delivery as part of everyday work life. We have strong cross-team collaborations to align the technical solutions, design implementation and customer awareness. You will work in a friendly and caring company culture where transparency, respect, work-life balance and employee wellbeing are high up on the company's agenda.
Team Sellers’ Experience
The team will consist of five Product Developers, one UX Designer, one Product Manager and one Development Manager working closely together to continuously deliver smart and valuable solutions to the users selling properties on Hemnet. The team mission is to provide the property seller with insights, services and products to get the most out of their selling experience to enable a successful property sale.
As a Web Developer in team Consider & Contact you will contribute to all stages in the product life cycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment and maintenance. You and your team implement the solutions the team have designed and deploy them to production several times a day. Together with the team you will have the ability to have a big impact on what we build and how we build it, as each team is in control of their own product decisions. Ways of working vary but pair-coding and mob-coding are a big part of knowledge sharing, as well as code reviewing.
Some examples of what we do:
Property ad packages
Product upselling and cross-selling
Price calculations
Data and Information service for property sellers.
