Senior Backend Engineer | Routing Team

The challenge Every day, thousands of parcels need to find the fastest, cheapest, most accurate route to someone's door — across Sweden and beyond. That's a Traveling Salesman Problem at massive scale, and it's what the Routing Team solves, live, in production. As a Senior Backend Engineer, your code doesn't sit in a backlog. It ships, and the next day it's already changing distribution costs, delivery accuracy, and the experience of thousands of customers. The team You'll join a small, senior, highly collaborative squad: three backend developers, one frontend developer, two algorithm engineers, one ML engineer, an Engineering Manager, a Product Manager, and a Staff Engineer. Low cross-team dependencies mean you can actually drive projects from idea to production — fast. Tech stack 🐹 Backend Golang (primary), with legacy Java and Node.js 🖥️ Frontend React + Next.js 🗄️ Data PostgreSQL, MongoDB ☁️ Infra GCP, Kubernetes (Helm), Terraform 🔁 CI/CD & Observability GitHub Actions, Grafana What you'll own Design, build, and ship backend features end-to-end — including proposing the projects worth building

Modernize legacy services (Java/Node) into scalable Go-based architecture

Set the bar for clean, maintainable, well-documented code

Partner with Product to turn technical solutions into KPI impact

Lead incident response and turn root causes into long-term fixes

Mentor engineers and help shape a strong technical culture

What we're looking for Solid, hands-on experience with Go (or another strongly-typed language) in production

A track record of designing and scaling distributed systems/APIs in the cloud — GCP or AWS

Comfortable with Kubernetes/Helm, Terraform, and SQL

You raise problems before they become incidents, and you help fix them

You make sound decisions under ambiguity, and you enjoy giving/getting feedback

You care where your code actually lands — in a truck, on a route, at someone's door

Bonus: you've worked across legacy stacks and enjoy bringing old systems up to modern standards.

Why this role Real-world impact, fast. Your work reaches thousands of people daily — not after a year of roadmap, but this quarter.

See it in action. Visit our sorting terminals, ride along with a delivery driver, or shadow ops for a day — build with real context, not assumptions.

Build, don't just maintain. Regular Hack Days let you take an idea from proof-of-concept to production.

Tools that keep up with you. Paid licenses for IDEs and AI coding agents.

Grow with modern tech, without being cut off from where it came from — you'll touch legacy systems too, and get to fix them properly.
