Job description

About the role

Full text from the employer, as published on Arbetsförmedlingen (JobTech), arranged into sections. Nothing added or removed.

01Who We Are

We are a well-funded, early-stage technology company on a mission to fundamentally redefine the way the world searches, discovers, and transacts, built on a philosophy that puts the user first at every step.

The user is not simply a means of transaction. They are a valued participant whose data works for them, not against them, enriching their world and their own experience within it, with them retaining full control.

Our mission is underpinned by proprietary, patent-pending technology built on a novel engine and system.

02The Problem You Will Be Solving

The internet was built to inform the many, not to serve the individual. Platforms optimize for engagement, extraction, and consumption at global scale. AI has made this model even more efficient, with the user still largely remaining the input, not the full beneficiary.

The problem is not information. The world has never had more. The problem is that people give away a lifetime of data without receiving the personalized experience it should enable.

People should not have to search. They should simply find.

03Who You Are

• Highly talented and motivated to build products with people, for people

• You thrive in zero-to-one environments and find genuine satisfaction in creating from scratch

• A fast-paced thinker with a relentless desire to learn, improve, and raise the standard around you

• Able to inspire, elevate, and collaborate; you make the people around you better

• A great communicator; you express complex ideas with clarity, precision, and confidence across all levels of the organization

• Able to transform ideas into working systems and technical milestones with light speed and precision

• Highly ambitious and action-driven; you thrive under pressure and find genuine energy in working at the edge of what is considered possible

04What You Will Do

• Design and operate cloud infrastructure for large-scale consumer platforms with a strong focus on compute, networking, GPU resource management, and cost efficiency as a first-class engineering priority

• Build Kubernetes-based orchestration systems with deep understanding of resource scheduling, isolation boundaries, failure propagation, and operational reliability

• Build high-performance ML model serving infrastructure supporting concurrent model versions, canary and shadow deployments, and low-latency inference delivery within the performance and reliability constraints of a live consumer product

• Build CI/CD pipelines that give the team the deployment confidence and velocity of a dedicated platform engineering function

• Design data architecture with built-in classification, retention policies, access controls, and audit logging from day one

• Build comprehensive observability infrastructure including distributed tracing, model performance monitoring, cost tracking, and intelligent alerting for full production visibility

05Minimum Qualifications

• MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a directly related field or equivalent demonstrated production experience in lieu of formal qualification

• 4 or more years of experience originating and operating production infrastructure at meaningful scale; has designed systems that real products depend on, not maintained existing ones

• Kubernetes expertise below the configuration layer; real understanding of scheduler behavior, runtime characteristics, and resource contention

• Experience operating ML workloads in production; model versioning, inference scaling, and GPU resource management

• Infrastructure-as-code practice applied comprehensively and without exception

06Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with GDPR obligations applied at the infrastructure and data architecture level

• Background from Spotify infrastructure, Ericsson cloud, King platform engineering, or Einride

• Demonstrated track record of provisioning production-grade infrastructure at a pace that sets a new reference point for teams around you

07What We Offer

Expect the most talented, rigorous, and driven colleagues you have worked with; people who lift each other up and hold each other to the highest standard. This company is driven by ideas and innovation, regardless of age, position, or background. The best ideas must win and the people behind them recognized and rewarded.

A home for exceptional people and geniuses within their domain; those who have always known what they are capable of and have been waiting for the environment to prove it to the world, whilst first being seen and supported by their coworkers.

Compensation includes an attractive salary and meaningful equity ownership for an early-stage startup.

08Equal Opportunity

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to building an inclusive, high-performance culture where everyone can do their best work and reach their full potential. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

09Application

To apply, send your CV/resume, LinkedIn profile, and a brief note on how and why you would like to contribute to our mission. Upon initial acceptance, an in-person interview will follow shortly in Stockholm, Sweden.

Please note that all applications and interviews are conducted in English. Fluency in written and spoken English is a requirement for all roles.

All applications are treated with strict confidentiality.
