What will you do?
As the Web Engineering Manager your responsibility, in a nutshell, is to ensure that we have the right people, working on the right things, using the right tools and processes to deliver value to our users and to set the bar for how a modern, AI-enabled web team operates. The web team builds in Next.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, React Testing Library, and Cypress. We're investing in this stack as the sustainable, scalable foundation we'll build on for years to come, while also maintaining and incrementally modernizing our legacy system.
Areas of ownership:
Provide leadership over core engineering work on a daily basis, with strong accountability for outcomes, not just outputs
Align your team's technical strategy with the short and long-term visions of the business
Interface with the product team and coordinate across the engineering org to translate product needs into deliverables
Help us retain, develop, and attract top engineering talent; create an environment where engineers take real ownership of the problems they solve
Maintain an overview of architectural decisions for the web platform. You will discuss technical solutions with the team and institute measures to keep the codebase clean, maintainable, secure, and scalable
Drive continuous improvements in user experience and how customers interact with our web products
Own and evolve our AI-SDLC practices on the web team. We believe AI-assisted software development is becoming a core part of modern engineering, and we expect this role to push that frontier forward
Champion effective and responsible adoption of AI tools across coding, debugging, testing, documentation, code review, and software delivery
Uphold a high bar for quality: clear documentation, meaningful tests, and simple, reliable solutions to complex problems
Stay close enough to the code and the craft to make sound technical calls and earn the trust of your engineers
Requirements:
You are an excellent communicator and collaborator. We work in English, but you will hear many languages in our Stockholm office
3+ years experience building and leading software development teams
5+ years developer experience in web or full-stack engineering, with hands-on experience in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js, or similar) and TypeScript
Solid understanding of GraphQL and REST integration patterns
Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows as part of the software development lifecycle, and a point of view on how teams should adopt them
Comfortable evaluating and rolling out new AI-enabled development practices that improve code quality, velocity, and operational efficiency
Sound knowledge of Agile development methodologies
Experience with development lifecycle tools and processes
Experience in a high-volume environment or with products serving millions of users
Ability to adapt and respond to rapidly evolving product needs
A bias toward ownership. You are comfortable making decisions, holding the line on quality, and being accountable for what your team ships
Working knowledge of the infrastructure a modern web platform runs on; hosting and deployment (Vercel, Cloudflare, or similar), DNS, CDN/edge behavior, observability and alerting.
Experience leading teams through a legacy-to-modern platform migration high-traffic consumer site
Experience working with mature products with many users
Experience with Next.js specifically, and an opinion on where it shines and where it doesn't is a plus
It's a plus with hands-on experience running Next.js in production on Vercel (or a comparable platform) at scale, including the cost, performance, and operational trade-offs that come with it
It's a bonus if you have experience working with DDoS mitigation, WAF configuration, or incident response on a high-traffic consumer site
Experience in one of the sectors in which we work: payment platforms, FinTech, or telecom is a plus
