Senior Software Engineer to nxtedition in Malmö!

Senior Software Engineer at nxtedition (Malmö / Hybrid)
Build the tools behind the world’s fastest newsrooms

At nxtedition, we are reinventing how broadcasters produce and deliver stories. Our story-driven platform powers the production of live TV, news, and social media content for media houses across the globe, from Expressen in Sweden to public broadcasters in Greenland and Monaco. We bring everything from scripting and automation to real-time publishing into one intuitive environment that lets creatives focus on storytelling, not tech complexity.

You will join a small and experienced tech team based in Malmö. Here, developers are not just writing code, they are designing features, solving real problems, and directly influencing both product and tech direction. We move fast, talk directly to users, and build systems that go live in mission critical environments every day. This is a role for someone who wants to do meaningful work and not just deliver on someone else’s backlog.

Technical responsibilities and requirements

In this role, you will develop and maintain our core platform whether your focus is frontend, backend, or a full stack mix. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly, navigate new challenges with confidence, and contribute to a fast-moving product with real impact.

You should be experienced in:

• Proven experience in Node.js development and/-or frontend development in TypeScript/JavaScript, with libraries like React and MobX
• Familiarity with NoSQL databases like CouchDB and RocksDB
• Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for delivering high quality solutions

It is a plus if you have worked with or are curious about:

• Search and observability tools like ElasticSearch and Kibana
• Linux environments and containerization using Docker or Kubernetes
• Media tools such as FFmpeg, C++, CasparCG, Vulkan, or CUDA
• Infrastructure tools like Netbird or Docker Swarm
• AI integrations (Whisper, Llama) or CRDTs for real-time sync

You will also be part of developing integrations with third party services and social media platforms, and work closely with customers in refining and adapting the platform to new use cases.

Who we are looking for

You are someone who takes initiative, communicates clearly, and thrives in dynamic, collaborative environments. You likely have experience from smaller companies, scale-ups, or product teams where you wore multiple hats and enjoyed broad ownership.

We think you will enjoy this role if you:

• Have worked extensively with React on the frontend and Node.js on the backend
• Are comfortable making technical decisions and shipping production grade code
• Comfortable with direct contact with customers for product development and education purpose
• Love solving real world problems and seeing your work in action
• Have a flexible mindset and are motivated by impact and autonomy
• Speak fluent English and enjoy working in an open, international team

Why nxtedition

At nxtedition, what you build matters. Our platform is used daily by newsrooms and media teams around the world. From planning to playout, your work helps deliver stories faster and smarter.

We believe in simplicity, speed, and ownership. You will be part of a small team with big reach where you shape both the codebase and the culture. We work hybrid with two days a week in our Malmö office (a beautifully repurposed textile factory), and the rest is flexible.

We also embrace open source thinking whether through contributing, learning, or simply building cleanly with others in mind. If you are a person who strives for continuous personal development, then you will thrive here!

We are aiming to welcome a new team member around the end of the year but let us start the conversation already now.

Let us build the future of media together. Apply today – or just reach out and say hello.

At Mpya Digital we have a unique learning and sharing culture which will make you more confident in your profession. This, in return, will enable you to deliver software development on the absolute highest level.
