As one of our 30 developers…

... you'll often release new updates to the Hemnet app to our hundreds of thousands Android users. Thanks to our large volume of traffic, you'll get good feedback from experiments quickly.

Professional development and the desire to try new ways of working are something we encourage, as the goal is that these experiences will help us to get even better together. Of course, we have developer breakfasts, lab days and send ourselves t0 conferences, so you can test new technologies and grow in your role.

If you think it sounds exciting to be part of taking Sweden's largest housing portal to the next step - don't hesitate to send your application!

In 2018, Hemnet turned 20 years. For two decades, we have changed and challenged how people find their new home.

Our products are used by 2,8 million unique visitors each week. People come to us to find a new home or to be inspired. Based on our vision of being the key to a simpler property transaction, we have launched new products and services in the past year. And that is something we will continue doing. 

At the same time, our business is growing with more traffic and increased profitability. In order to continue our efforts, we want more people to join the journey towards creating the world's best housing product. 

As a market leader, we need to be in constant learning, where we continuously test, explore and take on new challenges. All to maintain our position but also to be at the forefront. We believe in self-leadership and we work in small agile teams where we actively work to exchange experiences and knowledge, come up with new ideas, questioning old ones and, of course, make sure to have fun along the way!
