Our ambition is to take the user experience to the next level and create new types of values both for our users and for Blocket. That is what we are doing during our working hours. In addition, our work leads towards a more sustainable world, so you will get a little karma in this role as well. Not bad at all.

Hello from your colleagues!
Hey there! Welcome to us! You will be working with such a widely used product that has so many active users. This means that the things we are building will be seen and used by a lot of people every day. All car dealers in the country are here. Big and small. It is also a great technical challenge having such a large user base. We constantly get the chance to develop and release new features and updates to make Blocket Motor an even better product. That is inspiring! Another inspiring thing is to work with a product that really lies in time, sustainability is everything these days. The tech stack used by the team is modern, it is really nice to work with an event driven micro service architecture. Frontend and backend work tightly together, we do a lot of pair- and mob programming. Sten is our manager and with him you can be yourself, perfectly candid and relaxed. He is very involved in the product and the team, always up for a chat, good meal or a ride. Although more into roller coasters than Harley’s.
Hi there, I’m your new manager!
My name is Sten and it’s my job to make sure you develop great stuff, have fun and grow as a person. We have many great challenges ahead of us. Both technical and to create great experiences. As a developer my core competence are within iOS and mobile development but I have wide experience from different phases of the product development cycle. In my role as manager and coach I like to see everyone in my team to get involved, have fun and grow as both developers and humans. I really would love to work with you 🙂
