Founded in 2018 in Stockholm, we are expanding the universe of video content creators from hundreds of thousands of video editors, to hundreds of million of storytellers world wide, who can now create video.

We are the complete video creator busy changing how the world thinks about and works with video.

And we’re growing rapidly. Come join the fun!

How you will make life easier for hundreds of millions of storytellers worldwide:

You will be part of our ever-evolving team of developers, sometimes spending months designing and implementing new exciting features for our customers. And then mixing that up with investigating edge cases for customers or optimizing performance.

Your responsibilities include:

• Implement and design new features.
  
• Iterate and improve your own and others' code with new features and increased performance.
  
• Take a large responsibility for your code by moving it from an idea to deployed and maintained in the production environment.

What about the tech?

Our backend runs in a NodeJS runtime environment with microservices architecture. It's hosted on Heroku and AWS with GitHub Actions for CI/CD. We develop all new features in TypeScript, while some old features are still in JavaScript (we're continuously rebuilding those using TS). On the database side, we're using MongoDB with Mongoose as ORM. However, we also use PostgreSQL for our Data/AI solutions.

Additionally, we develop one part of our rendering cluster in Rust + Kubernetes. However, you would work with TypeScript/JavaScript in this role.

We're developing the front end of our web application in Angular 12 with TypeScript and NGXS.

Please note that we don't expect you to have experience working with all the tech we use, instead we hope you want to grow in your role with us!

What about the team?

Glad you asked! Team spirit and collaboration are super important for us and currently, we're 18 developers working together to make our product great.

We're divided into three functional teams that have full-stack competence, hence they are responsible for everything from designing the feature to implementing and testing their code. We manage our projects using a mix of scrum and kanban.

• Video - develop video studio (our video editing application) and all parts of our rendering cluster
  
• Data/AI - create features that automatically recommend video content for our users (layouts, text, music, stock images/videos from our library, etc.)
  
• Organize - are responsible for the create-side of our tool, which means pretty much everything else. For example, handling accounts, user data, different accesses, new slide types/layouts, etc.
  
  

We also have a cross-team that includes functions that work with several teams (such as DevOps, UI/UX, CTO, Engineering Manager) and one UI Engineer that works mainly with our website storykit.io.

What can you expect from us?

At Storykit, you can expect a safe and open-minded environment that is both challenging and ambitious. We are growing tremendously fast and therefore give all employees a lot of responsibility from day one.

We set high goals, but also make sure that everyone has the right support to be able to reach them. Due to our fast growth, there are almost endless opportunities for development in the organization. You will work in an awesome team, and with generous terms & conditions.

Who are we looking for - really?

You think JavaScript is a nice tool for web development, but when it's combined with TypeScript it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You probably feel right at home working with REST APIs, and have previously had your hands on at least one document database, preferably MongoDB. In addition to this, you enjoy working with problems related to scalability.

You generally have a strong belief about using the right kind of tool for the right problem and are skeptically curious about new frameworks, libraries, and programming languages.

In addition to this, we believe that you:

• Have at least three years of experience working with backend development, either as a backend developer/engineer or in a full-stack role
  
• Are comfortable communicating in English

Join the fun!

Storykit is a hybrid remote company, and as a member of our team, you can work from our HQ on Södermalm in Stockholm and/or remotely from anywhere in Sweden.

We hope you’re up for the challenge and look forward to hearing more about you - submit your application today.

Apply quickly and easily without a CV or personal letter! Instead, we ask you to answer a few short selection questions.
