Founded in 2018 in Stockholm, we are expanding the universe of video content creators from hundreds of thousands of video editors, to hundreds of millions 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.

Storykit is constantly growing! At the moment we are not actively recruiting but you are welcome to amaze us with your application for future opportunities in both employment, ex job (thesis) and summer jobs. Please clarify in your application what type of employment you are looking for!

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

At Storykit we have a broad range of roles within the tech area, so depending on your ambitions and skillsets we can see opportunities to work with fullstack development, or as a specialist with focus on either frontend, backend or video engineering.

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.

(Please note that we are not actively recruiting through this ad and therefore the response time may vary. We will get back to you as soon as possible and when we find an interesting opportunity!)

What about the tech?

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

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.

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 around two dozen 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 - handle all parts of our rendering cluster as well as new slide types/layouts

• 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 developing Video Studio (our video editing application) and the Creative part of our tool. This includes functionality for handling accounts, user data, different accesses, 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?

We're looking for developers with various seniority levels and experiences who want to connect with us for future possibilities at Storykit (and who wants to focus on either backend, frontend, full stack or video/rendering).

To be a good match, we believe that you:

• Have a degree within a MSc or BSc in Media Technology, Computer Science, Systems Engineering or similar. If you're looking for a thesis job, it can potentially be in our interest as well 

• Have some experience working with TypeScript/JavaScript or Rust (either via work, school projects or in personal projects)

• Are comfortable communicating in English

• Are authorized to live and work in Sweden (via work permit, EU citizenship, permanent residency or similar)

Bonus

• Experience in Angular 2+ and NodeJS

Furthermore, 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

Join the fun!

Storykit is a hybrid remote company, and as a member of our team, you would work either full-time or part-time from our HQ in central Stockholm (we have a very flexible hybrid work policy).

We hope you’re up for the challenge and look forward to hearing more about you - submit your application today. Since this is a way to connect with us for future job openings it can take a little bit longer before you hear from us but please stay put :)
