Web Engineering Manager

Web Engineering Manager

As the Web Engineering Manager your responsibility, in a nutshell, is to ensure that we have the right people, working on the right things, using the right tools and processes to deliver value to our users and to set the bar for how a modern, AI-enabled web team operates. The web team builds in Next.js, Type Script, GraphQL, React Testing Library, and Cypress.

We're investing in this stack as the sustainable, scalable foundation we'll build on for years to come, while also maintaining and incrementally modernizing our legacy system.

Areas of ownership:

• Provide leadership over core engineering work on a daily basis, with strong accountability for outcomes, not just outputs
• Align your team's technical strategy with the short and long-term visions of the business
• Interface with the product team and coordinate across the engineering org to translate product needs into deliverables
• Help us retain, develop, and attract top engineering talent; create an environment where engineers take real ownership of the problems they solve
• Maintain an overview of architectural decisions for the web platform. You will discuss technical solutions with the team and institute measures to keep the codebase clean, maintainable, secure, and scalable
• Drive continuous improvements in user experience and how customers interact with our web products
• Own and evolve our AI-SDLC practices on the web team. We believe AI-assisted software development is becoming a core part of modern engineering, and we expect this role to push that frontier forward
• Champion effective and responsible adoption of AI tools across coding, debugging, testing, documentation, code review, and software delivery
• Uphold a high bar for quality: clear documentation, meaningful tests, and simple, reliable solutions to complex problems
• Stay close enough to the code and the craft to make sound technical calls and earn the trust of your engineers

Requirements:

• You are an excellent communicator and collaborator. We work in English, but you will hear many languages in our Stockholm office
• 3+ years experience building and leading software development teams
• 5+ years developer experience in web or full-stack engineering, with hands-on experience in modern JavaScript frameworks (React, Next.js, or similar) and Type Script
• Solid understanding of GraphQL and REST integration patterns
• Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted engineering tools and workflows as part of the software development lifecycle, and a point of view on how teams should adopt them
• Comfortable evaluating and rolling out new AI-enabled development practices that improve code quality, velocity, and operational efficiency
• Sound knowledge of Agile development methodologies
• Experience with development lifecycle tools and processes
• Experience in a high-volume environment or with products serving millions of users
• Ability to adapt and respond to rapidly evolving product needs
• A bias toward ownership. You are comfortable making decisions, holding the line on quality, and being accountable for what your team ships
• Working knowledge of the infrastructure a modern web platform runs on; hosting and deployment (Vercel, Cloudflare, or similar), DNS, CDN/edge behavior, observability and alerting.
• Experience leading teams through a legacy-to-modern platform migration high-traffic consumer site
• Experience working with mature products with many users
• Experience with Next.js specifically, and an opinion on where it shines and where it doesn't is a plus
• It's a plus with hands-on experience running Next.js in production on Vercel (or a comparable platform) at scale, including the cost, performance, and operational trade-offs that come with it
• It's a bonus if you have experience working with DDoS mitigation, WAF configuration, or incident response on a high-traffic consumer site
• Experience in one of the sectors in which we work: payment platforms, Fin Tech, or telecom is a plus
