Job description

You know that bit where every company says they’re 'changing the world'? Yeah, it can feel a little forced. But we like to think our story actually has some realness to it.

Our story begins with Shadi Bitar and Ninos Malki, who came to Sweden from Syria as kids and discovered that books could be a bridge - helping them learn the language, understand the culture, and explore new worlds.

A thought emerged, 'what if everyone could have that?' And just like that, Nextory was born - your all-access pass to read, listen, and discover new perspectives without limits.

Role Overview

As a Design Engineer at Nextory, you’ll be working at the intersection of design and engineering, helping turn ideas into fast, intuitive, and genuinely enjoyable experiences. Together with our six product designers, product managers, and engineers, you’ll take ideas from rough concepts to polished features in production.

Frontend development is your craft, and you care deeply about building high-quality user interfaces with thoughtful interactions, great performance, and attention to detail. You’ll have ownership throughout the entire journey, from the first sketch to the final release, caring just as much about the technical implementation as the user experience.

Key Qualifications

• Strong fundamentals in modern frontend development - Vue, React or similar architecture.
• Experience building and extending design systems and component libraries in code, including working with Figma's developer tooling (Code Connect, Dev Mode, variables, component properties) to keep design and code in sync.
• A track record of building internal tools, prototypes, and design-to-code infrastructure used by people across Nextory.
• Skillset to take promising prototypes from rough exploration to polished, production-quality features, owning both the technical implementation and the end result.
• Good judgment on when to build for speed (a throwaway prototype) versus when to build for scale (a reusable component).
• Bonus: experience and keen interest in motion design.

We also believe that you have the drive to move fast without losing your eye for detail, and you’re equally energized by building tools others use and great experiences for the users.

Working Environment

We are based in Stockholm, Sweden, with offices in Paris and Bangalore. Our hybrid work policy includes four days in the office and Wednesdays as a work-from-home day.

At Nextory, we believe a strong and inclusive culture is key to our success and that culture flourishes when we meet and collaborate in person as much as possible. That’s why we spend the majority of the working time at our beautiful office.
