Job description

At Umain, we build digital products that millions of people use. Our motto is Shape, Ship, Scale: we work out what to build, ship it, and help it grow. Now, we are looking for a senior web developer to join us in Gothenburg. We like being in the same room, so this role is mostly on-site, with flexibility when you need it.

The work

You will build web products for Swedish and international clients, end to end. Most of our work is in JavaScript and TypeScript, often with Next.js, React or Node.js, and we pick the tools that fit each project rather than forcing one stack onto everything.

Day To Day That Can Mean

• Building frontend experiences with frameworks like Next.js or React
• Working into the backend with Go or Node.js when the project needs it
• Owning the full lifecycle, from testing and CI/CD to deployment on GCP or AWS
• Integrating with commerce ecosystems: CMS platforms, backend services, payment providers

What We Are Looking For

You are an experienced web developer, roughly five years or more building and running things in production, who is comfortable owning an application from start to finish. You are strong in TypeScript and happy to pick up other languages as projects demand. You make good technical calls in a team: weighing tradeoffs, reviewing code, mentoring colleagues. And you think past the ticket in front of you to maintainability and long-term health. In consulting the next project rarely looks like the last one. If that sounds like a feature rather than a risk, you will fit in well. If you do not tick every box, apply anyway. We care more about how you think and what you can do than about a perfect match on paper.

How We Work

• Equal pay and clear progression. Our career framework sets transparent levels, so pay and growth track what you do, not how well you negotiate. You build your development plan together with your coach.
• Everyone gets a coach, for both professional and personal development.
• Flexibility that respects your life. We hire people across different ages and life stages, and we treat family, health and life outside work as normal, not as something to manage around.
• Multidisciplinary teams, genuinely interesting clients, and a real bar for quality.

Practical

Umain conducts a background check for final candidates in accordance with our internal policies. The check is carried out only with your consent and is ordered by our CISO through our approved screening partner. The scope of the check depends on the role level. This step is performed late in the recruitment process and is used solely to support a secure and fact-based hiring decision.
