AI insights from unitQ drive higher conversion rates, better customer satisfaction, and more efficient use of engineering resources.

Our co-founders Christian Wiklund and Niklas Lindstrom have worked together for over a decade and successfully exited SKOUT, one of the first social networking dating apps with over 50 million installations globally. unitQ serves category-leading companies like Spotify, Bumble, Zendesk, PayPal, Uber, and more and is backed by leading investors including Accel, Gradient Ventures, and Zendesk Ventures.

• Proven track record of releasing and maintaining production code at scale.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
• Self-driven with the ability to independently manage tasks and projects.

Nice to have:

• Experience with AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, LangChain, or similar).
• Experience deploying containerized services using Docker and cloud platforms (AWS or GCP).
• Interest in analyzing user engagement data and driving insights.
• Experience developing dashboards and data visualizations.
