Tech Lead or Senior Developer

IST has been the go-to EdTech leader in Scandinavia for decades, and now we're going global!

We are currently looking for Tech Leads or Senior Developers to join our teams working with Childcare, School and Adult Education.

Join and contribute to what really matters – the education of our children and the lives of their teachers – worldwide!

About us
At IST, our vision is to provide the best learning opportunities for everyone. As a renowned Scandinavian Edtech company, we transform education into global Edtech solutions.

Every day, we come to work knowing that our products create a positive impact on society. We're dedicated to developing solutions that empower people with the best opportunities to learn and grow. We collaborate with our users to make products that simplify daily routines.

Do you also want to make a difference? We offer a full-time position as Tech Lead or Senior Developer with preferable placement at our Växjö or Stockholm offices and possibilities for a partly flexible workplace. Our other offices or remote could be an option. On a personal level we strive for continuity, equal possibilities for all and flexibility to balance the work-life puzzle of all co-workers.

About the Tech Lead role
A Tech Lead at IST is a team-based role, working part time as a developer, but also having extended responsibilities regarding system/software architecture and authority regarding technical decisions in your team.

A Tech Lead works closely with our architects and other team’s Tech Leads on technical matters ranging from regular product development to softer issues like defining and maintaining technical strategies and guidelines. Typical product development tasks for a Tech Lead could be maintaining a healthy micro service eco-system and system architecture as features are added, identifying, and managing the team’s technical debt and prioritizing technical work together with the team’s Product Owner.

About the Senior Developer role
You will join one of our cross functional development teams consisting of developers, testers, a tech lead and a product owner, focusing on either platform or product teams.

We believe in self organizing teams which will give you both freedom, responsibility and involvement while developing you team’s systems – making work technically challenging and fun for all!

We strive for a truly innovative culture and have multiple activities or methods to boost innovation. We are using modern technologies such as Docker, Rancher/Kubernetes, Vue.js, Octopus Deploy and are constantly evaluating our next improvements!

To be the right person for this job, you have several years of experience as a developer in both backend and frontend. You are keen on new technologies and work in a structured manner. You will cooperate with a lot of people outside of your team and are therefore a good communicator.
