Who we are

55 Degrees is a bootstrapped Swedish SaaS company with a growing, multicultural team. Based in the heart of Malmö, Sweden, we develop powerful applications that help teams worldwide work smarter and forecast better.

Our mission is to help organizations deliver more value with less stress by giving them the insights and tools they need to improve how work flows. We build software products that help teams make better decisions about their work in platforms like Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello, and more, and we’re proud to serve hundreds of customers globally.

We’re a team of curious, creative, and passionate individuals who believe in delivering exceptional products while maintaining a healthy balance in our lives. We value being happy at work and with our colleagues, and we ensure that work is as enjoyable as it is impactful!

The role

We are looking for an Application Developer (Fullstack) with 3–5 years of experience to strengthen our growing team. You’ll work across frontend and backend, helping us build high-quality, scalable, and user-friendly applications.

This is an opportunity to join a quickly growing team and make a significant impact from day one. You will report directly to our Engineering manager and collaborate closely with both product and design.

We support remote work in accordance with our work-from-home policy; however, this is a hybrid role where we value and expect regular presence at our Malmö office. We therefore primarily consider candidates within commuting distance of Malmö.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and improve fullstack applications using React, Express, and TypeScript.

• Design and implement backend services with AWS (DynamoDB, Elastic Beanstalk, EC2, or similar).

• Take ownership of projects from design through delivery and ongoing maintenance.

• Collaborate with team members across engineering, product, and design to deliver value quickly.

• Write clean, testable, and maintainable code.
  

Examples of duties include, but are not limited to:

• Leading the development of new features and applications.

• Building and optimizing APIs.

• Managing data storage solutions in AWS.

• Supporting deployment and scaling of services.

• Performing code reviews.

• Troubleshooting and solving technical issues in production.

About you

To succeed in this role, you must be both technically strong and an excellent communicator. You can thrive in a small business and are motivated to contribute to the development of our growing company. We’d love to hear from you if the following describes you and resonates with you:

• Team player with a passion for cross-collaboration and supporting others.

• A doer with high-quality standards and attentive to the details.

• Proactive problem solver who is always seeking new opportunities and improvements.

• Strong communicator, able to explain complex technical concepts clearly.

• Experienced in leading projects and comfortable taking initiative.
  

Your day one qualities:

• 3–5 years of experience in fullstack development.

• Solid skills in React, Express, and TypeScript.

• Experience with AWS (DynamoDB, EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, or similar cloud services).

• Data-driven mindset, comfortable tracking and presenting results.

• Have experience working in the SaaS industry and products.

• Fluent English at a professional level in writing and speaking; other languages are a bonus!
  

We’ll be excited if you…

• Have an understanding of lean/agile methodologies and flow-based practices.

• Previous experience with the Atlassian suite of tools, particularly Jira and Confluence.

• Have worked with Azure DevOps or its APIs.

• Enjoy knowledge sharing.

We’ll discuss what you’ve built, technologies you’ve worked with, challenges you’ve faced, and the decisions you’ve made in your development work.

   • A practical coding exercise based on a realistic development task.

   • A discussion of your solution, including trade-offs, reasoning, and possible improvements.

   • Meetings with some of the team members you’ll collaborate closely with.
