Software Engineer

We’re building something new within Evolution.

This is not a role focused on maintaining mature systems or working inside a fixed technical setup. It is an opportunity to help build a new platform from first principles, work with modern technologies across the stack, and solve hard engineering problems under real production constraints.

The system we’re building will operate across regions and process thousands of real-money transactions per second with strict consistency guarantees. Low latency, correctness, performance, and security are not things we optimize for later. They are design constraints from day one.

This role is for engineers with strong fundamentals, high potential, and the drive to keep developing in a high-caliber environment. You may be a new graduate with exceptional technical ability or an engineer with a few years of experience looking for more demanding systems work. You will work closely with experienced engineers, contribute across backend and product-facing systems, and build strong engineering judgment in an environment where reliability, usability, and integrity all matter.

 

What You’ll Do

• Build product and platform components across the stack
• Contribute to backend services, APIs, data models, internal tools, and user-facing features
• Work closely with experienced engineers on system design and technical trade-offs
• Help design systems where correctness, consistency, and performance matter
• Improve reliability, latency, observability, and overall system quality
• Write clear, maintainable, and well-tested code with a focus on robustness
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions that raise the engineering bar

Who You Are

• You have strong computer science fundamentals
• You’re a strong problem solver with clear technical reasoning
• You enjoy learning and are comfortable picking up new technologies quickly
• You’re ambitious, self-driven, and motivated to grow in a high-performance environment
• You value working in a small team with high standards and direct feedback

You’re not expected to have experience with all parts of the stack or large-scale systems yet. What matters most is your ability to learn quickly and build strong foundations.

What Will Strengthen Your Application

Any of the following will strengthen your application:

• Strong academic results from a rigorous technical university or program
• Internship experience or a few years of software engineering experience in a technically demanding environment
• Experience with backend systems, distributed systems, or full-stack product development
• Personal, open-source, academic, or professional projects that show technical depth, ownership, and strong execution
• Experience building systems where performance, correctness, reliability, or security mattered
• Solid understanding of databases, concurrency, networking, or system design
• Competitive programming, hackathons, olympiads, research, or other high-signal technical achievements
• Clear communication and the ability to discuss technical trade-offs in a thoughtful way

Our Benefits are

• Competitive salary, pension, health and medical insurance
• 30 paid vacation days
• Fitness benefit (Friskvårdsbidrag)
• Professional growth
• Sport activities, parties, team buildings
