About Acast
Since 2014, Acast has been building the world’s most valuable podcast marketplace, creating the technology that connects podcast creators, advertisers, and listeners. Its marketplace spans more than 140,000 podcasts, 3,300 advertisers, and one billion quarterly listens. Crucially, those listens are monetized wherever they happen—across any podcast app or listening platform.

About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer that has the ability to work full stack, with the frontend development skills and experience to deliver products with delightful user experience.

Sponsorships were the original advertising format used in the podcasting industry, and to this day are a key benefit of advertising in the creator economy: they allow advertisers to leverage the trusted relationship between creator and audience. Our sponsorship collaboration team aims to deliver a high quality user experience for both creators and advertisers in planning and collaborating on sponsorships by providing streamlined collaboration and campaign execution tools.

The team uses technologies such as AWS Glue and Lambda to integrate data with both internal and external systems, surfaced in applications built with React.

You will work in an autonomous, purpose driven team and take an important role in shipping new features while continuously increasing efficiency, stability and scalability of the systems. You are expected to contribute to software development within your team but we also expect everyone to understand and contribute to other areas of the product development. You will be working in a multi-disciplinary environment with agile principles.

We run our infrastructure and systems on AWS. The systems are written in Node.js and Typescript and you are expected to work with and be interested in that.

Who you are

• You are interested in learning or have experience with Node.js & Typescript

• You are interested in learning or have experience with React

• You have experience building delightful end user facing applications

• You have a pragmatic mindset and can make trade-offs on what to optimise for and when to ship

• You are keen to mentor others in the technical aspects you are already an expert in and you value working in a diverse team with developers of all experience and backgrounds. You value other people’s input no matter their experience level.

Where you will be

• Most of our teams are hybrids with some members co-located in offices and some working remotely. With a remote first way of working we want you to feel productive regardless of work location!

• For this role we’re hiring within Sweden, and therefore applicants will need the right to work in Sweden.

• We want to avoid teams distributed over time-zones, so this team will operate within the CET time zone for collaboration. This setup allows us for more flexibility and work-life balance.

Culture 

Acast is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, national origin or any of the other wonderful characteristics that make us different.

Culture is our number one priority as a business. We believe people come first, and we work every day to enable autonomy, continuous improvement and bring out the best in people. We’re global and have remote teams, so it’s even more important that we strive for an open, inclusive and caring environment where everyone feels visible and welcome. 

We consider ourselves a modern organization driven by strong values to create the best, most fulfilling and nurturing culture.

We very much look forward to finding the next great person to join our cause!
