Fullstack Developer - Advertising Technology

Want to write code that quietly impacts the lives of millions of people, one ad impression at a time?

Advertising finances a significant part of the news our journalists produce at Schibsted's media companies such as Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, TV4 and VG . Behind every ad lies the technology that ensures they are fetched, rendered, displayed and measured across our websites and apps.

We are looking for a full-stack developer to further our ambitions in making our tools and platforms ever more efficient, scalable, modular, and similar fanciful adjectives.

The position reports to the Technical Product Manager of the Ads Inventory team, and is based in Oslo - but our department is spread across our offices in Oslo, Stockholm and Krakow.

You will help develop and scale the platform that powers Schibsted's adtech stack.

In the past, each editorial team defined where ads should appear, in what formats and sizes, with what targeting, and under what conditions. Today, this is governed by a growing set of rules and stakeholders across Schibsted, and the systems behind it are complex. Our job is to turn that complexity into a platform that is as simple, scalable and modular as possible.

Our goal is a platform that any online newspaper can rely on to smoothly run their advertising and generate revenue, where changes to configurations and formats are handled through our own tooling - not a developer's inbox.

• Develop and maintain the tools and services used to configure advertising across Schibsted's websites and apps
• Build modern web interfaces for managing complex advertising configurations
• Contribute to SDKs, libraries and shared components used by other teams
• Investigate technical issues across applications, SDKs and browser environments
• Use AI-assisted tools to explore, prototype and deliver solutions

You are either an experienced developer, or a developer who has recently graduated but has a strong drive and big ambitions, who likes the idea of working in the biggest Nordic news organization. We strongly believe news is an integral part of our modern democracy and way of life, and our ad technology is what fuels all of it. So in a sense, this job is the saviour of democracy. At least a small part of it.

We believe you have...

• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and JavaScript, including things like Observers and Custom Events
• Experience building modern web interfaces using React, HTML and CSS
• Experience with backend things like Node.js and Express.js
• A deep understanding of how iframes and cross-window communication work
• An interest in learning, or have experience with, React Query and AWS services like S3, CloudFront, SQS, DynamoDB
• Some knowledge of building libraries, packages or shared components used by other developers or teams
• The ability to take ownership of investigating unclear issues and driving them forward

You need to have...

• Work and residence permit in Sweden
• Swedish language skills on a level where you comfortably read Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet or other Swedish news media in your daily life.

• Ownership over systems that shape how a major Nordic media house runs its advertising
• Room to use AI and new tools to explore and prototype, not just ship tickets
• A small, autonomous, agile team inside a large company

We primarily work from the office, but there's nothing wrong with putting on your headphones and finding a quiet corner. This role is based in Stockholm, with colleagues and like-minded developers across our offices in Oslo, Stockholm, and Krakow.
