Software Engineer (Cloud & Data)

Hello Senior Software Engineer! Thanks for reading this far. We’re not sure how you found this post. Maybe a colleague mentioned Humblebee, maybe you read one of our stories and thought this looked like a good place to spend your days. However you got here, we’re glad you did.

Humblebee is a digital service studio in Sweden. We build digital products with ambitious companies, and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a cloud and data profile to join our product teams, where business, design and tech sit at the same table.

Why this role exists

Software engineering has changed. AI went from a feature you bolt on to a material you build with. That means knowing what to build, getting the data in order, and making the thing survive contact with production and real users.

We’re looking for breadth, and for someone who doesn’t need to be led. You see what needs doing, you say it out loud, and you get it done.

You might be the spearhead: one engineer covering everything a client needs. You might work in a duo with a service designer, where the two of you cover each other’s blind spots. You might sit in a multidisciplinary team with engineers, designers and business-minded colleagues, sometimes ours, sometimes the client’s.

The mix shifts with the assignment. The work could include:

Is this you?

You’re a strong engineer first. You’re curious about how a business makes money, not just about the stack. You’d rather ship a small thing that works than a big thing that demos well. AI helps you move fast, and you still own what comes out: it has to hold up a year from now, for whoever picks it up next.

You likely have:

We like T-shaped people: deep in something, useful across the whole. Nobody knows everything, and we don’t expect you to. We do expect you to feel responsible for the whole, and to be straight about where your edges are.

We hire people as much for their human traits as for their skills. We like good humans around us. We work in the open, in design sprints, development sprints and workshops with clients, so we hire people who are empathetic, kind, patient and generous. We are Humblebee.

Before you apply, read this carefully

To help us find the right fit, we prioritise candidates on these criteria:

Tell us about concrete projects. What was the business problem, what did you build, what changed as a result. Outcomes beat tech lists.

Good to know

This position is full-time, based in our Gothenburg office with a hybrid working model (part office, part home). A Swedish work permit is required. We don’t offer relocation assistance or visa sponsorship.
