Yepstr is an app where teenagers start their careers by doing jobs in their neighborhood (babysitting, dog-minding etc.). As our Yeps (Young Entrepreneurs) level up they can charge higher hourly rates and eventually accept jobs for companies. We make sure the process is fun and safe. Now there’s a chance to join the core team in Stockholm as a backend developer.

As a backend developer at Yepstr you are really at the front line. Being part of a tight dev team you are entirely responsible for your own code and your own work. But with great power comes great responsibility ;)

We believe that you are a technical person who is always curious about learning new things. At Yepstr you will have the opportunity to try out every aspect of working in a small fast-paced team. You don’t shy away from expressing leadership - whether it be technical leadership, building a great culture or setting the bar high.

It is expected that you are experienced in different web technologies and can choose the right tool, programming language or library required for the job. You know how to make a "correct" solution, but can also pull together a quick-n-dirty version when that's required.

Base qualifications:

• Web development experience
• JavaScript (preferably ES2016+)
• Keen on creating a superb end user experience regardless of platform
• node.js

"Nice-to-have" skills:

• Parse server
• mongoDB
• Startup experience

Your future team

You will be spending most of your time with Gustav Ahlberg who has built a majority of the existing platform. You remember Swebits? Fildelning at Dreamhack? That was Gustav. More information about your team is available here: https://www.yepstr.com/files/en_ledig_stol.pdf (sorry it's in Swedish)

What Yepstr offers

Joining at this early stage means that you are offered a very attractive options programme – in another dimension compared to other startups. Depending on your experience and the amount of options you choose, we offer a salary of between 30.000 to 35.000 sek.

You are, and will be treated as, an owner of Yepstr from Day 1. Complete freedom - work whenever and wherever you are the most productive. We honestly don’t care. As long as you take care of our company as well as we do.

Furthermore, we can guarantee that you will work with some of the smartest, most ambitious people in the startup sector in Sweden. We are all focused on the same goal – making Yepstr the best thing that’s come out of Sweden since flatpacked furniture and fish roe in a tube (Kaviar).
