SCRL is one of Sweden's most successful tech companies you've probably never heard of.
We build creative tools used by millions of creators around the world, and have grown to more than one million paying subscribers. By combining design, technology and a deep understanding of how people create content, we're shaping the future of social media design.
We've done it without raising venture capital or chasing headlines. Instead, we've focused on creating products people genuinely love and building a company with ambitious, thoughtful people who care deeply about their craft.
What started as a highly successful mobile app is evolving into a broader creative platform. We're expanding SCRL from a single product into a cross-platform editing suite that helps creators design, collaborate and create content seamlessly across devices. This evolution brings exciting technical and organizational challenges across mobile, web and backend systems — and as Head of Engineering, you'll help lead that journey.
As we continue to scale our products and teams, we're looking for a Head of Engineering who can help raise the bar for execution, leadership and technical excellence.
As the Head of Engineering, you will manage and lead the engineering team, today consisting of 3 teams (iOS, Android and web), driving our efforts to deliver best-in-class consumer apps at scale. Your leadership will align your team's work with our product strategy, ensuring rapid and efficient progress and results. You will also be responsible for expanding the engineering organization and helping shape our future across web, backend and Kotlin Multiplatform technologies.
What you will do
Lead and manage multiple teams, creating a culture of accountability and collaboration.
Set up hiring processes and lead recruitment of exceptional engineering talent across multiple domains.
Collaborate closely with product managers and other stakeholders to deliver on growth strategies while aligning priorities and expectations.
Ensure the scalability, reliability and security of our codebases, infrastructure and systems.
Identify and mitigate risks, continuously improve workflows and help teams navigate complex challenges.
Foster a culture of strong technical judgment, thoughtful system design and high-quality execution.
Ensure teams have the resources, clarity and support needed to accomplish their goals.
You should have
Experience leading engineers, technical specialists and coaching development teams.
Exceptional leadership skills and the ability to inspire excellence through collaboration and continuous change.
A deep understanding of modern software engineering and product development practices.
A successful track record of responsibility for business-critical products and initiatives.
Experience hiring, developing and supporting engineers and leaders to maximize their growth and impact.
This is a Stockholm-based role and we work together from our office near Slussen. We're builders at heart and believe great companies are created when talented people spend time together, challenge each other and move quickly towards ambitious goals.
If you thrive in high-trust environments, enjoy a high bar for quality and want to help shape the next chapter of a profitable, product-led company, we'd love to hear from you.
