Love heavy-duty backend development, but enjoy being the person in the room who can translate tech jargon to the marketing team? We’re looking for a MarTech & CRM Developer who speaks fluent Node.js, thinks in event-driven architecture, and knows how to get the absolute most out of our CRM stack. If you get excited by complex data pipelines and bringing tech and business together – welcome home.
With over 40 million visits each month, you’ll be part of Sweden’s most popular property platform – and one of the world’s most admired real estate platforms.
What you’ll do
At Hemnet, our CRM and marketing technology stack is at the heart of how we engage with millions of home buyers, sellers, and real estate agents. Your primary mission will be to own, build, and scale our CRM ecosystem, ensuring seamless data flows, rock-solid APIs, and high-performing integrations.
In this role, communication and technical depth go hand in hand. You won't just write elegant code; you will be the key translator between technical systems and commercial strategy.
CRM Architecture & Integrations at Scale: Lead the technical implementation, database architecture, and API integrations for our CRM ecosystem (specifically working with platforms like Customer.io). You’ll build resilient data pipelines that process high volumes of real-time user signals.
Build & Scale Backend Services: Design, evolve, and maintain production-grade microservices using Node.js and GraphQL, ensuring high availability, security, and speed.
Be the Bridge Between Tech & Marketing: Act as the vital communication link between Engineering and Marketing/Commercial teams. You excel at translating business needs into modern technical architecture, and explaining complex backend concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
AI-First Engineering: Actively leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) in your daily workflow to accelerate development, optimize architecture, and solve complex problems faster.
Collaborate & Mentor: Drive technical standard methodologies, conduct thorough code reviews, and mentor team members in an open, empathetic engineering culture.
Who you are
You are a seasoned software developer with a strong technical foundation and a genuine interest in how data drives customer engagement. You enjoy heavy backend coding, complex system architecture, and taking ownership of how data moves across an enterprise ecosystem.
Required skills:
Proven CRM Experience: Solid experience working with, integrating, or building architectures around modern CRM systems or Customer Engagement Platforms (experience with Customer.io or similar event-driven CRM/marketing automation tools is a huge plus).
Heavy Backend Expertise: Strong hands-on engineering experience with Node.js and frameworks like Nest.js, alongside experience designing resilient REST/GraphQL APIs and event-driven data flows.
Mastery of AI Tools: AI is an integrated part of how you work. You have proven experience using modern AI tooling (such as Claude, Copilot, or similar) to write, test, and refactor code, as well as to architect solutions.
Exceptional Communication Skills: You enjoy working cross-functionally. You love being the person who brings Tech and Marketing together, making sure both sides understand the why, the how, and the technical possibilities.
Database & Data Architecture Skills: Comfort with handling complex data modeling, relational/non-relational databases, and real-time data pipelines.
