Job Description

Do you want to work on the core engine of our business? As a Backend Developer, you'll design, build and maintain robust server-side applications that power Axis Communications' core business systems. You'll work on both new features and the modernization of existing platforms, improving performance and reliability at scale. Join us at our headquarters in Lund, Sweden, and help shape the future of smart and secure technology solutions.

Who is your future team?

We are a diverse group in terms of nationalities, ages and education, with a strong sense of camaraderie. In our team, you can always find someone to discuss your ideas with, even if you're not working on the same project. There's always someone to have a coffee break or share a laugh with. Word around the corridors at Axis is that our team welcomes everyone, and people feel part of the team from day one.

In this role, you'll have a unique opportunity to work in development where the road from idea to implementation is short. You'll see that your contribution makes a difference, and your colleagues are eager to hear your ideas and put them into practice!

What you'll do here as Backend Developer

You'll work on the core engine of our business, improving the systems that our most critical operations rely on. The work combines new feature development with maintaining and modernizing existing systems. Because the role combines backend development with DevOps responsibilities, you'll work across the full application lifecycle.

In this role, you will:

• Develop, test and maintain scalable, reliable backend services and APIs, primarily in Python and PHP

• Manage and troubleshoot our applications and infrastructure in a Linux environment

• Write and maintain Bash scripts to automate deployment, monitoring and operational tasks

• Collaborate with front-end developers and other team members to deliver high-quality features

• Take ownership of features and systems, from concept to deployment and maintenance

• Maintain, refactor and improve existing legacy codebases

• Identify and propose new ideas for improving our systems and development processes

Who are you?

You're a problem-solver at heart, with a strong sense of responsibility. You take ownership of your work and see it through to completion. You're comfortable navigating different technologies, and your curious mind means you're always eager to learn something new and stay up to date. You enjoy bringing new ideas to the table to solve problems and improve processes. You thrive in a collaborative environment where your ideas are valued, and you're a team player who brings a positive attitude and helps make work fun.

We'd love to hear that you have:

• Strong proficiency in backend development with Python and/or PHP.

• Solid experience working within a Linux environment, including command-line proficiency.

• Demonstrable ability to write clean, efficient Bash scripts for automation.

• Experience with databases such as MySQL.

• Experience with building and consuming RESTful APIs and queue systems.
