Founded in 2015, we have spent more than a decade developing technology that turns visual data into actionable intelligence.\nToday, our work spans two complementary areas: automotive, and road and public infrastructure. In the latter, our 3DAI™ system uses cameras mounted on everyday vehicles to turn visual data into structured, geo-referenced data and imagery about road conditions and road assets. The system is deployed in 15+ countries and supports road authorities, contractors and infrastructure owners in building a more current and detailed view of their road networks.\nThe role\nAs a Senior Backend Developer, you will help design, build and scale the systems behind 3DAI™. The platform stores and processes large volumes of geospatial and time-series data generated as vehicles collect information across road networks. Your work will help ensure that these systems remain reliable, maintainable and ready to scale as 3DAI™ continues to evolve.\nYou will work hands-on with Node.js, TypeScript and AWS, with substantial ownership from technical design through to production.\nYour role:\nDevelop and scale backend services that support the storage, processing and visualisation of large volumes of geospatial and time-series data.\n\nDesign efficient and maintainable solutions across APIs, database schemas, security, logging, monitoring and scaling.\n\nOwn features end-to-end, translating high-level specifications into production-grade services.\n\nDesign and work with distributed systems involving asynchronous processing, caching, queues and service-to-service communication.\n\nUse AI-assisted development and agentic workflows, including tools such as Cursor or Claude Code, to accelerate development, refactoring and automation while maintaining high engineering standards.\n\nContribute to code quality through testing, technical discussions, knowledge sharing and modern software engineering practices.\n\nWho you are\nYou are an experienced backend engineer who enjoys taking ownership of complex technical problems and turning high-level requirements into reliable, maintainable services. You are comfortable reasoning about systems end-to-end and care about the quality of what reaches production.\nYou work well with others, share knowledge openly and value feedback. You are curious about new tools and engineering practices, including AI-assisted development, and know how to use them without compromising sound technical judgement or code quality.\nWhat you bring\nRequired:\n5+ years of backend development experience, or a proven track record of equivalent depth, building production-grade services with Node.js, TypeScript and AWS.\n\nA solid understanding of REST APIs and GraphQL.\n\nStrong hands-on experience with geospatial and time-series data, including specialised tools and databases such as PostGIS.\n\nExperience with serverless computing or Infrastructure as Code (IaC), using tools such as AWS CloudFormation, Docker or the Serverless Framework.\n\nExperience designing and reasoning about distributed systems, including asynchronous processing, caching, queues and service-to-service communication.\n\nA strong approach to code quality, including unit and integration testing.\n\nBonus points\nExperience with any of the following is a plus:\nHigh-performance relational, analytical or NoSQL databases.\n\nMessaging and event-driven systems such as SQS, SNS, Kafka or similar.\n\nObservability tools for logging, monitoring, tracing and alerting.\n\nCI/CD pipelines and production deployment workflows.\n\nWhat’s in it for You?\nResponsibility: Take meaningful ownership of features and technical solutions in a small team where your work has a direct influence on the product.\n\nFlexibility: Flexible working hours and a hybrid setup combining our Stockholm office with remote work.\n\nBenefits: Occupational pension and an annual wellness allowance of up to SEK 5,000.\n\nThe Univrses culture\nAn international team: Work alongside colleagues from around the world with expertise across engineering, research and business in an open and collaborative environment.\n\nLunch & Learns: Join our weekly sessions where colleagues and external speakers share knowledge and ideas over lunch.\n\nTeam time: Start the week with Monday team breakfast and wind down together at our Friday After Work.\n\nThe workspace: A bright, collaborative office by the water at Hammarby Kaj in Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm.\n\nAre you our next Senior Backend Developer?\nIf this sounds like your kind of challenge, we'd love to hear from you. All application materials must be in English.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4666,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Computer Vision","Robotic Software & Control Systems"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T19:30:51Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.258,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":36,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/univrses-senior-backend-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/univrses-senior-backend-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T21:20:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10156,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2483094},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2483094"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Funivrses-senior-backend-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Funivrses-senior-backend-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Funivrses-senior-backend-developer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/univrses-senior-backend-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Funivrses-senior-backend-developer"}]}
