Staff Engineer, Consumer domain

We're building tomorrow's delivery platform

At Instabee, we're on a mission to become the undisputed #1 delivery service in the eyes of our consumers. We need exceptional engineers to help us get there.

We're looking for a Staff Engineer who can bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and technical execution. Someone who identifies opportunities, builds the right solutions, and raises the bar for everyone around them.

You will be embedded in one of our Consumer teams, the part of Instabee that sits closest to real users and real deliveries. This is a hands-on role where you will spend most of your time building, not reviewing architectural slide decks. Your job is ensuring we're building the right things, in the right way, at the right scale.

Aside from the work within the team, you will be part of a community of Staff Engineers working on cross-organisation projects and challenges.

You'll help translate business ambition into engineering execution, surface hard problems before they become expensive ones, and actively drive the engineering culture at Instabee by raising the bar, sharing knowledge, and making the organisation better at building software.

Ship things users notice Identify and build features that move the needle on user satisfaction. You'll own problems from idea to production, together with your team.

Keep the team unblocked Spot friction before it becomes a bottleneck. That might mean improving test setup, fixing a flaky deploy pipeline, or untangling a service boundary that's slowing everyone down.

Make technical trade-offs explicit Help the team choose solutions that are good enough now and don't paint us into a corner later. Scale and velocity both matter, and your job is to hold both at once.

Connect code to outcomes Help engineers understand why what they're building matters. Work with Product and Data to make sure our systems produce the signals we need to make good decisions.

Raise the bar around you Coach engineers, share what you know, and push for a culture where we learn from mistakes instead of hiding them.

You don't need to be an expert in everything your team touches, but you should care deeply about succeeding together as a team.

You're a doer. You don't just think about problems; you solve them. You're a technical leader who has built web and app (ideally consumer facing) solutions at scale, and can move fluidly between deep technical dives and high-level architectural trade-offs.

You're strategic and pragmatic. You know that perfect is the enemy of good. You favor iteration, deliver value early and often, and ship before you have the ideal solution.

You're a communicator and collaborator. You make complex technical concepts accessible to non-technical partners and thrive in cross-functional environments where engineering, product, and business move together.

You're a quality advocate who holds a high bar for stability and security, without killing the pace of innovation.

If this sounds like the kind of challenge you'd wake up excited to tackle, we'd love to hear from you.

We can promise you'll be challenged, develop your skills, and work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. If you like change and want to set new processes and ways of working — this is the place for you.

Of course, we have all the standard benefits in place. But beyond that, we also offer:

🌇 Sky-High Office — Modern and newly renovated with 360-degree views across Stockholm 🐶 Puppy Friendly — Bring your dog to work (we've got a whole floor for our furry friends) 🏓 Fun & Games — Ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, and a karaoke room 👶 Six Months Parental Pay — Step away and give your little one the care they deserve 🎂 Your Birthday Off — Celebrate yourself with a day off each year ⏰ Hybrid & Flexible — Work the way that works for you

Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of who we are. We're committed to creating an inclusive work environment where everyone's perspectives are valued and every employee has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.

This role requires a background check via Svensk Bakgrundsanalys, which includes a review of public criminal records. The results are handled confidentially as part of our standard recruitment process in Sweden. Please note that we are on holiday during July and will be starting to look at resumés first week of August.

Ready to join us? We'd love to hear how you think about technical leadership and what excites you about solving logistics at scale.
