Arbetsbeskrivning

We’re looking for exceptional Software Engineers to help shape the future of hiring. You’ll work across our stack to build products that make hiring fair, predictive, and delightful — for everyone.

At Alva Labs, we’re redefining how companies hire — replacing gut feeling with science. We’re building an AI-first Hiring System — the only platform companies need to define roles, assess candidates, make confident decisions, and continuously improve their hiring. It replaces fragmented tools with one cohesive system designed to make hiring accurate, fair, and scalable. Leading companies across Europe trust us to make hiring more accurate, inclusive, and scalable.

We’re a small, ambitious team building from Stockholm, Sweden. We value ownership, velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We care deeply about our craft and each other — and we’re driven to build something that lasts.

Joining now means being part of the growth journey as we scale our product, explore new AI-powered capabilities, and bring fair hiring to millions more people.

• Extensive experience building and shipping products end-to-end.

• Strong in modern frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend development (Python/Node.js).

• Solid understanding of system design, performance tradeoffs, and scalable architecture.

• Product mindset — you can balance speed with long-term thinking and make well-reasoned decisions.

• Collaborative spirit — you thrive in cross-functional teams with product, design, data, and ML.

In one sentence: Build the core Alva experience and take it to the next level.

• Design, build, and maintain features across the stack — frontend, backend, and infrastructure.

• Take ownership of systems end-to-end: from architecture to implementation, deployment, and iteration.

• Collaborate closely with data scientists, designers, ML engineers, and product managers to turn ideas into intuitive experiences.

• Drive projects through the full lifecycle: planning, shipping, learning, and improving.

We use tools that keep us fast, stable, and happy:

• Frontend: React, TypeScript

• Backend: Python, Node.js

• Infrastructure: Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, and many LLM providers

• Data & Analytics: Python, BigQuery, dbt

• DevOps & Tooling: GitHub, Terraform

• Fill out a short application.

• Objective screening with Alva’s own tests (and your first interaction with the product we're building!)

• Quick intro call with our Talent team.

• Complete a quick coding exercise.

• Show us how you approach problems during a live-coding session + a system design interview.

• Meet more of the team and tell us about a project you’re proud of.

• Background- and ID check.

• Please apply in English — it’s our company language
