Senior Developer - Erlang at Klarna (Full-time)

Jobs - - March 05, 2013

Klarna is one of the biggest Erlang shops in the world. Not many businesses use Erlang in the scale that we do and over the years we have become really good at pushing this programming language to new levels. In our Engineering division we have around 100 Erlang developers whose combined knowledge stretches from the foundation of the Erlang Run-time System to high level architecture. By combining Erlang, RIAK, RabbitMQ we are building a multi-node, no-master system that can handle our exponential growth.

Your job as a senior developer is to take part in the entire development process, from gathering requirements to delivery. The challenge is to provide solutions that scale. The team members have a high technical level and are expected to work independently within the team to solve complex problems, from analyzing the problem to designing, planning and implementing the solutions.

We strive to always select an appropriate tool for solving the particular problem at hand. In order to achieve this we aim to have a diverse palette of skills in every team. Thus, it is not vital that you have previous experience with the specific tools that we are already using, because in our eyes, a great developer will always be a great developer.
