Senior Developer at Klarna's Engineering department at Klarna (Full-time)

Jobs - - June 26, 2012

The year was 2005 and e-commerce had long been precarious. With an idea to offer secure and simple payment solutions, Klarna was founded that same year. Six years have passed and we have grown to an ambitious and creative company of 600 employees. We have been awarded Company of the Year in -07 (bragging), increased our turnover by 13 570 % (statistics) and managed to become the Nordic market leader (facts). Klarna is partly owned by Sequoia Capital, DST Global and General Atlantic - companies that have seen the same potential in Google, Facebook and Twitter as they do in us. We think that is a good start.

At the Engineering department we are about 100 Engineers, and this is only the beginning of our journey of building the best Engineering Department in the world. We are therefore always keeping an eye out for talented and highly motivated people. We believe in empowering our employees, it is up to you how much you would like to grow.
