Welcome to experiment!
As Sweden's largest housing portal - and one of the most used digital products in Sweden - millions of users enjoy what we build every week. Although we have been around for twenty years, and engaged so many people already, we are as playful and fast-moving as a startup.
At Hemnet, you'll be part of creating the future of how people sell and buy their homes. Experimenting, evaluating and building will be part of your day. Our large amount of users gives us data driven guidance in a short time. What we build in the morning is often out in production for our users already after lunch.
The development department is the biggest team at Hemnet with around 60 people. We are six small, cross-functional teams, all working in an agile and self-propelled way, playing a big part of the full product development cycle.
We are building products for people looking to buy a new home, people looking to sell a property, property brokers, and our b2b partners. We also develop a powerful, approachable and stable application platform enabling the development teams to release and maintain their products. This means that we develop a variety of different technical solutions, products and tools at Hemnet, to mention a few: Tools to to discover locations, for recommended listings and for notifications, API:s, payment solutions, search tools, integrations, tools to provide data and for price calculation, back office systems, and tools for CI/CD, release pipeline and monitoring.

I would describe Hemnet as helpful, playful and encouraging. We basically have the desire to experiment and the enthusiasm of a small startup, and the know-how, manpower and experience of a big company. It's the best of both worlds if you ask me! We truly care about what our colleagues think and take that into consideration when we're planning our work and evaluating initiatives. Hemnet is very democratic in that way. But we also listen to our users’ opinions and continuously encourage them to give us feedback. Also, we try to celebrate the small victories (which means we eat a lot of cake).
