Senior Web Developer at Omni

The role : Senior web developer

We are searching for a senior developer who is passionate and loves turning ideas into fast, accessible interfaces. You will drive technical decisions in your domain, shape new features together with product and UX, and mentor others in modern web practices. You’ll collaborate closely with 8 other developers, contributing to everything from optimizing our design system to feature development.

Key responsibilities include :

• Build rich user interfaces in React and TypeScript that feel great on phones, tablets, and desktop
• Work side by side with UX to move from Figma to production, refining details along the way
• Champion accessibility, ensuring every release meets WCAG guidelines and passes audits
• Keep performance in top shape through profiling, bundle analysis, and progressive enhancement
• Drive our design system with Storybook, reusable components, and clear documentation
• Write tests with Vitest and React Testing Library, automate checks in CI, and review pull requests
• Stay close to readers and analytics, using data to guide improvements and experiments

Our stack and tools :

We work with a modern tech stack and believe in using the right tools for the job. The technologies and tools you’ll be using include :

Vitest, React Testing Library, and Playwright for tests

We value your ability to adapt and learn new tools as needed.

Who We're Looking For

Beyond your technical skills, we care deeply about how you work and interact with the team. You might be a great fit if you are :

We value passion and willingness to grow over flashy credentials. You won’t find any “rockstar” or “10x developer” labels here – just a friendly team looking for a collaborative, capable engineer who wants to build something meaningful together.

Our Team & Work Environment

You’ll be joining a small, agile development team of 10 people . We operate more like a close-knit startup team within the larger media group. That means everyone’s ideas count and you’ll have a real impact on product decisions and the technical direction. We plan, build, and problem-solve together – whether it’s brainstorming a feature or debugging a production issue, expect a supportive atmosphere where everyone pitches in.

Our culture is collaborative, humble, and pragmatic . We care about doing things well without unnecessary fuss or ego. We hold code reviews to maintain quality and share knowledge. We prefer simple, robust solutions over complicating things with the latest shiny tech (unless it truly adds value!). Continuous improvement is part of our DNA – be it refining a deployment script or tweaking our news feed algorithm, we’re always looking to make things better as a team.

Work setup : We have a hybrid work environment . Our office is in Stockholm, Sweden (where the majority of the team is based), and we typically spend part of the week together in person and part working remotely. At the same time, we're a distributed team, with folks in Oslo, Norway, and Gdansk, Poland. We’re flexible about remote vs. on-site days – the goal is to combine focused work-from-home time with in-person collaboration and camaraderie. You can expect a healthy work-life balance; while we’re passionate about our mission, we also value our team’s well-being (crunch times are rare to nonexistent).
