Mentimeter is an engagement tool with a clear goal in mind. To turn presentations into conversations. Through real-time interactivity and clear visualizations, we get people to participate, engage and become more productive. Transforming all those passive meetings, airless classrooms and drawn out trainings into valuable and memorable moments.
We truly believe that you achieve the best results by doing things together. And that successful leaders need to adopt a curious and collaborative mindset in order to get there. So with you at Mentimeter, you’ll be a big part of the ambition to help over 1 billion people listen, learn and work better together.
Mentimeter serves hundreds of millions of users with services we deploy roughly 40 times a week. With transaction loads up to hundreds of votes per second, we need to scale while delivering a fast and smooth experience.
We work in small, independent, cross-functional teams. Each team's product manager works with the team to organize and plan the backlog, with a focus on continuously delivering value to our users.
Please note that we are an English-first company, meaning you don't have to know Swedish to work here. Make sure your application and relevant documents are in English.
About the Workspace Experience Team
You'll be joining our Workspace Experience team, where our mission is to enable users and organizations to gain compounding value from being part of a shared workspace. We're building systems that support workspace growth at every scale - from small teams with just a few licenses to enterprise organizations with thousands of users.
Our team helps users unlock additional value from their shared organizational context and embeds Mentimeter deeper into their everyday work.
Beyond coding, you'll help shape strategic decisions about workspaces and their capabilities. You'll develop deep insight into how organizations grow and what they need to manage Mentimeter effectively, from team collaboration patterns to enterprise-grade requirements.
What you'll do
As a fullstack engineer at Mentimeter, you'll be an integral part of a cross-functional product team, implementing user experiences that affect millions of people worldwide. You'll work with other engineers, a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and an Engineering Manager. Even though there are specific roles in the team, we solve problems together. We want someone who engages with the team in product and design decisions and doesn't shy away from discussions. This role is for someone who wants to do more than just write code 8 hours a day.
Delivering value to our customers and users is essential, but an equally important task is helping other engineers scale and grow. To succeed in this role, you must enjoy mentoring others and be motivated by seeing them develop—not only as developers, but as product engineers driving the product forward. You should enjoy the entire product development chain: breaking down user problems into feasible work, writing and testing code, and ensuring it efficiently gets to production. This means a reasonable amount of context-switching will be expected during sprints.
Who you are
For this role, we're looking for at least 6 years of related work experience as a fullstack engineer with a strong understanding of product development. You most likely also have a master's degree in a relevant engineering field. Passion and expertise within backend engineering is a plus.
You're a reliable, high-performing individual contributor with a solid understanding of your area of specialization. You have a good idea of what you want to do and then just do it. You embrace change and short feedback loops.
We hope you bring a passion for software development, scalable architecture, and building great products. Code quality is important to us, so an interest in quality, testing, and automation is essential. Excellent communication skills and the ability to work both independently and in a team are other traits we look for in all our colleagues.
Last but not least, you must have a curious mindset, be open to learning and sharing knowledge, and be interested in working with our tech stack.
The technologies we use
Our stack consists of a frontend written in React (Next.js and TypeScript), and a backend written in Ruby (not Rails), supported by:
We're looking for someone who is comfortable moving across the stack in both frontend and backend. If you know Ruby, that's great, but knowing another backend language well and being willing to learn Ruby is equally fine. It's more important to us that you have the right attitude than the exact right skill set.
