We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer with strong Vue experience to join one of our cross-functional product teams here in Stockholm.

This role is about building meaningful user experiences, not just implementing tickets. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Backend engineers to ship improvements that real users interact with every day.

Our frontend environment

  • Vue 3

  • TypeScript

  • REST APIs (Laravel backend)

  • CI/CD pipelines

  • Monitoring and performance tooling

  • Map and geospatial integrations

Who you are

We're looking for someone who:

  • Have strong experience with Vue (ideally Vue 3) and TypeScript

  • Are comfortable managing complex frontend state

  • Care about performance and clean architecture

  • Enjoy working closely with others to shape product decisions

About Flightradar24

Flightradar24 tracks positions of aircraft in real-time and turns that data into engaging consumer and business applications. The data comes primarily from a proprietary, crowd-sourced network of 50,000+ so-called ADS-B receivers hosted by private individuals and companies all over the world and tracks 250,000+ flights per day. This network of ADS-B receivers is the largest in the world.

In addition to ADS-B data, Flightradar24 is able to get positional data for non-ADS-B equipped aircraft through the use of Multilateration (MLAT). The ADS-B and MLAT data is merged with schedule and flight status data from airlines and airports to create a unique flight tracking experience. You can read more about how Flightradar24 works here:
