Job Description

Flightradar24 is one of the most successful growth-stage tech companies in Stockholm. Each month more than 50 million aviation enthusiasts visit Flightradar24 (app/website) and our Commercial services team has many of the biggest names in aviation on its customer list.

We are looking for a senior full-stackt engineer to join one of our cross-functional product teams. You’ll help build and evolve web products at global scale. Working closely with product and design to ship features that matters to users.

This is a product role, not a hand-off pipeline. You will help to shape what we build, not just how it is implemented.

Note that this position requires that you are able to work in Stockholm, Sweden. Relocation is not offered for this role.

What you’ll do

  • Own outcomes with your product team. Collaborate with your team to understand user problems and shape solutions.

  • Build and evolve web products in PHP (Laravel) and Vue using modern engineering practices.

  • Ship iteratively. Release, measure, learn, and refine.

  • Create tools and dashboards with user feedback to guide decisions.

  • Improve reliability and performance for products used by millions globally.

  • Contribute to a culture of clear code, constructive reviews, and shared responsibility for what we ship.

  • Evolve our platform/tooling (Docker, CI/CD) to keep delivery smooth and predictable.

Who you are

You’re a senior engineer who enjoys building products and learning about users, not just ship features.

You have strong experience with:

  • Laravel (or similar modern PHP frameworks)

  • Vue.js or modern frontend tooling

  • Typescript and node

  • RESTful APIs and backend architecture

  • Relational databases such as MySQL/MariaDB/Postgres

  • Writing maintainable, well-tested code

You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you enjoy moving across the stack when it helps the product.

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

  • Docker, CI/CD, Terraform

  • Observability and performance tooling

  • Experimentation / Feature flags

  • Horizontal scaling

And you are someone who:

  • Cares about users and likes understanding the “why” behind what we build

  • Uses data and feedback to guide technical decisions

  • Enjoys collaborating in cross-functional teams

  • Takes ownership and drives work end-to-end

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:
