There are 1.2 billion young people (aged 15-24) in the world. 1 billion of them want an extra job but can’t find one.
That’s why we created Yepstr and today we are Sweden's largest and fastest growing platform for typical teenage-jobs (babysitting etc.). With revenues growing 10x since 2020 we are growing our team to prepare for going international.
In fact by 2025 we will be the world’s largest employer of young people and by 2030 we will have helped more than 100 million young people to their first jobs.
As a React developer at Yepstr you are at the front line from day one. Being part of a tight dev team you are entirely responsible for your own code and your own work. With great responsibility comes great power ;) You are, and will be treated as, an owner of Yepstr from Day 1. Complete freedom - work whenever and wherever you are the most productive. We honestly don’t care. As long as you take care of our company as well as we do. At Yepstr you will have the opportunity to try out every aspect of working in a small fast-paced company. You don’t shy away from expressing leadership - whether it be technical leadership, building a great culture or setting the bar high.

Your future team
The team that's out to change the world - and give all youths a chance in the labor market - is currently 8 passionate full-time people. The product team that you'll be spending the majority of your time consists of battle scarred programmers with years of experiences as well as self taught junior developers with a crazy passion for coding.
What we offer you
People join Yepstr for two reasons. 1 - the chance to work with something good, something that will leave the world in a better state and 2 - our attractive stock option program. We pride ourselves on having one of the most generous option programs available. Because we believe that when we succeed then everyone who contributed should share in that success.
We offer a modern office in central Stockholm (Gamla Stan) right next to the water. The office is ours (not a typical shared office space), meaning that we have full control over what we want it to be like.
Furthermore, we can guarantee that you will work with some of the smartest, most ambitious people in the startup sector in Sweden. We are all focused on the same goal – making Yepstr the best thing that’s come out of Sweden since flatpacked furniture and fish roe in a tube (Kaviar).

Location
Yepstr HQ is located in Stockholm, but you don't necessarily have to. We have a well developed remote culture and we value skills, drive and thirst for knowledge over proximity to the office. The only thing we do require is that you live in a neighbouring timezone. If you are reading this and do live in Sweden, we have a beautiful office in Gamla Stan that we'd love for you to come visit. If you don't live in Sweden and decide to join Yepstr we will fly you to the office a couple times a year to make sure you are a part of our awesome team. We even offer a nice relocation package (complete with accomodations the first few months) for developers looking to join us here in Stockholm.
