About Carla
At Carla, we believe that more people should be able to drive electric vehicles. That’s why we’re building the safest, most convenient, and transparent way to buy, sell, or lease an electric car online. Founded in 2020 in Stockholm with strong VC backing, Carla is now in an exciting growth phase.

About the Role
We are seeking a talented and motivated senior level Frontend Engineer to join our Product / Tech team. Our team is all about crafting software that feels natural, honest, and joyful to use. We care deeply about the details of usability, accessibility, and performance, and we work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that the products we build support our business objectives. As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will play a key role in disrupting the used car industry by envisioning and implementing ambitious software solutions, both for our internal and external users.

The development team is remote-first (EU timezone only), and this is primarily a fully remote position. If you live in Stockholm, Sweden, you are also more than welcome to work from the office. Let us know what works best for you!

What you’ll get to do:

  • Develop our internal applications written in ReScript as well as our public facing website running Next.js and TypeScript.
  • Contribute to all stages in the product development cycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
  • Build software in a cross functional team with UX, design, product and engineering working together as one.
  • Learn and grow your wider skills from senior colleagues across many disciplines / departments at a startup where you can stay close to the entire business.

Who we look for:

  • At least 5+ years of working experience as a frontend engineer
  • A plus if you have experience with ReScript or any other functional programming language
  • Skilled in React
  • Curiosity to learn new tools, technologies and languages
  • A good communicator. Enjoys discussing different solutions to solve technical as well as UX problems
  • Empathy. The ambition and will to empower the people around you, a mindset of leading through example

Some of the technologies we work with

  • ReScript for our internal system called BackOffice
  • TypeScript and Javascript - for our external website on carla.se
  • React
  • Next.js
  • Relay
  • GraphQL
  • CSS/HTML

What is in it for you?
Most of all, this is a fantastic opportunity to work for a category-defining company, with great values, and a business model that doesn't talk about sustainability - but is based on it.

Apart from that we offer:

  • Joining one of Sweden’s LinkedIn 2022 & 2023 Top 10 Startups 
  • A career-defining role at an early-stage startup and an opportunity to grow and learn from knowledgeable co-workers
  • We’re a start-up, which means we work smarter, not harder. Life-work balance still plays an important role in creating long-lasting productivity and output
  • A workplace that believes strength is found in diversity. We hire people regardless of background, education, experience or gender
  • Market competitive salary and stock option program
  • GraphQL
  • CSS/HTML

So, If you are looking to join a capable and collaborative team and directly impact both product quality and team effectiveness, apply today! We’re fast, both in terms of recruitment and when it comes to growing our business. We have no plans on stopping anytime soon, and hopefully, this is where you come in!

Please submit your application by including your CV, LinkedIn, GitHub or Portfolio.
