Head of Development

We’re looking for a Head of Development to join a growing music tech company in Stockholm and lead a small team of 4–5 developers. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll still spend real time coding, while owning technical decisions, planning and delivery and working closely with product and marketing to turn ideas into shipped features.

Strong full-stack development experience, with the ability to work comfortably across backend, web and application development

A genuinely hands-on approach, with the ability to design, review and ship code alongside the team

Experience taking ownership of planning and delivery, including scoping work, setting priorities and keeping development moving

Strong technical decision-making skills, with the ability to take ownership of architecture as the product and team grow

A pragmatic, product-minded approach, focused on what gets built, why it matters and getting features into production

Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, marketing and the wider business

Nice to Haves:

Experience working with Python and FastAPI to build and maintain backend services and APIs
