About Us

AVTECH is a Swedish SaaS company in the aviation industry, headquartered on the 23rd floor of Kista Science Tower in Stockholm. We develop advanced digital services that help airlines worldwide optimize their operations – from fuel savings and flight trajectory optimization to improved punctuality and reduced environmental impact.

We are in a strong growth phase and are now expanding our product development team with an experienced Backend Developer. This is a key opportunity to join a technically skilled and collaborative team where your work will be directly used by airlines around the world.

The Role

We are looking for a Backend Developer with around five years of professional experience and a strong analytical mindset. You should have a solid foundation in computer science and experience working on backend systems in a professional setting.

In this role, you will help shape and build the backbone of AVTECH’s software solutions – ensuring scalability, robustness, and performance. You will work across a modern stack that involves databases, APIs, and cloud services. While we primarily use Python and Django, your experience in other backend environments is equally valuable.

We are looking for someone who enjoys understanding the system as a whole: from design principles and architecture to performance, maintainability, and operational excellence. You take pride in doing things the right way and want to build systems that last.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain backend components for AVTECH’s aviation optimization services.
• Contribute to the evolution of our architecture and development practices.
• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code with a focus on scalability and long-term quality.
• Collaborate with other developers, architects, and stakeholders to design and implement new functionality.
• Contribute to improving system performance, stability, and observability.
• Be part of a cross-functional team where software goes directly into production and is used worldwide.

What We’re Looking For

• A university degree in computer science, software engineering, or a similar technical field.
• Approximately five years of professional experience in backend software development.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a good grasp of software design principles (e.g., SOLID, DRY) and backend concepts (e.g., message queues, APIs, data modeling, security).
• Experience in at least one major backend language (Python/Django experience is a plus).
• Familiarity with cloud environments, databases, and CI/CD workflows.
• A self-driven mindset and a genuine motivation to build robust, maintainable systems.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• You already live in the Greater Stockholm area.
• Fluency in English (spoken and written) is required. Swedish is a plus.

What We Offer

• A central role in building software that directly impacts the global aviation industry.
• The opportunity to work with modern technology in a fast-growing company.
• A hybrid workplace (on-site and remote on certain days) with flexible hours, based in Kista Science Tower, Stockholm.
• Competitive salary, bonus scheme, and attractive benefits.
• A supportive and international team where your work has a direct impact.
