Lylli is a Swedish tech company building the world’s first storytelling platform — reinventing how children experience stories in a digital world. By merging cutting-edge technology with captivating narratives, Lylli transforms reading into an immersive, joyful experience that fosters cognitive growth and inspires a lifelong love of books. In partnership with leading publishers, authors, and creators, Lylli unlocks unlimited access to thousands of titles — from timeless classics like Alfie Atkins and Peter-No-Tail to global sensations like Paw Patrol.
Do you want to join a fast-growing company where your work directly shapes how millions of families discover stories, learn, and fall in love with reading?
To support this, we’re looking for a Web Developer to lead the development of our internal creator & operations portal. This role is critical in establishing a scalable frontend architecture that empowers teams to build tools independently while maintaining consistency, performance, and usability.
You will help define our frontend stack (React), set standards for component libraries, and build a shared system that makes it easier for product, content, and operations to ship high-quality experiences faster.
This role is central to shaping how Lylli scales, from our reading app to our studio platform - and ensuring we can grow globally without adding complexity.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior Frontend Developer at Lylli, you’ll lead the work to design and build a scalable frontend foundation for our internal tools and enabling teams to create, launch, and operate content and AI-powered features with ease.
This position is full time and based in our Stockholm office with a hybrid working model (part office, part working from home). We apply a 6-month probationary period. You’ll need to be located in Sweden as we are unable to support relocation. Fluency in English is required as we work with international teams and partners.
