Bring AI to Life at Scale — Join Simployer's Applied AI Team
At Simployer, we’re shaping the future of HR technology. Our goal is simple but ambitious: to make it easier to be a great employer. Now, we’re entering a new phase — building a powerful internal AI platform to enhance all parts of our product suite.
We’re looking for a Backend Engineer who’s eager to apply cutting-edge AI tools to real products — someone who understands technology deeply, but who’s driven by the opportunity to create value with it.
What We Offer
- Collaborative Culture – Join a supportive, dynamic team dedicated to learning and growth.
- Professional Development – Access opportunities to expand your skills and grow within the organization.
- Competitive Compensation – Enjoy a market-aligned salary and benefits package.
- Real Impact – Make a significant impact on our products, clients, and business.
The Role: Build the AI Infrastructure Behind Our Products
As a Backend Engineer in our AI team, you won’t be training models — you’ll be putting AI to work across Simployer’s ecosystem. You’ll help extend our internal AI engine, integrate it into our domain modules, and make it accessible, reliable and scalable.
You’ll work hands-on with C#, Python or TypeScript to build APIs and backend functionality that powers AI-driven features. Whether it’s contextual assistants, intelligent workflows or smart insights — your work will shape how AI becomes a native part of our platform.
This is applied AI with impact — designed, built and shipped to production.
Work with great people
Skills & Requirements
What You'll Be Doing
- Develop and maintain our internal AI API and platform components
- Integrate AI features into existing backend modules across multiple domains
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the AI adds user value
- Stay up to date with AI developments and iterate based on what works
- Work closely with developers and QAs across Stockholm, Sarpsborg and Gdansk
You’ll be joining a tight-knit, high-performing team that moves fast and values autonomy, ownership and delivery over job titles.
You’ll thrive in this role if you have:
- Solid experience with backend development in C#, Python or TypeScript — to build reliable, scalable code
- A pragmatic, learning mindset — AI is evolving fast, and so are we
- Strong problem-solving skills and autonomy — you can explore new code and figure out the context
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience — enough to contribute without needing a long ramp-up
- Fluent English skills (written and spoken) — our teams are cross-location and international
Bonus points if you also have:
- Experience with frontend tech like React
- Startup/scale-up mindset — getting value out fast, working across domains
- Strong communication and collaboration skills — explaining ideas and pushing projects forward
We care more about your mindset than your résumé. If you’re the kind of developer who enjoys solving complex problems and thrives in teams where initiative is valued — we want to hear from you.
