Senior Backend Engineer

Here at Waitwhile we're on a mission to eliminate the 1 trillion hours people spend waiting in lines every year. Our platform

combines virtual waitlists, scheduling, real-time updates, messaging, and analytics to make access to places, services, and events

seamless, online or in person. Trusted by 10,000+ companies, Waitwhile has already helped over 150 million people enjoy a

radically better waiting experience. Our clients include IKEA, Louis Vuitton, Costco, Delta Airlines, and thousands more. We’re

just getting started, and we need your help.

As a member of our Service Intelligence team, you’ll focus on the backend systems, infrastructure, and data foundations that power

Waitwhile at enterprise scale and enable our clients to access valuable insights on their daily operations. You’ll work closely

with our CTO and our cross-functional engineering teams, contributing to scalable, high-impact features that improve both our

platform and user experience.

This is also where we’re building the foundation for our AI initiatives, working with rich operational data to unlock smarter

insights around things like wait times, staffing, and service performance.

Our tech stack includes TypeScript and JavaScript, NodeJS, Firebase, Firestore, BigQuery, Angular, and React, running on Linux in

Google Cloud Platform.

While engineers may specialize deeply, Waitwhile increasingly values end-to-end product ownership and cross-stack collaboration as

the organization scales. We're open to different backgrounds; what matters most is your drive, problem-solving acumen, and

ambition to level up your skills while building something that truly makes a difference.

Our stance on AI: We are forward-leaning and actively leverage AI to boost efficiency, streamline code reviews, and automate

repetitive tasks. However, we are not a "vibe coding" shop. We care deeply about software craftsmanship, we look for engineers who

take pride in reading, writing, and thoroughly understanding the code they ship.

This position is based in Stockholm at our offices on Kungsgatan 32. We’re a hybrid company and prefer that you work from the

office at least 2 days per week, as we believe the best product gets built together, live.

• Full engineering lifecycle including technical design, implementation, automated testing, deployment, and production

monitoring.

We want Waitwhile to be an incredible place to work. We offer great benefits and perks, flexible working hours and lots of

interesting challenges. We believe in making work fun and rewarding and care about your development and are committed to your

success. Join Waitwhile at this exciting stage and help shape both our future and your own.

Waitwhile has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little

better every single day. We aim to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative. If this sounds like a good fit for

you, what are you waiting for? Apply for this job!
