Hello from your Manager! My name is Gustav and I started at Blocket as an Android developer 7 years ago, but about 3 years ago I decided to step back a bit from hands-on development and try the Engineering Manager role. As a manager I strive to have an open and relaxed relationship with my team and to be there to help out with anything they need. I try to be part of the team and to be present and take part when we plan how to solve problems for our users. I am looking forward to meeting you and finding out what you can bring to the mix to improve the team!
Interested in joining the Blocket world? We look forward to hearing from you! Send your CV or apply with your LinkedIn-profile and let us know what makes you tick. We would love to get to know you a bit better! Have a link to some neat stuff on github? Make sure to include a link when you apply.
Blocket services are for everyone and so is our workplace. We have an inclusive culture and we see diversity as a great advantage to create great products and services for our users and clients. We still have a lot more to do and therefore really welcome your perspective.
