Job Description
At AKQA (part of WPP), we believe in the imaginative application of art and science to create beautiful ideas, products and services. With an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach, we design adaptive digital services and applications that capture the imagination, delivering impressive returns for our clients. Located in Gothenburg, you will take technical ownership of medium to large-scale web platforms, contributing hands-on while guiding architectural and delivery decisions. Working closely with design, UX, product, and client stakeholders, you will translate business goals into robust, scalable technical solutions. You will provide technical leadership through mentoring, code reviews, and pairing, helping to raise engineering standards and quality across the team. The role involves designing and evolving front-end and back-end architectures with a strong focus on performance, accessibility, security, and maintainability, while proactively identifying technical risks, delivery bottlenecks, and systemic issues. You will champion high-quality engineering practices such as automated testing, CI/CD, and observability, and operate comfortably within Agile, Lean, or hybrid delivery models, adapting processes pragmatically to suit the context.
