At HMS Industrial Networks, we value the tremendous contributions of our employees, and we recognize that it is our people that make HMS successful. We work hard to maintain our vibrant, innovative, and welcoming culture, and we strive to support our staff as they grow and develop both personally and professionally. We are looking for a Backend Developer to join us in shaping the future of connected industrial automation. Right now, we’re building something new – a next-generation platform for industrial connectivity. Our mission is to deliver innovative embedded solutions that power industrial connectivity, from enabling smart and efficient manufacturing to supporting next-generation information and data ecosystems. And we’re looking for a skilled backend developer to be a part of this exciting journey.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be an integral part of a cross-functional project team working on our future platform and concept. This role is ideal for someone who has experience in starting up development projects, thrives in dynamic environments, and enjoys working with modern backend technologies. You will be expected to contribute with both strategic and hands-on expertise, helping guide architectural decisions while remaining a collaborative and communicative team player. We’re looking for someone who can confidently propose technical directions, make informed decisions, and adapt as priorities evolve. If you also have experience working close to hardware or in embedded systems, that’s a definite plus. We have a prestige-free working environment, where everyone wants to share their knowledge and help each other. For that reason, we prefer to work together in our Halmstad office, but working remotely a couple of days a week is an option. Key Responsibilities:

Design and develop robust, scalable, and maintainable backend solutions.
Take ownership of technical decisions and help shape the software architecture of our new platform.
Collaborate closely with other developers, product owners and stakeholders across disciplines.
Contribute with ideas to drive continuous improvement and innovation, as well as knowledge sharing across the team.
Remain flexible and open to change – we're building the future, and the road may shift along the way.

ABOUT YOU

You bring a strong backend skill set and the experience to back it up – ideally from working on several different product or platform start-ups, possibly in a consulting role. You’re used to turning ideas into architecture, and architecture into working code. You know when to lead and when to listen, and you value collaboration just as much as technical clarity. You enjoy navigating the balance between structured decisions and evolving requirements. Above all, you’re a continuous learner with a genuine interest in improving your skills and staying ahead in the ever-evolving tech landscape. Key Skills & Experience:

Strong backend development experience with a modern engineering mindset
Skilled in designing scalable architectures and working with microservices
Solid understanding of data modeling, with hands-on experience in both NoSQL and relational databases.
Comfortable driving work from ideation to implementation in early-stage projects
Collaborative team player with experience in cross-functional setups and familiarity with DevOps tools like GitHub Actions, CI/CD, and Jenkins.

Additional technical experience we value:

Experience designing REST APIs, GraphQL
Knowledge of cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure
Bonus if you’ve worked with hardware-near products or in embedded domains
