The salary is a bit low for the engineering jobs, the recommended salary without any experience at all is almost 4000 โ‚ฌ/month. While the recommended salary is higher than most people get, it should be possible to get around 3500 โ‚ฌ/month. But the remote-first and flexible hours are perks that compensates for some of the lower salary.

If not exclusive from people in Denmark, it can be very decent for several EU countries (Romania, Greece, maybe Spain or Portugal).

Fully remote is also an amazing perk.

Well, as a software engineer, I was told my current job was at risk today. Do I take this as a sign?

I hope they don't overhire and struggle to finance it privately.

Never heard of this, I'm glad to see a project like this, I wish you the best of luck!

aw damn. i don't have the swedish proficiency. or the swedish law proficiency. but every job i've had has been waist deep in confidentiality and a few they've used me as the liaison between IT and legal. And civil law isn't that tricky to pick up once you've got a basic background, and I'm only 7 generations out of Sweden, and... aw i'm too old to start learning that many new tricks in time for a job interview.

In most companies in Sweden it is fine to speak English. In a company that develops an app I would even assume that everything is in English except for the legal stuff.

yeah, in order to communicate between legal and anyone i'd need to be level 5 proficient (fluent, indistinguishable from native. sorry, using interpreter certification levels because it's what i know) in swedish and i can only order food and find out where the bathroom is right now. i'm not even level 1. no fucking way i can get up to level 5 in time for a job interview, that'd take at least 3 years of total immersion and working at a law firm.

Cool! I would apply if I was competent in one of those!
