Hi there! We're Karnov Group, and we build top-tier research tools for legal professionals in Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, France, and Spain. In the Nordics you might know us for our iconic yellow books or for our iconic blue books. Now, we're growing our team here in the Nordics to manage and obtain content for all our tools, from books to AI agents. If you're a Ruby engineer with a passion for backend systems, heavy background jobs, and automated content crawling, we've got an exciting opportunity for you!

About the Team

You'll join our content acquisition and management systems team, a mix of Ruby engineers, content experts, and a product manager located in Stockholm and Copenhagen. We're crucial to Karnov's success in the Nordics, ensuring the flow of content that powers all our products. You'll collaborate with engineers from our online product and AI teams, as well as editors working with the content.

About the Role

As a Ruby engineer on our team, you'll work on systems that crawl online resources and publish well-structured content with rich metadata to our content management system. You'll also develop monitoring tools for editors and compliance workflows. Here's what to expect:

• Backend focus: Most of your work will involve background jobs that do the heavy lifting.
• A bit of fullstack: There will be some frontend work, but this is a backend-heavy role.
• Data, data, data: Our content is in XML, so you should be comfortable with Nokogiri. Brush up on your SQL skills, too!
• Cloud-based: Our applications are cloud-hosted, and we use CI/CD with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Ownership and flexibility: As a mid-level to senior engineer, you'll take ownership of your work, but we offer independence and a flexible work-from-home policy.
• Location: The role is on-site in our Stockholm or Copenhagen office.

Our Tech Stack

• Ruby
• Ruby on Rails
• Postgres and Oracle
• Sidekiq
• Redis
• Docker and Kubernetes

What We're Looking For

• Strong Ruby skills: You've got a solid background in Ruby and follow best practices.
• Independence: You can work independently within a team environment.

Bonus Points

• SQL knowledge: You're comfortable with SQL and can write efficient queries.
• XML knowledge: You're familiar with XML and have worked with it before.

We're a leading provider of critical legal, tax, and compliance information across six countries. We're transforming from a traditional publisher into a modern technology company.
