Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Employment type: Full-time (On-site, 5 days per week)
Team: Engineering
Lovable is building the last piece of software the world will ever need—a platform where anyone can create powerful apps and websites by chatting with AI. We’re a small, fast-moving European team of builders, physicists, and product thinkers, driven by curiosity and a mission to make software creation universally accessible.
We’re looking for a software engineer with a systems mindset to work at the heart of our platform and infrastructure. This is an opportunity to help design, build, and own the core systems that power next-generation AI engineering, ensuring they are blazing fast, robust, and resilient as Lovable scales.
Why Lovable?
- Over 60 million projects built on the platform since fall 2024, serving individuals and teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk
- Backed by a small group of highly collaborative founders, engineers, and AI experts; recognized by TIME, Forbes, and CNBC as one of Europe’s most ambitious and influential AI companies
- Extreme ownership, fast product cycles, and a strong, low-ego team culture centered on rapid learning and high impact
The Role
You will design, build, and support Lovable’s core platform systems, enabling engineers and AI agents to perform at global scale. We expect you to:
- Architect and maintain complex services such as a gVisor-based runtime for agentic workloads and a high-throughput sandbox scheduler spanning multiple cloud providers
- Harden infrastructure against failures, downtime, and slowdowns, ensuring Lovable’s infrastructure never becomes a bottleneck
- Plan and implement strategic cloud networking and platform architecture
- Identify and drive reliability improvements, collaborating closely with other engineering teams
What Makes You a Strong Fit
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating production infrastructure as a Software Engineer, Systems Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer, or similar
- Proven coding skills in at least one systems-oriented language (Go, Rust, C++, or similar), with a focus on clean and performant software
- Deep understanding of container orchestration and sandboxing internals (schedulers, runtimes, isolation boundaries), not just configuration and deployment
- Previous work on high-throughput, unpredictable-load services—ideally at a global tech company or scaling environment
- Excellent judgment balancing reliability, security, stability, and speed in high-velocity settings
- Comfortable working in ambiguous, rapidly evolving contexts and collaborating cross-functionally
- Ability to work on-site in Stockholm 5 days a week, and fluency in English (the company language)

How We Work
- Small, focused teams move quickly. You’ll own problems end-to-end, from scoping and design to shipping and scaling.
- Collaboration is hands-on and low-ego. We welcome pragmatic trade-offs and value simplicity, reliability, and speed.
Practical Details
