We're changing that.\nMember organizations and customer clubs have spent decades trying to create engagement with clumsy tools that don't adapt to individual members. The same offer to everyone. No personality. No memory.\nPerks is different. We've built a loyalty platform from the ground up. The product is modular, scalable, and white-label\u2014each organization can assemble their own experience from reusable components and make it completely their own. The result is portals that feel personal and relevant to each individual member, not a shelf of generic campaigns.\nTreats Nordics AB is the company behind Perks. We're a small, experienced team working with a strong focus on AI-assisted development under clear technical guidelines, where the decisions that matter are made by people who know what they're doing.\nHow We Build\nThe usual way to introduce AI into development is to give everyone a tool and hope for the best. We did the opposite. First, we wrote down what applies to us: a technical contract that describes what counts as finished work, which rules are hard, and what should never pass through. Then we made the contract executable. The hard rules are enforced mechanically as code is written, not in a review long afterwards.\nThe effect is that we can let the machine do a large part of the work without quality being just a hope. The repetitive disappears, and what's left are the trade-offs.\nWe work the same way into the product. We have a built-in assistant that works with real tools and real data in the platform, and that part is growing fast. The work involves context architecture, tool design, quality, and cost in production. It's not about model training.\nAt the same time, none of this is finished. No one yet knows what senior engineering work looks like when the machine writes most of the code. There's no course to take and no established practice to copy. We've come further than most, but we're still in the experiment, and some of what we're trying now will prove to be wrong.\nWorking here therefore means not just working close to AI. It means being part of moving the boundary of what AI-assisted development can do. The methods we use a year from now are ones that someone on this team will have figured out, and we hope several of them are yours.\nWe don't think AI makes judgment less important. We think it makes judgment nearly the only thing that's left, and that sets higher demands on those making the decisions.\nAbout the Role\nThis is the most senior technical role after the founder. About 60 percent of the time you write code in the product. The rest goes toward setting direction, reviewing others' work, and ensuring that decisions made in an office conversation land correctly in the codebase.\nYou build features across the stack, from database to interface. We don't separate work into frontend and backend.\nYou own the AI-driven parts of the product, and you also own the way of working we described above. The guidelines are not carved in stone. They're code, and we expect you to change them when you see something better. We expect you to try things we haven't tried, and to tell us when something we're doing doesn't hold up.\nYou drive the work together with our team in Sri Lanka. That means you write specifications that someone else can build from without sitting next to you, you review their code, and you set standards that hold even when you're not looking. The time difference is three and a half hours, and much of the communication happens in writing.\nWe Believe You\nhave built and driven products in production for several years, and can do the full journey from data model to interface\nhave built product features on top of language models and know what breaks when they meet real users and real costs\nhave your own view on how AI-assisted work should be organized\u2014ideally one that differs from ours\u2014and want to help shape the way of working rather than just work within it\nhave led or mentored other developers, ideally in another country or time zone\ncan write down a decision so someone else can build the right thing without asking you\nare comfortable saying no, even to us, and can explain why\nwork smoothly in both Swedish and English\n\nWhat You Get\nA role where you actually matter. Where your decisions are visible. You get real authority, not a title, and you'll feel the consequences of your decisions within weeks.\nYou avoid technical debt someone else created. You avoid bureaucracy. You work in a modern codebase where AI handles the repetitive and you spend your time on what actually requires judgment.\nIn short: a job that feels meaningful in five years too.\nApplication\nSend your CV and briefly describe a technical problem you've solved that you're proud of\u2014what was hard about it, and what did you learn. Send it to hello@perks.se.\nWe read applications continuously and will be in touch when we find the right match.\nTreats Nordics AB \u00b7 Stockholm \u00b7 perks.se","language":"sv","is_translated":true,"title_original":"\u00c4r du v\u00e5r Lead Engineer?","description_original":"Lead Engineer\nLojalitetsbranschen har st\u00e5tt still l\u00e4nge. Vi f\u00f6r\u00e4ndrar det.\nMedlemsorganisationer och kundklubbar har i decennier f\u00f6rs\u00f6kt skapa engagemang med trubbiga verktyg som inte anpassar sig till den enskilde medlemmen. Samma erbjudande till alla. Ingen personlighet. Inget minne.\nPerks \u00e4r annorlunda. Vi har byggt en lojalitetsplattform fr\u00e5n grunden.

Vi gjorde tv\u00e4rtom. Vi skrev f\u00f6rst ner vad som g\u00e4ller hos oss: ett tekniskt kontrakt som beskriver vad som r\u00e4knas som f\u00e4rdigt arbete, vilka regler som \u00e4r h\u00e5rda och vad som aldrig f\u00e5r passera. Sedan gjorde vi kontraktet k\u00f6rbart. De h\u00e5rda reglerna stoppas mekaniskt n\u00e4r koden skrivs, inte i en granskning l\u00e5ngt efter\u00e5t.\nEffekten \u00e4r att vi kan l\u00e5ta maskinen g\u00f6ra en stor del av arbetet utan att kvaliteten blir en f\u00f6rhoppning. Det repetitiva f\u00f6rsvinner, och kvar blir avv\u00e4gningarna.\nVi arbetar p\u00e5 samma s\u00e4tt in i produkten. Vi har en inbyggd assistent som arbetar mot riktiga verktyg och riktig data i plattformen, och den delen v\u00e4xer snabbt. Arbetet handlar om kontextarkitektur, verktygsdesign, kvalitet och kostnad i produktion. Det handlar inte om modelltr\u00e4ning.\nSamtidigt \u00e4r inget av det h\u00e4r f\u00e4rdigt. Ingen vet \u00e4nnu hur seniort ingenj\u00f6rsarbete ser ut n\u00e4r maskinen skriver st\u00f6rre delen av koden. Det finns ingen kurs att g\u00e5 och ingen etablerad praxis att kopiera. Vi har kommit l\u00e4ngre \u00e4n de flesta, men vi befinner oss fortfarande i experimentet, och en del av det vi provar nu kommer att visa sig vara fel.\nAtt arbeta h\u00e4r inneb\u00e4r d\u00e4rf\u00f6r inte bara att arbeta n\u00e4ra AI. Det inneb\u00e4r att vara med och flytta gr\u00e4nsen f\u00f6r vad AI-assisterad utveckling klarar. De metoder vi anv\u00e4nder om ett \u00e5r \u00e4r s\u00e5dana som n\u00e5gon i det h\u00e4r teamet kommer att ha kommit p\u00e5, och vi hoppas att flera av dem \u00e4r dina.\nVi tror inte att AI g\u00f6r omd\u00f6me mindre viktigt. Vi tror att den g\u00f6r omd\u00f6me till n\u00e4stan det enda som \u00e4r kvar, och det st\u00e4ller h\u00f6gre krav p\u00e5 den som fattar besluten.\nOm rollen\nDet h\u00e4r \u00e4r den mest seniora tekniska rollen efter grundaren.

Resten g\u00e5r \u00e5t till att s\u00e4tta riktning, granska andras arbete och se till att beslut som fattas i ett samtal p\u00e5 kontoret landar r\u00e4tt i kodbasen.\nDu bygger funktioner tv\u00e4rs igenom stacken, fr\u00e5n databas till gr\u00e4nssnitt. Vi delar inte upp arbetet i frontend och backend.\nDu \u00e4ger de AI-drivna delarna av produkten, och du \u00e4ger ocks\u00e5 arbetss\u00e4ttet vi beskrev ovan. Riktlinjerna \u00e4r inte huggna i sten. De \u00e4r kod, och vi r\u00e4knar med att du \u00e4ndrar dem n\u00e4r du ser n\u00e5got b\u00e4ttre.
