Sweden's largest newspaper with radio and digital-first publishing
Aftonbladet is Sweden's largest newspaper by reach across print and digital channels, operating under the Schibsted group umbrella. The tech stack—Node.js, React, Svelte, TypeScript, AWS, Docker—reflects a JavaScript-forward engineering approach built for speed. Heavy hiring in media roles (9 of 13 active positions) alongside a new radio channel launch and live production initiatives signals a shift toward broadcast and real-time content delivery beyond traditional newsprint.
