Can you tell us a bit about your career journey before joining Future Ordering?
I studied electrical engineering and later focused on machine learning for my master’s degree, but I ended up in software engineering quite naturally. Over time, I’ve worked in a few different roles from software and algorithm development to machine vision. I’m happy to work in a field that gives me the opportunity to explore different roles and industries, and to therefore learn new things continuously.
What made you choose Future Ordering over other opportunities?
What stood out to me was the combination of the product and the people. I liked that it’s a product with real impact, something people use in everyday life and even more so, something that has revolutionized ordering in restaurants -- that made it feel meaningful to work on. At the same time, the interview process gave me a very genuine impression of the team and I felt immediately welcome.
How would you describe your current role and what you enjoy most about it?
I work as a developer, and my role is a mix of building features, solving problems, and collaborating closely with my team. What I enjoy most is the balance in the variation — I get to think deeply about technical problems and am trusted with every step of the process, while also working closely with others and learning from their great ideas.
What’s been your most memorable or rewarding moment so far?
One moment that really stands out was being on call during a weekend incident, where the whole team immediately jumped in to help solve it.
We resolved it quickly, but what stayed with me was the feeling of how committed everyone is — it honestly gave me goosebumps seeing how we come together as one team when it really matters.
Why did you choose to work in your field?
I chose engineering because I was curious about how things work and enjoyed the challenge of figuring things out. Over time, software engineering stuck with me because it’s such a dynamic field — there’s always something new to learn, and I like that no two weeks look the same.
What’s the best part about working at Future Ordering?
The people are the biggest highlight for me. It’s a very supportive and collaborative team, and it genuinely feels like you’re working towards something together. I also really like that the product is something people actually use, and a product I had enjoyed using many times before I even thought about where it comes from. I was really impressed that I could self-order at a kiosk when I first came to Sweden! It’s really cool to get to look back on that and see how Future Ordering has revolutionized the industry.
How would you describe the company culture and team dynamics?
I’d describe it as open, supportive, and very solution-oriented.
People are approachable and willing to help, and there’s a good balance between working independently and collaborating as a team.
Why should someone consider applying to Future Ordering?
If you enjoy taking ownership, working on real product challenges, and being part of a team where you can both contribute and learn, it’s a great place to be. There’s a good balance between responsibility, support, and work-life balance.
What surprised you most about working here?
I was surprised by how quickly you get involved in meaningful work. I had my first pull request merged during my second week already! You’re trusted to contribute early on, which makes it easy to feel engaged from the start.
How does Future Ordering support your growth and development?
A lot of the growth comes naturally through the work itself and solving new tasks. I’m trusted with responsibility and continuously challenged with new problems, which keeps me developing. What makes a difference is that there’s always support from the team, so you can take on challenges without feeling stuck.
What does a typical day look like for you?
I usually start my day early, which gives me some quiet focus time before things pick up. At 9:30, we have a team sync to align on our work, and during the day people are always just a message or call away -- it’s very easy to ask for help or jump in to support someone else. I also like being able to take walks during lunch, especially when working from home, since it helps me reset and come back with fresh focus.
How do you maintain a healthy work-life balance here?
It feels quite natural here. The way we work, with clear tasks, good communication, and a lot of trust, makes it easy to stay focused during the day and then actually disconnect. There’s also flexibility in how and where you work, which I really appreciate, and small things like being able to take walks during the day or use the exercise benefit help a lot.
What advice would you give to someone joining the company?
Take your time to understand how things work and ask a lot of questions.
People are very helpful, so the more curious and engaged you are, the easier it is to get into things and start contributing.
