About
Today we are The BlackBerry Tribe
We´re a growing group of engineers, visual artists and interaction designers who eat, sleep, and breathe User Interfaces (UI). People that love their children, but are dying to get back to work after parental leave since no one next to them on the playground park benches cares about gestures, haptics and stereoscopic 3D.
In December of 2010, TAT was acquired by BlackBerry. We went from spreading our awesomeness to almost all phone manufacturers, operators and others around the world to focus exclusively on the user interfaces and apps for BlackBerry and Playbook. More than a year later we are excited about not only creating the User Interfaces but also owning them from the very first start of creating the vision to shipping the products out on the market and see our work in the hands of consumers. TAT was involved in almost a thousand UI projects with many of the world´s leading organizations, often working behind the scenes and you can still find our art and technology in almost half a billion devices.
We also continue to work in close-knit multi-skilled teams because we have found that this is the best way to quickly build beautiful, easy-to-use UIs based on solid technology. Our foundational idea of Design loves Technology is more valid than ever.
This year, 2013, we are celebrating 10 years. We are growing, looking for more talents as well as we are knocking down walls into new office spaces. TAT has been around ever since the first color screens came to mobile phones. We are continuing to make really cool stuff with great design and clever graphics rendering and we still believe that seeing is believing, stuff running on real phones, and we prototype all our work.
Careers
TAT recently agreed to become a part of BlackBerry, and now we want to welcome more talented co-workers to strengthen our office in Malmö.

Senior C++ Developer / tech lead to shape the future of mobile media
Stockholm/Sweden
In 2011, BlackBerry was excited to welcome JayCut to the tribe in Sweden. JayCut is based in Stockholm and currently looking for a highly creative and talented Senior C++ developer/tech lead.
In 2006 we disrupted desktop video editing by making it browser-based, easy and free. In 2013 we repeated this feat, now on mobile, with the acclaimed Story Maker product on BB10.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Now our Stockholm-based team is continuing the mission to create disruptive applications as a part of BlackBerry. Our current portfolio consists of two different BB10 video creation tools, and looking forward this will be expanded with new applications (that may not concern video/media). For this we're looking for a senior C++ application developer. In addition to being a developer you need to be perfectly comfortable with the tech lead role. You can be expected to take on certain leadership tasks and be a champion for a product, although you will not lead a team per se upon starting.
The team you will join consists of eight people who during childhood coded QBasic and won Lego championships when our friends were watching Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter and Power Rangers. We live and breathe product development, and seek to lead rather than to follow. Can you lead, looking to both code quality, product innovation and execution? Apply and we'll see :)
RESPONSIBILITIES
You'll have full technical ownership of one or more of our applications, and a good deal of product ownership. Day-to-day work will revolve around actually building and supporting an application, primarily in C++ and QML. You'll interface with the developers in our team and in other offices, and have a bigger responsibility for syncing development efforts with them. It is expected that you can both make competent technical decisions and question existing ones.
SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
Technical excellence and extensive responsibility are the two key ingredients here. You likely have 10+ years experience of developing applications in C++ or similar. You've gotten (or even better, taken) a larger responsibility over a product, and been looking to the whole rather than just your component. You may have led a small team, or would feel comfortable exploring doing so.
But above all you want to create excellent products and have developed the skills to do so. Because there is no substitute for passion!
ADDITIONAL ASSETS
It's meriting to see experience in mobile development, Qt and media.
ARE YOU THE PERSON WE ARE LOOKING FOR?
Sounds interesting? Please send your CV and personal letter to jobsinsweden@blackberry.com and tell us why! For questions regarding the position, please contact Linda Petersson.
We look forward to your application!
We are JayCut. We build the next generation of video creation tools.

C++ Application Developer
Stockholm/Sweden
In 2011, BlackBerry was excited to welcome JayCut to the tribe in Sweden. JayCut is based in Stockholm and currently looking for a highly creative and talented Application Developer.
Ask yourself what would happen if anyone could edit video, anywhere, with any mobile device, using any media on the web and finally publish the result to any device or website. This is what we spend our days thinking about, as a part of BlackBerry.
Who are we looking for?
The next generation of media creation continues to be a priority for BlackBerry. Therefore we are looking for people who want to shape this future with us from the JayCut/TAT offices in Stockholm.
Skills & Qualifications
In practice we're now looking for a single, strong, application developer. Mad skills, highly creative and a slightly wicked mindset will make you fit perfectly into the team. A strong background in more low-level languages, preferably C and/or C++, is highly premiered. Finally you understand that a great product becomes great through a passion for details, and you have the passion to get these details right.
About JayCut
In early 2006 the to-be founders of JayCut started asking themselves if web video couldn't be about more than just consumption. We wanted to add creativity into to the equation. Nine months later, in December 2006, we had laid the foundation for what would come to be the world's most advanced technology for online video editing. The company was founded early 2007.
JayCut was acquired by BlackBerry in 2011 and is still based in Stockholm, Sweden. Prior to the acquisition JayCut.com had millions of minutes of edited video rendered per month. Companies that licensed the technology include some of the world's leading brands. JayCut and its technology also received some of the most prestigious awards in the industry. But our firm belief is that we've still just scratched the surface of what web video can be.
During the five years we created what became widely recognized as the world's best tool and technology for online video editing we learned a few things. One such thing is that software development is closer to an art form than a task. It may sound corny but we therefore continue to seek developers that are more like artists, to join our small group of eight likeminded.
