What does CSN do?

We have one of the world's most generous study support systems. Thanks to this opportunity, everyone in Sweden can study, regardless of background. With us, you can contribute your skills and knowledge to societal benefit and our important mission to make studies possible.

What do we offer?

As an employee at CSN, you should be able to combine work with leisure and have a good balance in life. We offer you flexible working hours, the possibility of remote work, and generous benefits.

CSN is in constant development, and so are all of us who work here. To achieve the best results, we act and lead with trust as our approach. We are located from Kiruna in the north to Lund in the south, with our headquarters in Sundsvall. Do you also want to be one of us and contribute to the CSN team?

Do you dream of a meaningful role?

At the IT department, a lot of exciting development work is underway, with several major reforms combining the renewal of technology, processes, and skills.

In our system development, we use, to name a few - distributed microservice architecture, container platform, Java, JavaScript frameworks, MQ, and SpringBoot.

We work with both custom-developed and standard systems, and right now we are building a completely new system support for the Transition Study Support.

Based on the needs of the organization, you plan and manage your own daily work. You work in teams where we have high trust in each other's abilities, learn from each other, and solve challenges together. Competence development is important to us, and here you will meet some IT colleagues who will share their development journey!

We are looking for someone who is genuinely interested in technology and wants to lead and coordinate the development of the authority's technical platforms to ensure they support the organization's needs, digital transformation, and long-term sustainability.

Our group consists of Technical Specialists, System Technicians, DBAs, and Infrastructure Architects, where we work closely together to ensure quality in our infrastructure. You will be employed as a business developer in IT with the role of Platform Program Manager.

Job Responsibilities

We are in the process of moving our systems from a traditional IT environment to a container environment, which is why we need to grow to take care of our platforms effectively while looking ahead to the next generation of container environments. We mix daily management and operations with participation in development projects where we support with expert knowledge and technology.

We are looking for a driven Platform Program Manager who wants to help develop CSN's infrastructural platforms and future solutions. You will work closely with infrastructure technicians, system developers, and system architects to ensure that the right solution is implemented based on CSN's cloud architecture. You will also be responsible for capacity planning in our platform environments and ensure contact with our suppliers at a tactical and strategic level. Security is an important component, where you will be a key player in meeting the requirements set.

Furthermore, you have excellent knowledge of Swedish in speech and writing, as well as good knowledge of English in speech and writing. You also have good knowledge of the Microsoft Office package (Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint).

It is an advantage if you have:

• current experience in implementing solutions in Red Hat Openshift Container Platform,

You take initiative, drive work forward, and achieve set goals with commitment and responsibility. As a person, you are service-oriented, calm, and accommodating in your approach, with a strong desire to find solutions and provide good support to colleagues and the organization.
