Graduate Trainee in Software Development

As a trainee with us, you will help build IT infrastructure that is part of the foundation for a functioning society.

We are looking for recent graduates who want to develop together with us. We create opportunities and conditions – the rest is up to you. Join us in making society possible!

About the Job

As a trainee in software development, you will be part of one of our agile development teams from day one. In close collaboration with the business, the teams deliver complete solutions that simplify life for millions of individuals and companies. Our systems contribute to a well-functioning society by creating conditions for, among other things, taxation, population registration, democratic elections, crime prevention, and international cooperation.

The Swedish Tax Agency's IT trainee program is now in its fifth year, and we are planning for the next start where we want to hire up to 20 trainees in three different locations. During the program, you will gain knowledge about the Swedish Tax Agency's operations and build on your experience. You will have an individual development plan that is followed up and revised during the program period so that you can create the best setup based on your conditions and the needs of the business. You will have an experienced mentor as support and sounding board. The trainee program lasts for 12 months, and your daily work consists of practical training, education, theme days, and workshops, alongside working in the team. The program's structure is carefully designed to give you the best start to your career. Of course, the program begins with a kick-off.

In this role, you will develop and optimize processes in UiPath, Microsoft Copilot, and Power Automate. You will participate in the entire development chain from idea to deployed application and work exploratively with AI. Furthermore, you will also contribute to analyzing and improving existing automations based on the business's needs. The work takes place in a cross-functional team where you will have the opportunity to influence how we use new technology at the government level – always with a focus on quality, ethics, and security.

As a trainee in automation (RPA) and AI, you will be part of our development team in Sundbyberg. You will work closely with experienced colleagues to design, build, and further develop automation solutions that are widely used in our operations. With us, you will use your problem-solving skills to create systems that simplify everyday life for many. In our large IT department with nearly 1500 colleagues, you have the opportunity to develop while contributing to societal benefit. You have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you should have a balance between work and leisure.
