Trainee in Infrastructure Automation

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

The Swedish Tax Agency's IT trainee program is in its fifth year, and we are now planning for the next start where we want to hire up to 20 trainees in 3 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 organization. You will have an experienced mentor as support and sounding board. The trainee program lasts for 12 months, and your daily routine consists of practical work, training, 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.

One of the trainees will focus on automation. This trainee will primarily develop our automations that enable orderers to quickly, easily, and with quality order products and services from our ordering portal, as well as assist other teams on their automation journey. We work in Ansible Automation Platform against VMware Cloud Foundation and Red Hat OpenShift (OCP). For version control, we use Git and GitHub. Our mission is to drive automation for the entire Swedish Tax Agency, which requires outward-facing work in collaboration with other teams and sections.

As a trainee and system developer, you will use your problem-solving skills to create systems that make everyday life easier 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.

The Swedish Tax Agency's IT department actively works to promote an inclusive workplace characterized by equality and diversity, where all employees have equal opportunities to contribute and develop.
