The changing global situation means that our defense needs to be strengthened and the increased intelligence activities against Sweden and the Armed Forces are extensive. The Military Intelligence and Security Service (Must) conducts defense intelligence operations and military intelligence and security services to support Swedish foreign, defense, and security policy, as well as for mapping external threats against Sweden.

Our Offer

We offer an important and stimulating job where you contribute to Sweden's security on a daily basis. We also provide good opportunities for professional development. With us, there are wellness opportunities that include training three hours a week during working hours and the possibility to maintain a balance between leisure and work.

Main Responsibilities

As a system developer with us, you will be part of a larger group that continuously divides into smaller teams to develop and maintain everything from smaller programs to larger systems to support and improve our operations.

You are also attracted by the challenge of being part of a highly competent group and dare to challenge with new solution ideas and participate in unpretentious discussions aimed at jointly finding the best solution for the intended goal.

As our colleague, you are expected to work actively as an important part of the team, without being indispensable. This is created by documenting your work, your code, but even better, working with pair programming where appropriate. In this way, we ensure redundancy and security that the operations can continue and deliver results, even during e.g., vacation periods.
