Software Developer at the Migration Agency

At the Migration Agency, we work with one of the major societal issues of our time – migration. We are around 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

Do you want to contribute to a good environment for our developers by working in an enabling platform team that provides development teams with development platforms for cloud-native applications? Then we want you to read this ad to the end.

The DevEx (Developer Experience) team is responsible for making life as a software developer at the Migration Agency as frictionless as possible. We deliver parts of what can be called "IT for IT". Our team develops and maintains platforms for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), visualization tools, methods for better test automation, and the local development environment that our developers use.

We work with agile methods and with a strong focus on automation.

With us, you can work both remotely and on-site; we apply a hybrid model for remote work. As our colleague at the Migration Agency, you can expect a rewarding job in a changing environment characterized by a focus on continuous improvements, collaboration, and respect for individuals. With us, you make a difference and contribute to societal benefit while enjoying a secure and stable employment.

Who are you?

You have a background where you have worked as a software developer for an extended period and have developed an interest in technology and development platforms. You want to help make the daily life of other developers easier and have an interest in automation.

As a person, you value collaboration with others over isolated work and can easily see the challenges others face in their work. You take responsibility for your tasks and can easily structure your own work. You have a high level of professional knowledge in the field and maintain your expertise through continuous monitoring of the environment and a curious approach. You can easily lift your gaze to see the big picture and meet others' needs, solving complex problems in an exploratory way.

Since we work in teams, no one person needs to be an expert in all our areas of responsibility. You contribute your expertise and are adaptable and interested in learning from others in their expertise. No single person can know everything, but together we can achieve everything we need.
