You will help lead the technical development work over time, from design and architecture to implementation and management, and actively contribute to ensuring that the solutions are robust, scalable, and secure. The work is done in close collaboration with a cross-functional team consisting of other system developers, specialists, and competent colleagues from various parts of the organization and the IT department, where you collectively make technical decisions and work towards set goals.

About the assignment:

• Focus on building and modernizing solutions for the new government e-identification
• Management and adaptation of existing systems based on new needs, regulations, and legal requirements
• Work in a modern technical platform with:
• Microservice architecture
• Container-based solutions
• Automated deployment flows
• Strong focus on quality, security, and long-term sustainability
• Opportunity to take clear technical leadership and contribute to system architecture as well as act as a technical sounding board in the team

This is an opportunity for you who have:

• Education in system/computer science or equivalent acquired experience that the Swedish Police Authority assesses as equivalent
• Several years of work experience in Java on Linux platform
• Several years of experience with Spring Boot and related frameworks
• Several years of experience with microservice architecture and container-based environment (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)

It is meritorious if you also have:

• Experience working in roles with technical leadership (e.g., Tech lead/Lead developer)

The role involves many points of contact, which requires good collaborative and communicative skills. You adapt your communication according to the audience and context, both orally and in writing. The work also requires that you can work independently, take your own initiatives, and have a solution-oriented approach. We also see that you do not hesitate to step forward and take a leading role when the situation requires it, for example by driving issues, making technical decisions, and supporting others in their work.

We highly value your personal qualities and will place great importance on these to find the right person for the role.
