Our client is a Swedish product company with a global reach in health tech. They operate the world's leading app in their field with millions of users who rely on their technology daily to improve their health and quality of life.

With a strong product focus, startup mentality, and international success, they offer an environment where you can have technical influence, work with large-scale systems, and make a real difference to people's well-being globally.

We are looking for a Platform Engineer to join their Infrastructure team in Gothenburg. You will be part of a team that develops, builds, and maintains the internal products, services, and platforms that drive the entire company's technical infrastructure.

The role spans backend systems, cloud infrastructure, internal tools, and build/release processes. You will work on both modernizing existing systems and entirely new initiatives – always focusing on enabling product teams to deliver exceptional user experiences.

The work takes place from their beautiful office on the 20th floor of the Kineum skyscraper in Gothenburg, where close collaboration and technical excellence are prioritized.

• Develop and maintain high-quality backend systems in Python built for scalability and performance

• Develop and support internal web-based systems used by teams across the organization

• Design, deploy, and operate cloud architectures from scratch, including monitoring and observability

• Own data transformations such as migrations, restructuring, and integrations

• Improve and develop build and release processes, including CI/CD pipelines

• Contribute to larger technical initiatives such as system migrations, refactoring, and modernization of legacy services

• Collaborate closely with other developers to ensure shared systems remain healthy, secure, and reliable

• Write well-tested, maintainable high-quality code

• At least 3 years of professional software development experience

• Strong experience with Python

• Experience building backend systems that handle high loads, ideally with FastAPI

• Practical experience designing, setting up, and deploying cloud architectures from scratch, including monitoring and alerting, preferably in Google Cloud

• Experience with large-scale refactoring and system modernization

• Good testing skills and experience with automated testing

• Knowledge of data engineering workflows

• Experience supporting and facilitating team development

• Experience with RESTful APIs

You enjoy solving deep technical challenges that have a real impact. You like to both build and improve large-scale systems and want to empower product teams to move quickly through solid, reliable infrastructure.

With us, it is more important that you are curious, driven, and willing to take on new challenges than that you know everything from day one.

• Work with world-class systems used by millions of users daily

• Technical breadth: backend, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, automation

• Supportive and stimulating work environment with competent colleagues

• Real impact – your work improves people's health globally

• Beautiful office space on the 20th floor with a view over Gothenburg

• Balance between focus and joy where collaboration and well-being are highly valued
