Vacant job

We are now looking for an Engineer with a focus on Apache Kafka – a key role for those who are technically curious, enjoy Linux/DevOps environments, and want to delve deeply into event-driven platforms.

Here, you will work on-prem in an advanced environment built by some of Sweden's sharpest technicians. You will have the opportunity to learn, influence, build, and operate – whether you are more junior or already experienced with Kafka.

As a Kafka Engineer, you will be a central part of the operations organization within Technology. You will work on developing, managing, and securing a scalable and stable Kafka platform that enables real-time data flows in critical systems.

You will: • Design, implement, and maintain Kafka clusters and integration components • Monitor performance, availability, and security • Manage incidents and problems according to established processes • Collaborate closely with developers, platform teams, and security functions • Document solutions and contribute to knowledge sharing within the team • Participate in change management and further development of the platform

You will work both proactively and reactively – and gain a unique opportunity to see and influence the infrastructure from the ground up.

We are looking for someone with a strong desire to learn, enjoys technical breadth, and has a particular passion for Kafka or event-driven platforms. You do not need to have built Kafka from scratch before – there are experts and consultants here to support you – but you have an interest in how things work at a deep level.

You thrive in a regulated and security-critical environment and see the value in structure, policies, and clear change flows.

We would like you to have: • Good knowledge of Linux • Experience with DevOps/CI/CD • Experience with Ansible or other IaC • Interest in, or experience with, Apache Kafka from an infrastructural perspective • Experience with container platforms like Kubernetes/Docker • Understanding of security, access management, and operations in high-demand environments • Good communication and collaboration skills

Preferred: • Experience with event-driven architecture • Monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK/EFK • Experience with cloud-based Kafka services (e.g., Confluent Cloud, AWS MSK)

Here, you are offered the opportunity to work long-term and technically deep in a strategically important platform. You will become a central part of a highly competent team that values quality, innovation, and collaboration – where your skills truly make a difference.

The position is for a long-term employment with the client.
