Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation services, remand prisons, and client transports.

Do you want to contribute to a safer society? Our IT department is undertaking a major initiative focused on a digital correctional system. Together, we work to create conditions and solutions that make a difference in our operations. The IT department is experiencing strong growth. With us, you will have excellent opportunities to grow and develop your skills based on your conditions and areas of interest.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Do you want to make a difference in society while developing your career? With us, you will have great opportunities to influence our work and your own, all to deliver safe and quality solutions to our core operations. We work in teams and are responsible for providing the organization with digital solutions that simplify and streamline their daily work. We try to use new technologies where possible, but we also work a lot with the management of our existing solutions.

We are looking for a system architect/software architect with specialized expertise in .NET and the digitalization of the justice system. In this key role, you will be responsible for the authority's role in the digitalization of the justice system (RD/Rif) and the development of our integrations. You will be part of our team responsible for the integration platform and have operational responsibility for designing, developing, testing, and deploying our integrations, which are entirely based on system-to-system exchanges. The role combines strategic responsibility for the digital development of the justice system with practical work in the integration platform.

You will be a driving force in our authority's work with the digitalization of the justice system, both internally and in collaboration with other actors. You contribute to shaping and implementing strategies, standards, and frameworks for digital information exchange within the justice system and represent our authority in national and cross-sector collaborations on digitalization. Furthermore, you will design and document the architecture for integrations, focusing on security, performance, scalability, and reliability, and implement integrations using .NET and our existing tools. You will ensure that integrations comply with relevant standards, protocols, and regulations (e.g., REST, SOAP, JSON, XML, RIV-TA).

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is self-driven and takes significant responsibility for their tasks. You structure your work approach and drive your processes forward.

You see the opportunities that change can bring and take the initiative to drive the work forward. Furthermore, you have a high ability to collaborate and work well with others. In your communication, you are both attentive and clear, and you find it easy to relate to others.

It is important to us that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of people, respect for the individual, and belief in the human will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally with your approach. We place great importance on personal suitability.
