Do you want to work on optimizing and delivering Kubernetes/OpenShift solutions to the Swedish Tax Agency and other government authorities? We are now looking for you who want to help build a secure, stable, and scalable infrastructure for both the Swedish Tax Agency and other authorities. Join us and make society possible!

About the job

The IT department of the Swedish Tax Agency is one of the largest in Sweden, with a large and complex IT environment. We are responsible for the operation, management, and development of the Swedish Tax Agency's and our customers' IT systems. The Swedish Tax Agency has been given an expanded mandate, meaning we are to provide IT operation services to more authorities and deliver an AI workshop for the public sector. We are therefore expanding our team responsible for the OpenShift platform. Together with knowledgeable and innovative colleagues, you will contribute to the Swedish Tax Agency's mission to create societal benefit.

You will be part of a team that works according to GitOps as a methodology for developing and managing code. You will also work on building automations for self-service, monitoring, and configuration in a multi-cluster environment. In your work, you will use tools such as Helm charts, GitHub, Argo CD, and Vault. The team uses innovation sprints where you together evaluate new products, tools, and working methods.

Your tasks include cluster management for the Swedish Tax Agency and other users of the OpenShift platform, as well as actively working with security-enhancing measures. The tasks also include participation in the design and architecture of the OpenShift platform for the Swedish Tax Agency and other authorities.

Here, you get the opportunity for continuous development and learning in your work. We actively work with competence and technology development. You have knowledgeable colleagues with whom you exchange experiences, and you can develop both breadth and specialization with us. Because we are a large IT organization, we can offer good opportunities for internal mobility. It is important to us that you have a balance between work and leisure, and we offer, among other things, flexible working hours and the possibility to work partially from home. You receive one wellness hour per week and a wellness allowance.

You belong to the Operating Systems Section within the Swedish Tax Agency's Technical Service Unit (STT) in the IT department, located in Sundbyberg.
