What will you work with?

Our ongoing projects and administrations deliver system support for, among other things, contact tracing, digital sharing of genetic sequencing data, benefit management, vaccinations, antibiotic resistance, fee management, supervision, permits, follow-ups, and monitoring.

We are facing a shift where we continue to refine our agile capabilities, increase the level of automation, and develop our working methods. We are now strengthening our IT delivery with an experienced UX/UI Designer.

In your role, you will have an important function in promoting uniform working methods and contributing to continuous improvements, innovation, and digitalization. You will need to distribute your time between several development teams and, if necessary, participate in government assignments.
