Vacant job

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the great societal challenges of our time – migration. We are a total of about 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

Do you want to work with architecture that actually matters – for real?

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we don't just build IT solutions. We build the digital infrastructure that enables one of Sweden's most important societal missions. We are now looking for several technical architects who want to take a leading role in our technical transformation.

This is a role for you who wants to influence – not just maintain.

Four directions – where do you want to make the biggest impact?

We are looking for architects within four clear areas. You step in with a main focus, but work together with other architects towards a common goal:

• Data Centers – design of a stable and scalable foundation for the entire operation
• Networking – design of robust, secure, and scalable network infrastructure
• Windows & IT Workplaces – the digital workplace and client platform of the future
• Linux & Kubernetes – container platforms and modern operating environments

Your role – from direction to reality

As a technical architect, you help set the direction for our technical platform – and ensure that it is actually realized.

You will:

• design sustainable, secure, and scalable architectures
• translate business needs into technical choices
• guide teams in complex technical decisions
• ensure that architecture principles are followed in practice
• act as a bridge between technology, business, and management

You work closely with technical development teams with overall responsibility and are an active part of our architecture function together with chief architects, solution architects, business architects, and software architects.

Why this role is interesting

This is not a role where you stand on the sidelines.

You:

• get real influence over a large and societally critical IT environment
• work in complex technical landscapes where architecture makes a real difference
• help build platforms used every day – by both the business and people
