Vacant job

Are you at the beginning of your career as a software developer and ready to take the next step? At SMHI, you will work in development teams with significant responsibility and the opportunity to grow technically in socially critical assignments. We are looking for several software developers, both full-stack and backend- or frontend-focused!

About SMHI and IT Development

SMHI's operations involve collecting weather, water, and climate-related data, which we analyze and visualize to create a basis for decision-makers and citizens. Our vision is a resilient and safer society – through reliable knowledge about weather, water, and climate.

The IT Development unit consists of approximately 55 employees working in development teams. These teams are responsible for the entire chain – from idea to operation. We build business-critical systems that are used around the clock and handle large amounts of data that are important for both society and SMHI's operations.

To meet new assignments and increased responsibility, we are now strengthening our operations with several new software developers.

About SMHI's team and the role

In your daily work, you will be part of one of our development teams. The teams develop and maintain business-specific systems and services, such as our mobile app SMHI Weather, which has more than 2 million users, software platforms used by our meteorologists to issue forecasts for safe air traffic, and various types of business products for, for example, winter road maintenance, customized weather alerts, hydrological forecasts, and much more.

The development teams have great freedom and responsibility to choose the technology and working methods that best suit their assignments. Each team includes several different roles that work closely together throughout the entire development process – from requirements gathering to deployment.

At SMHI, we strive for close collaboration between all competencies to work quickly and efficiently. The work process is continuously reviewed to ensure constant improvement, and the responsibility for quality, deployment, and maintenance lies fully with the teams even after the systems and products have been put into operation.

Depending on your skills and interests, you will be placed in the team that best suits you.
