Vacant job

Do you want to work with technical solutions used throughout the public sector? Digg is responsible for the public sector's access to infrastructure and services for electronic identification and signatures.

Sweden Connect is Sweden's national infrastructure for e-identification, enabling e-services and e-IDs to work together seamlessly.

The infrastructure is now facing a technological shift to the next generation of federation models based on OpenID Connect and OpenID Federation.

We are looking for you who want to work close to the technical core of this development. You will contribute to how federation, trust, and standards are implemented in practice in an environment with many dependencies and actors.

You will also step into an exciting phase. On January 1, 2027, Digg and PTS will merge to become the Swedish Agency for Digital Government (Digitaliseringsmyndigheten), where we will continue to work together for a secure digital Sweden for everyone.
