Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join us in our mission to pioneer the future of financial services! In this role, you will have your home base in the Platform Engineering team. We are seeking a tech-savvy, forward-thinking, cloud-passionate team player, who is not afraid of exploring the unknown and wants to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. But most importantly - we are looking for someone who wants to be in it to win it as a team! 

About us

We are building the systems, practices, policies and processes to create and support the financial institution of the future. We focus on best practices for Continuous delivery in a Cloud Native environment on top of Google Cloud Platform and Open Source technologies.

In the Platform Engineering team we understand that achieving our mission involves building a rich and sometimes essentially complex ecosystem.

Our mission then is to provide a compelling Developer Experience where our product teams are empowered to deliver with speed and confidence while keeping their cognitive load as low as possible so that they can focus on SEB Embedded Core Business.

We value building reliable systems while fostering a blameless and innovative culture.

We are an internal product team but that does not afford us to have less "product thinking". We work closely with our internal developer community and other stakeholders to build the experience they need when they need it while being as Data Informed as possible.

What you will do

In the Platform Engineering Organization we have different workstreams focused on different product offerings covering the entire path to production.

As of today, activities that you would perform could include:

• Provide guidance and mentorship to engineers, helping them make informed technical decisions.

• Drive and facilitate technical discussions.

• Lead by example in writing high-quality, maintainable code and setting coding standards.

• Work closely with other engineering teams, security and product to ensure that the infrastructure supports the overall development and business goals.

• Defining, improving and maintaining a Cloud Based environment running microservices. (eg. Kubernetes, GCP)

• Building and Operating features in our Internal Developer Portal (eg. Backstage, Java, Spring Boot, Typescript, React)

• Establish best practices for platform observability i.e. monitoring, alerting using tools like Prometheus, Alertmanager, Opsgenie etc..

• Implement best practices for version control, continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automation within GitLab with the goal to streamline the development lifecycle, reducing build times and increasing deployment frequency.

• Leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Tools: Utilize Terraform to provision and manage infrastructure efficiently. Employ Helm for Kubernetes package management, ensuring streamlined and repeatable deployments. Use Crossplane to manage cloud infrastructure directly through Kubernetes, integrating cloud services with Kubernetes-native management.

• Implement and deploy Compliance as Code, ensuring regulatory controls are automated (eg. Open Policy Agent, Rego)

• Respond to alerts and incidents, providing support and conducting blameless postmortems.

We don't expect you to know everything but we do expect you to have curiosity, willingness to learn and stretch your comfort zone.
