As a backend engineer at Avanza, you’ll work alongside people who care as much about modern technology as making a difference in society.\nWhy Avanza?\nAvanza is now looking for a dedicated Software Engineer who wants to help shape the next generation of digital services for savings, investments, and banking. We believe that a passion for technology goes hand in hand with a commitment to society, in teams where community, collaboration, and inclusion are an integral part of everyday life. We believe in a working environment where it is possible to be both ambitious and human, where balance and purpose are just as important as innovation.\nAvanza is currently transitioning to English as our primary language. We welcome English-speaking candidates who are comfortable working in an environment where Swedish is still used in day-to-day communication, meetings, and documentation. We expect this to evolve as we continue our transformation.\nAbout the role\nAs a Software Engineer at Avanza, you will be a key contributor in an exciting technology journey. We have embarked on a major cloud transformation to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Our goal is clear: by 2030, we aim to be predominantly cloud-based, and during 2026 we are significantly accelerating the pace.\nYou will be part of one of our 45 autonomous teams, working closely with your Product Manager and designers. Our teams work with Order Management Systems, streaming data, high transaction volumes, data-driven development, and Machine Learning. Depending on which team you join, your day-to-day work could range from further developing our high-performance on-premises environment to building new solutions in the cloud. You will have the opportunity to help define the standards for how we model data and build scalable services in a modern cloud environment. For teams managing core infrastructure or critical systems, rotating on-call duty is a natural part of taking full operational ownership.\nYour technical environment\nWe are moving from an architecture built around Gigaspaces and internal platforms towards a modern, cloud-based technology stack. You will work with:\nJava as the primary language for our microservices.\n\nGCP as our future home, where we build for high availability and scalability.\n\nModern cloud data modeling, using Google Spanner for application data and BigQuery for data warehousing.\n\nCommunication via gRPC and event-driven flows using Kafka.\n\nAI-assisted development, leveraging modern tools to explore and set standards for future engineering workflows.\n\nWho are you?\nWe are looking for someone who loves solving problems and wants to build systems that make a difference for more than two million customers. As an engineer, you enjoy sharing your knowledge and are motivated by the challenge of migrating complex systems to the cloud.\nAs a person, we see you as a curious and communicative team player who thrives on solving complex problems together with others. You take great responsibility for technical quality and take pride in writing well-structured, testable, and scalable code. At the same time, you naturally take a holistic view and want to contribute not only to the team's ways of working but also to the development of the product.\nAt Avanza, you'll be part of a culture characterized by humility and openness, where asking questions and sharing knowledge is encouraged, and where we see every challenge or failure as an opportunity to learn and grow together.\nWe believe that you\nHave at least 4 years of relevant professional experience\n\nHave solid experience building and maintaining distributed systems and APIs in Java\n\nHave experience developing and deploying services in a cloud environment (Cloud Native)\n\nAre curious about AI-assisted development and eager to explore how modern AI tools can enhance our daily work\n\nIt is a plus if you have\nExperience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)\n\nExperience with cloud-based databases such as Google Spanner and/or analytical platforms such as BigQuery, preferably with dbt for data transformation\n\nExperience with our current technology stack (e.g. Gigaspaces or similar in-memory solutions) to help us bridge the gap between on-premises and the cloud\n\nExperience working with event-driven architecture (Kafka)\n\nA culture of community and sustainability\nWe believe the best results are achieved in psychologically safe teams where everyone has a voice. That's why we place great importance on collaboration, openness, and enjoying our work. At Avanza, you will have the space to grow at your own pace and combine your career with a sustainable life.\nOur guiding principles are Customer First, Smarter Together, and Better. For Real. We put our customers at the heart of what we do, collaborate to achieve more together, and constantly challenge the status quo to find innovative solutions that make a real difference.\nWe operate a hybrid working model and would like you to work from our newly renovated office at Regeringsgatan 103, approximately 2-3 days per week.\nHow to apply\nSubmit your application by clicking the \"Apply\" button below. We review applications on an ongoing basis.\nWe look forward to receiving your application!\nPlease note that we do not accept offers from recruitment agencies or advertising sales representatives.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5361,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"Swedish","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Investing Apps & Robo-Advisors"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:25:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":53,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.709,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":16,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:0","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/avanza-software-engineer-backend","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/avanza-software-engineer-backend.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T02:22:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3421,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1786785},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1786785"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Favanza-software-engineer-backend"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Favanza-software-engineer-backend"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Favanza-software-engineer-backend"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/avanza-software-engineer-backend\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Favanza-software-engineer-backend"}]}
