Behind that promise stands modern engineering, and behind our engineers stands Engineering Excellence: a DevOps-oriented enablement team whose product is the capability of every other squad. We are now looking for a DevOps Engineer who wants to build shared platforms, coach fellow engineers, and shape safe, human-approved agentic AI ways of working.\nAbout the role\nThis is not a feature-delivery seat, it is a multiplier role. Instead of shipping one product, you make many squads better at shipping theirs, and your definition of done includes adoption: work is finished when another team can use, own and support it.\nDay to day, you will:\nBuild and evolve our shared engineering backbone: reusable CI/CD pipelines and pipeline libraries, repository practices, platform tooling, integrations and automation on Azure and Azure DevOps. \nEstablish and enable engineering standards, guardrails, and branching and naming conventions that make the right way the easy way. \nStrengthen quality and security: validation and testing enablement, software scanning, secure-engineering practice, reliability, and actionable engineering feedback. \nUntangle material cross-squad blockers in builds, environments, delivery and platform, making dependencies visible and handing over responsibly. \nCoach engineers and squads, support onboarding, and turn hard-won knowledge into documentation people actually use. \nUse engineering metrics, discovery and evidence to guide continuous improvement, without overstating what the data proves. \nYou will also be hands-on in our agentic engineering journey. We are building an AI-assisted operating model for the team that starts deliberately read-only and follows a strict loop: agents observe and propose, humans approve, and only then are changes applied. You will help design these proposal-controlled workflows, the guardrails and least-privilege access behind them, and the evidence that shows what AI adoption genuinely improves.\nYou will work across every squad rather than inside one, side by side with architects, squad technical leads, Product Management and program stakeholders. It is a rare vantage point that grows your platform depth and your influence at the same time. The team runs on Kanban flow rather than sprints: demand is clarified, work is made ready, delivered, validated, documented and handed over, with blockers made visible instead of hidden.\nWe offer\nIn the same way that we place high demands on you as an employee, we also expect you to place high demands on us as an employer. Here are some of the benefits of working at If:\nCareer and development opportunities in the biggest insurance company in the Nordics \nSocial activities, as well as highly skilled professional environment \nAn including work environment where everyone is welcome \nPossibility of hybrid workplace \nHealth promoting workplace with e.g., wellness allowance and various sports activities \nGreat insurance benefits\nAbout the team\nEngineering Excellence is six engineers with one shared conviction: great enablement means the job is not done until someone else can use, own and support the outcome. We prefer evidence over assumptions, we make dependencies and risks visible instead of hiding them, and we keep egos low and trust high, coaching each other the same way we coach the squads.\nHuman accountability sits at the core of how we adopt AI: our agents may observe and propose, but people approve, and decision rights always stay with the roles that own them. If’s whole business is keeping promises when it matters most, and we hold our engineering to the same standard, reliable, secure, and easy to build on. We also live If’s customer-centric, “undifficult” mindset internally: our customers are If’s own squads, and our job is to make their best work feel effortless. You will join an international workplace that is genuinely committed to diversity, and a team where your questions on day one are as welcome as your improvements on day one hundred.\nWho are you?\nYou are an enabler at heart, you get real energy from making other engineers faster, safer and more confident. You communicate clearly and coach as naturally as you commit code. You are curious and evidence-driven: you would rather measure than assume, and you separate facts from interpretation. When dependencies tangle and priorities shift, you stay calm, make the situation visible, and keep the flow moving. You treat documentation and handover as part of the craft rather than an afterthought. And whenever automation or AI touches real systems, you exercise sound judgement about access, privacy, least privilege and human approval.\nYou also have:\nPractical experience in DevOps, platform engineering, developer productivity or engineering enablement \nHands-on skills in CI/CD, Git, repository management, automation and pipeline engineering \nExperience with Azure and/or Azure DevOps \nA track record of improving quality, testing, security scanning, reliability or engineering standards \nComfort working in a flow-based / Kanban way, with dependencies, blockers and explicit handover \nIt’s a plus if you also bring:\nDevelopment experience in .NET, Java, Kotlin or TypeScript, or full-stack curiosity \nExperience with agentic or AI-assisted development, and with measuring its adoption responsibly \nWork with DORA or other engineering metrics, discovery or maturity assessments \nExperience building pipeline libraries, reusable templates or repository governance at scale \nAdditional facts and the recruitment process\nApplication deadline: Screening and interviewing will start immediately. However, application deadline is 14th of October.\nTo apply for the position: Please attach your CV.\nWork location: Bergshamra\nStart: By agreement\nFor more information, please contact Burhan Öcüt, DevOps Architect, \nBackground checks may be conducted as part of the recruitment process in accordance with applicable legislation and internal policies.\nWe look forward to your application!","description_format":"text","description_chars":6256,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Sports activities"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T05:10:52Z"}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-01T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/if-devops-engineer-engineering-excellence","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/if-devops-engineer-engineering-excellence.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T20:54:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3327,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1673,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
