Welcome to Group Technology, where we pride ourselves on engineering solutions and direct Nordea’s transformation by providing a holistic technological view and structured understanding of the bank, and its surrounding environment to enable the Customer Vision and the Business Strategy.

We are looking for a Network DevOps Expert, who will define and evolve the architecture, standards and operating model that enable scalable, secure and governed network automation.

Nordea is a place where traditions meet tomorrow. We're not just a bank, we're a tech employer on a mission to evolve finance securely and responsibly. Together, we impact millions of people’s daily lives by ensuring they can access our solutions anytime, anywhere, while safeguarding their personal data and wealth. Join us in making an impact on the banking industry.

About our team

Meet the Network Governance and Automation team. Our role is to transform traditional network operations into a modern, software-driven and highly automated operating model. By combining Infrastructure as Code, self-service capabilities, platform engineering, operational intelligence and AI-assisted operations, we are building the foundation for secure, resilient and future-ready network services.

What you'll be doing

Main responsibilities in this role:

• Develop reusable network automation capabilities, standards and design patterns aligned with business and operational needs.
• Build Infrastructure as Code solutions for version-controlled configuration, automated testing, validation and repeatable deployment.
• Deliver secure self-service network services through APIs, service catalogues and workflow orchestration.
• Embed security, resilience, traceability, segregation of duties and regulatory controls into automation pipelines.
• Use observability and operational data to improve service health, configuration compliance and automation performance, and enable safe AI-assisted remediation.
• Promote API-first development, Git, code review and CI/CD.

Who you are

This is the right role for you if:

• Stay curious, invest in continuous self-development and think outside the box, keeping up with emerging technologies (like agentic AI) and exploring their practical value for network automation.
• Can balance delivery speed and innovation with security, compliance, resilience, and maintainability.
• Take ownership of practical automation solutions that deliver business value.
• Collaborate across international teams, simplify technical challenges, and communicate decisions clearly.
• Combine hands-on software development and automation practices with network engineering skills.
• Work effectively in an Agile environment, delivering improvements incrementally.
• Familiar with security, access controls, resilience, and compliance embedded in automated network workflows in a large or regulated enterprise.

Your background and skills include:

• Hands-on network automation and Infrastructure as Code experience using Python, Ansible Automation Platform, Git, REST APIs and CI/CD pipelines, including automated testing and configuration validation.
• Experience delivering self-service capabilities through reusable APIs, service catalogues, and workflow orchestration.
• Understanding cloud-native and platform engineering, including containers, microservices, event-driven integration, and API management.
• Experience with telemetry, log analytics, event correlation and service-health monitoring, with reporting through Power BI or equivalent tools.
• Experience developing, managing and tailoring AI agents to specific requirements.
• Experience integrating diverse systems and solutions in an enterprise environment.

What we offer

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions - and that we imagine you share with us.

People are driven by many different factors. For some, it’s to take their career to the next level. For others, it’s to break new ground within their area of expertise - in other words, with us, you will always move forward.

A culture that fosters performance and growth in one of the largest Nordic banks, offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.
