Solution Developer and Tech Lead, Google Cloud – Cloud Foundations | SEB, Solna
Join Cloud Foundations and help build the cloud platform the rest of the bank develops on. We deliver landing zones, guardrails and platform capabilities in Google Cloud so SEB's developers can move fast without compromising on security or compliance.
This is a senior developer role with tech lead responsibility for our GCP platform. Our Solution Architect owns the target architecture. You own how it gets built: you lead the development work that turns architecture into a platform in production, and you are the link between the two. When a design meets reality, you are the one who spots what does not hold and takes it back to the architect.
You still write code every week. You have no line management responsibility, but you are the technical lead for GCP development in the team, and one of a pair with the architect for the platform.
What you will be doing
Develop and maintain our landing zones and underlying platform capabilities in Google Cloud together with the team.
Lead the realisation of the target architecture: break it down into buildable work, set the technical direction for how it is implemented and see it through to production.
Work side by side with our Solution Architect for GCP: pressure-test designs against implementation reality and from a security perspective, feed back what you learn from building, and support the architecture work with hands-on input.
Set the bar for code quality, CI/CD and automated testing, and make it easy for the team to do the right thing.
Take the lead when the situation is unclear: break the problem down, propose a solution and make the call on how it gets built.
Be the go-to person for GCP implementation in our department, including work that stretches across several teams.
Drive lifecycle management of the platform and stay ahead of technical debt before it gets expensive.
Advise architects and development teams across the bank on how to build well on the platform.
Coach colleagues through code review, pair programming and mentoring, and take part in hiring new team members.
Who you are
You are a driven, proactive and collaborative engineer who takes ownership and enjoys solving complex problems. You share what you know, you are not satisfied with the first solution that happens to work, and you can move between an architecture discussion and a pull request in the same afternoon. Openness and transparency are your baseline in a team.
