You'll work across a lambda architecture that combines a low-latency streaming layer built in Go with a batch layer on Google Cloud, running on infrastructure spread across AWS, Azure, and GCP in regions around the world.\nThis is a hands-on senior role with real technical leadership. Beyond building and maintaining the platform, you'll set the bar for engineering quality on the team, shape how we design services so they stay modular and scalable as we grow, and act as tech lead and mentor for junior engineers.\nBuild and evolve the data platform\nDevelop and maintain our real-time layer, including the Go-based gateway and processing engine that serve customer-facing workloads with high availability and low latency.\nOwn and improve the batch layer on GCP, working with BigQuery, Airflow, and dbt to deliver reliable, well-modelled, and cost-efficient pipelines.\nKeep the speed and batch layers consistent with each other, making sure data is correct, reconcilable, and trustworthy regardless of which path it takes.\nDesign and ship customer-facing backend services\nDesign, build, and operate backend APIs that customers use directly, with strong attention to contracts, versioning, performance, and backwards compatibility.\nThink through failure modes, observability, and scaling up front, so services behave predictably in production.\nOwn multi-cloud infrastructure\nManage and evolve our infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP in multiple global regions using Terraform.\nImprove how we structure infrastructure code through reusable modules, sensible environment separation, and safe, repeatable deployments.\nDrive improvements in monitoring, alerting, security, and cost visibility across clouds. Participate in a shared on-call rotation for production systems.\nRaise the bar on engineering excellence\nDefine and champion engineering standards around code quality, testing, code review, CI/CD, and documentation.\nLead technical design discussions and write clear design documents for significant changes, bringing the team along in the reasoning.\nIdentify technical debt and architectural weak points and build a pragmatic plan to address them alongside feature work.\nLead and mentor\nServe as tech lead for the team, guiding technical direction and helping prioritize work (this role has no direct reports).\nMentor two junior engineers through pairing, thoughtful code reviews, and gradually increasing ownership, helping them grow into confident, independent engineers.\nREQUIREMENTS\nSignificant professional experience as a software or data engineer (typically 6+ years), including time spent owning production systems end to end.\n\nStrong software engineering fundamentals: clean and modular design, testing strategies, API design, and an understanding of distributed systems trade-offs.\n\nExperience building and operating backend services in a compiled or typed language such as Go, Java, Kotlin, Rust, or similar.\n\nHands-on experience with a modern data stack, ideally BigQuery, Airflow, and dbt or close equivalents.\n\nSolid experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform, and working knowledge of at least one major cloud provider in depth.\n\nFamiliarity with both real-time/streaming and batch data processing patterns, and the challenges of combining them.\n\nA track record of mentoring others and raising the quality of the teams you've been part of.\n\nClear written and verbal communication, especially the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to engineers of varying experience.\n\nNice to have\nProfessional experience with Go. This is a strong plus, though we'll happily support an experienced backend engineer in going deep on it.\nExperience running infrastructure across multiple clouds and regions, including networking, identity, and data residency considerations.\nBackground with lambda or kappa architectures, event streaming systems (such as Kafka or Pub/Sub), or high-throughput API gateways.\nExperience with observability tooling (metrics, tracing, logging) and cloud cost optimization.\nOur corporate language is English, please submit your application in English.\nThis is a hybrid role based in Stockholm, Sweden, and reporting to the Senior Engineering Manager.\nCandidates must have the right to work in Sweden. Relocation and work permit sponsorship are not available for this role.\nOUR HIRING PROCESS\nWe are committed to ensuring a recruitment process that is fair, objective, consistent, and inclusive. Our approach includes structured, competency-based interviews designed to evaluate your skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to the role. At times, we may include a data-driven assessment to enhance our hiring success and identify candidates likely to excel.\nWe believe in a two-way process and encourage you to ask questions throughout the journey.

No matter who you are, we hope you find an exciting path forward - hopefully with us!\nSalary:\nThe monthly salary for this position is between 60 000 - 72 000 SEK.
