DevOps Engineer at Arbetsförmedlingen

Are you an experienced DevOps engineer who wants to develop in an environment where technology meets social benefit? We are looking for someone who wants to contribute to our initiative to make the agency’s IT infrastructure more efficient by increasing the level of automation. Here, you will have the opportunity to combine advanced technology with rewarding collaboration.
Together, we get Sweden to work. Would you like to be one of us?

The section’s remit
The Application Infrastructure Section is responsible for the platforms for development and operating environments, which are primarily on-premises in our data centres. These platforms are Linux- and Windows-based. In addition to these duties, we have been given overall responsibility for automating the agency’s IT infrastructure.
We tackle complex problems together, enjoy learning from one another’s expertise and value being able to share a sense of humour every day. From time to time, we do activities outside work, for example attending conferences.
Who are we looking for?
The most important thing for us is that you are willing to learn new technologies and enjoy solving problems, both independently and with others. We imagine that, like us, you are inspired by constant new challenges and highly motivated. You take initiative, work independently and are solution-oriented, and your natural curiosity about the field means that you are used to following trends in open source, DevOps and GitOps. You have good collaboration skills and communicate well. To succeed in this role, we believe you are as much a people person as a technical specialist.
What we offer
This is a permanent, full-time position, which may begin with a six-month probationary period. The location is Solna.
We offer you the opportunity to work in a workplace where we value a balance between work and private life. You will have access to a generous annual leave agreement, flexible working hours and the option to work remotely for up to 49 per cent of the year. We also offer wellness activities during working hours and a generous wellness allowance (friskvårdsbidrag).
We offer professional development in the latest technologies in the field, and there are career opportunities within the agency. Through our work, we contribute to an inclusive and sustainable society, where you will have the opportunity to make a real difference to individuals and society as a whole.

Welcome to us, we work to get Sweden to work! Here, you work on behalf of the Government to support a well-functioning labour market. The aim is to shorten periods of unemployment by matching jobseekers with employers. Our initiatives are primarily aimed at those furthest from the labour market and at employers who are open to hiring those most in need of support. We prevent incorrect payments and offences against the welfare systems so that our tax funds are used effectively for their intended purpose. We work with many other organisations and together find solutions that make a difference, for a Sweden at work.
