Cloud Engineer

Join us at Kivra! At Kivra, we are building services that connect over 6 million people with more than 50 000 senders in both the private and public sector. We provide a safe and accessible digital infrastructure that everyone in Sweden can trust and use.

We are now looking for a skilled Cloud Engineer with an enthusiastic mindset to join our Cloud team. This team is a core part of our Platform Engineering domain, which is the heart of Kivra. The domain itself comprises four teams, each with a different focus area, all dedicated to building and supporting the large, scalable platform for all our services. This platform provides distributed systems that handle all our data with great reliability and security.

What you'll do

You'll play a key role in Kivras Cloud team, where you will work alongside great colleagues and be a driving force for developing, maintaining and improving the GCP infrastructure, as well as have an advisory role towards the rest of the organization in explaining the architecture and system solutions. You will develop, take ownership and drive implementation of new tools in order to make our cloud infrastructure more efficient as well as maintain and improve our current environment. And always with a focus on the security and stability of our services!

Our technology buzzword bingo; :

• Hybrid cloud based on Google Cloud Platform and on-prem Kubernetes platform

• Containers for all (well, almost all) workloads

• Automation and provisioning using ArgoCD, Terraform and Crossplane

• Google LB, KrakenD

• Prometheus, Sentry, Pagerduty, Grafana Cloud, Cloud logs,Loki

• Erlang and Golang backend services

• PostgreSQL and Redis databases

• Kafka and Cloud Pub/Sub

Required skills

Who you are and how you fit the team is super important. We thrive on being nice and helpful to each other and to the rest of the company!

But to have fun at Kivra you also need to have strong skills in Google Cloud Platform, Platform Engineering, Linux, Enterprise level IT system management and automation (e.g. Crossplane/Terraform) paired with an equally strong sense of service. You have worked with Cloud Engineering, CI/CD and Devops for some years now and are therefore well versed in working in various types of cloud environments. You like taking technical ownership over the things you build and, to quote ourselves, “always with a focus on the security and stability of our services''.

Desired skills

Previous experience working with Kubernetes and Terraform is a must. Moreover, a solid understanding of containers and container orchestration would make you an even stronger candidate.

The role also gives you the opportunity to specialize even more in the cloud environment and be our internal spokesperson for its best practices. We are looking for someone with a strong skill set and past experience within our tech stack. We have a very warm and friendly culture and we expect you to take part in that naturally. We thrive on collaboration and teamwork, we expect personal initiatives and love strong opinions based on facts.

We offer

Kivra offers a place in a committed team with the opportunity for a high degree of innovation. You will be involved in influencing Kivra's exciting business and product development of a service that is currently used by more than half of Sweden's population. We offer the flexibility that life sometimes requires, but we believe that collaboration and value creation happens best when we sit and work together from our office in central Stockholm. Moreover, please note that this role requires Swedish citizenship, as it involves access to systems and information subject to national security regulations.

We offer competitive remuneration and great benefits. Read more about our core values and benefits here: https://jobs.kivra.dev/!
