Backend Developer (Authentication and Authorization)

Join us at Kivra! We are looking for people with passion for software development, love solving problems, and thrive in agile development environments. We have grown tremendously and are looking for a backend developer that, together with a team of motivated developers, will shape the future of authentication and authorization at Kivra!

At Kivra, we are building services that connect over 6 million people by providing a safe and accessible digital infrastructure that everyone in Sweden can trust and use. At the same time, we are saving trees - reducing the paper that is printed and transported - by providing a better digital alternative to physical paper communication.

You’ll join Kivra's Platform Team as a backend engineer. Here you will build and maintain secure, reliable, and scalable auth solutions for our users, senders, and partners, and work in close collaboration with other developers and technical leads. In your new role, you will:

• Build and maintain "golden path" auth solutions and 3rd-party integrations based on industry standards (OAuth 2.1)

• Migrate legacy services from Erlang/Elixir to Go

• Build and maintain internal auth libraries that are used by other teams (Go, Erlang)

• Support other teams in implementing auth flows in their services and educate them about best practices

• Evaluate open-source technologies and integrate them into our tech stack

• Participate in systems architecture discussions, inside and outside the team

Tools and technologies we're using include Go, Erlang, Elixir, Python, KrakenD, Kafka, Postgres, Riak, Redis, Grafana, Docker, GCP, Terraform, GitHub and more.

Knowledge is important, but so is attitude! Kivra's culture is strongly influenced by kindness, drive, and the willingness to produce high-quality work. How you fit in with your team is super important for us - we thrive on being nice and helpful and always encourage growth.

We think that you:

• Are a humble team player who's passionate about building secure, reliable, and scalable systems

• Have strong programming skills in Go and an interest in Erlang/Elixir

• Have a good understanding of OAuth 2.1 and related standards

• Have experience building and operating complex systems in production environments

• Are comfortable presenting your work to technical and non-technical audiences

• Are a coach who guides less experienced developers in improving their skills

We also value hands-on experience in these areas:

• Operating highly available Postgres or Redis databases

• Deploying and operating services on Kubernetes or Google Cloud Run

This role is full-time and our office is based in Stockholm. We encourage in-office collaboration and see that you also want to work on-site approximately 60% of the time. Fluency in English is required and fluency in Swedish is a plus but not required. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor new work permits, but are able to sponsor/renew existing work permits!

Kivra offers a role in a caring and committed team, in a company that is growing and continuously innovating. You’ll join a warm and friendly culture that thrives on collaboration and teamwork. You will be involved in shaping and influencing a product currently used by more than half of Sweden’s population.
