Job Description
About Handelsbanken’s digital unit
At Handelsbanken, we are building new digital and customer-centric banking services that, together with our digital office, will cater to all digital needs and inquiries from our customers. We are a unit that works as one team with a single purpose; to build the the best digital banking solution for both mobile and web.
Handelsbanken's digital unit is established as a modern, agile organization, with ambitions to set a new standard for customer experience in digital banking and deliver leading mobile and online banking solutions to the Norwegian retail market. To succeed in this, we are now looking for two strong backend engineers with a solid foundation in Java development and a security interest who can ensure the robustness of our digital solution.
We have ambitious goals, work at a fast pace with lots of energy, and the entire bank is fully invested in the success of the digital leap being taken. We also continuously work on diversity among our employees and want to have groups of individuals with different experiences, nationalities, genders, and personalities to build a strong team.
What will your responsibilities be as a Sr. Backend Engineer?
As a Sr. Backend Engineer, you will work with a team of Designers, Product Owners, Dev Ops Experts, and fellow Backend and Frontend Engineers to create amazing digital experiences.
Your day-to-day will consist of finding the best solutions to meet our business goals in a modern, agile work environment, taking ownership and pride in writing secure, well-crafted and tested code. You will be joining a team that has just built a new banking application from scratch, integrating with the existing core banking system.
As we are a new digital unit within the bank, you will also get to think creatively and continuously evolve the development process and ways of working by actively participating in planning and retrospectives. We also want you to take on responsibility for writing secure code, and potentially act as a security champion influencing other developers.
To thrive as a Sr. Backend Engineer with us, we imagine that you are someone with a product acumen, high attention to detail, and quality. For these specific roles we are also looking for someone with a security interest who can take responsibility for secure code and development processes and work proactively in this area. You also need to be able to collaborate with agile product owners to refine requirements and break these down into tasks, and this takes strong communication and collaboration skills.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is motivated by making a positive impact in a traditional industry together with the rest of our team. We are building a brand new digital banking application that is transformative to Handelsbanken, and we want you to take ownership of this journey.
