Become a Backend/Infrastructure Engineer in The Rainforest

Who we are

The Rainforest is Saab's accelerator and lung for transformative innovation, and you can now be a part of it!

We are currently expanding our team with curious, ambitious, and kind-hearted software engineers.

The current expedition that we have embarked on is focused on developing a service-based autonomous airborne system for saving lives where nothing else can, both in a civil security and a military context. We would love to tell you more about what we are working on, but unfortunately for that you need to become part of our team! You can be sure, though, that this requires a lot of exciting software development in everything from DevSecOps to control systems for autonomous flying vehicles.

The Rainforest functions as an internal start-up at Saab with the purpose of defying the conventional. In The Rainforest we work in cross-disciplinary agile autonomous teams where inclusion and diversity is cherished. Everyone is their own informed captain, with extensive freedom and responsibility to act in the best interest of Saab and The Rainforest without lengthy approval processes.

The priorities in The Rainforest are simple:

* Walk the walk over talk the talk.
* Trust people over relying on processes.
* Radical transparency over withholding information.
* Long-term success over short-term solutions.
* Build super teams over heroes flying solo.
* 90% in a day over 99% in a year.

Who You Are

You are a person that feels at home in an inclusive and diverse high-performing environment. You care about how different engineering and business disciplines connect but you are most passionate about writing beautiful functioning code. You have experience of working in agile teams, using tools such as Gitlab or Jira.

As a Backend/Infrastructure Engineer you are the unsung hero that makes stuff "just work". You are a person that feels a warmth inside when someone marvels at your applications up-time of 99.99%. You are passionate about cloud deployments and understand how much simpler release management and scaling is if we use microservices and containers as they are supposed to be used! You should be an advanced user of Python, Kubernetes & Docker with experience in OpenStack cloud architectures. It is highly desirable that you have some cyber security experience as well. A plus is if you have experience working with safety-critical applications.
