Platform Engineer


Nasdaq was founded in 1971 as the world's first electronic stock market. Through the acquisition of OMX with headquarters in Stockholm in 2008, Nasdaq became a global player. Today Nasdaq is the world's largest technology provider to Financial Markets, delivering top-of-the-line trading, clearing, and settlement technology, and advisory services to exchanges and partners worldwide.


Nasdaq is continuously revolutionizing markets and undergoing transformations while we adopt new technologies to develop innovative solutions, constantly aiming to rewrite tomorrow.


We have started the transition to go from on-prem to cloud. Hence, we are dependent on reliable and strong development pipelines to ensure engineering efficiency and happy users.


Your Role and Responsibilities:


The Development Pipeline team’s vision is to enable Nasdaq developers around the world to develop software, get rapid feedback, and deliver on their commitment with a traceable, measurable, and low maintenance scalable toolchain.


You will work with a team of six (6) professionals based in Stockholm and Umeå within the Global Technology business unit. The team’s mission is to continuously iterate on selecting, providing, and running the outstanding toolchain to support rapid agile development with quick and easily consumable feedback loops. To be successful in the adoption of tools and processes you need to thrive in an environment where you must champion your work to drive global usage and support. By doing this you will significantly affect Nasdaq’s journey to rewrite tomorrow.
