Software Engineer, JVM (Scala) - Identity, Schibsted Account

Life is more enjoyable when you share it with the right people, and the Identity team is all about making sharing simple, safe, and worthwhile.

Join us and you’ll be providing millions of people with instant access to a seamless experience across the Schibsted ecosystem. Each day we power enriched, personalized experiences for millions of people across some of the biggest Nordic brands, whilst offering a secure, central home where our users are in full control of their information.

We have a (mostly) modern tech stack which we refine and grow as we discover solutions for the situations we face. Today you will find yourself with the opportunity to work with Scala, Kotlin, Java, PHP, micro-services (with a complimentary monolith), SQL & NoSQL databases, a wide range of AWS services, Kubernetes, Terraform, as well as experiment with new technologies.

What you'll do

- Build microservices whilst embracing - and hopefully breaking apart - our legacy monolith
- Evolve the authentication and authorisation flows for one of the largest login and identity solutions in the Nordics
- Work together with Product Managers, User Experience Designers and Engineering teammates to build and improve features for Schibsted account
- Bring forward and develop ideas which are vital to the biggest news media sites and the largest marketplaces across Norway, Sweden, and Finland
- Contribute to engineering efforts from investigation, to design, to implementation; solving complex technical challenges along the way
- Collaborate across teams, functions, and companies within Schibsted to create the best possible product and user experience
- Coach others in your strengths, learn from your peers, and embrace complete ownership of our product

- Want to be part of a completely autonomous, cross-functional team - so you are keen to learn and contribute in the different competences and skills your peers bring to the table - whether it is DevOps, Product, UX, or something else
