Here you’ll have the freedom to shape the way cloud networking and automation is done, right from the data centre and backbone up to APIs and user-facing services. Your ideas will get built because curiosity and practical problem-solving matter more than long CVs.
Enjoy Nordic work-life balance and the stability of a collective bargaining agreement, giving you peace of mind around employment conditions*. You’ll work alongside sharp colleagues who will challenge and inspire you, while contributing to advancing a true European cloud.
You can work fully remote, from the Stockholm office, or anywhere in Europe, with a home-office fund and equipment of your choice to support you.
You will join Europe-wide team that’s big on trust and low on micromanagement.
What you’ll do
Automate hybrid networks, creating tools for deploying, monitoring and scaling using Ansible, Terraform and Python (or Go, if that’s your preference)
Build and improve real-world services like ElasticIP, BGP-based load balancers, RPKI and making IPv6 rollout easier
Troubleshoot where app, OS and packet meet, solving issues like flaky routes, odd DHCP requests or user features that haven’t been built yet
You’ll deepen your expertise in networking, automation and cloud-native environments while working on complex, high-impact systems
What you’ll need
Good hands-on experience with Linux, Kubernetes, infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native setups
Practical knowledge of networking, having debugged BGP, automated router configs or managed IPv6 deployments
A knack for making smart choices around hardware, vendor and open-source solutions

Small company - big impact of your work - join us!
We’d love to welcome talent from everywhere, but right now our work on sovereign cloud services means we can only hire people based in the EU and with a valid work permit there. If you’re not currently in the EU, we hope you’ll keep an eye on our future openings — we’re growing and things can change.
I don't live in Sweden or Norway, how do you handle employment contract?
No problem! We work with a trusted Employer of Record (EoR) in your country. This lets us hire you where you are, give you a local contract, and make sure you get the same care, benefits, and legal protections as everyone on the team.
How do you set salaries?
We want you to feel valued and fairly compensated from day one. Our salaries are benchmarked against market data for companies our size, plus local union recommendations where applicable. We also look at your role’s responsibilities, your skills, and your experience — so what you bring to the table is recognized.
When will I start?
We are interviewing candidates on rolling basis with the intended start date at the beginning of November.
