Join us at Kivra! At Kivra, we are building services that connect over 6 million people with more than 50 000 senders in both the private and public sector. We provide a safe and accessible digital infrastructure that everyone in Sverige can trust and use.

Now we’re looking for a Director of Platform Engineering to lead the Nästa chapter of our technical journey — ensuring that Kivra continues to scale securely, reliably, and sustainably.

About The Role

As Director of Platform Engineering, you’ll lead and grow the teams that design, build, and operate Kivra’s technical foundation.

You’ll be responsible for our core platform, ensuring that our services are robust, scalable, and built to handle millions of secure digital interactions every day.

You’ll manage and coach several engineering managers and technical leads — fostering a culture of learning, ownership, and craftsmanship. You’ll also play an active role in strategic architecture discussions, infrastructure modernization, and hands‑on technical direction. You will report to and partner up with our CTO.

At Kivra, our Platform Engineering organization supports the entire product ecosystem, enabling fast and reliable development across our domains and cross‑functional teams. This role is both strategic and hands‑on, combining a people‑Första mindset with technical excellence.

What You’ll Do
  • Define and drive the vision and roadmap for Kivra’s platform — across infrastructure, data and core services.
  • Lead and develop multiple engineering teams, ensuring they are happy, motivated, and empowered to grow.
  • Mentor engineering managers and developers, reinforcing high‑quality engineering practices and a collaborative mindset.
  • Provide technical direction and ensure best practices in reliability, scalability, and security.
  • Foster a “You build it - You own it” culture based on continuous improvement, enabling automation, observability and operational excellence.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, data, and infrastructure teams in order to ensure that platform capabilities align with Kivra’s business and user needs.
  • Guide architectural decisions across backend and infrastructure domains, using technologies like Erlang, Elixir, Go, Kubernetes, and GCP.
  • Contribute to technical discussions and lead by example — by participating in design reviews, operational incidents, and key technical initiatives.
About You

Knowledge is important, but so is attitude!

Kivra’s culture is rooted in collaboration, trust and the drive to build high‑quality products. We believe that great people build great things together. As Director of Platform Engineering, you’ll have a significant impact on how our teams work — enabling a culture built on collaboration, trust, and continuous improvement.

We Believe You
  • Have extensive experience leading platform, infrastructure, or backend engineering teams in complex environments.
  • Have a strong technical foundation, ideally with experience in Erlang/Elixir, Go, Kubernetes and cloud platforms (GCP/AWS).
  • Are a hands‑on leader who can support your teams with technical direction, trade‑offs and system architecture.
  • Are passionate about building reliable, secure, and scalable systems, and value simplicity and automation.
  • Are a strategic thinker who can align technical decisions with long‑term business goals.
  • Thrive in agile and DevOps environments, and believe in short feedback loops, continuous delivery, and learning.
  • Communicate clearly and empathetically — with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

It’s also a plus if you have previous experience working in regulated or security‑sensitive domains (fintech, govtech, digital identity).

What We Offer

Kivra offers a role in a caring and committed team, in a Företag that is growing and continuously innovating. You’ll join a warm and friendly culture that thrives on collaboration and teamwork. You will be involved in shaping and influencing a product currently used by more than half of Sverige’s population. We offer the flexibility that life sometimes requires, but we believe that collaboration and value creation happens best when we sit and work together from our office in central Stockholm. Fluency in both English and Swedish is required.

We offer competitive remuneration and great benefits.
