Software Engineer

Ready to combine deep engineering expertise and a product-first mindset to redefine the future of digital banking? As a Software Engineer at Nordiska, you'll help shape system architecture, deliver complex features, and write high-quality code - building embedded finance where banking meets tech.

Nordiska is a bank that provides innovative financial products for both companies and consumers. Nordiska Embedded is a platform for embedded financial services, where we offer savings, lending, and payment services, either under our own brand or through partners. Nordiska also provides corporate and real estate financing, as well as sustainable savings with a government-backed deposit guarantee.

Our code of conduct is the foundation for everything we do. We act with honesty and responsibility to build long-term trust among customers, partners, and employees. We believe that diversity drives innovation and encourages each employee to contribute their unique expertise and perspective. We are driven and dedicated to making a difference. Our employees receive a competitive benefits package.

As a Software Engineer, you will primarily work with Nordiska Embedded. We combine the best of two worlds - at our core, we're a stable, regulated bank paired with a product-tech mentality that thrives on agility, curiosity, and innovation. As Nordiska expands into new markets, onboards new customers, builds new products and features - you will work closely with the Tech Leads and Lead Engineer to set technical standards and ensure that the team's output is robust, scalable, and secure. You'll be an important part of modernizing systems, reducing technical debt, and are a key contributor to system architecture, complex feature development, and code quality.

In addition to your technical work, you are an important cornerstone to our culture of continuous improvement and of our high-performing team, as we grow.

• Design and implement solutions using functional programming - a core part of how we architect and write our code.
• Drive engineering excellence by defining technical standards, system architecture, design principles, and long-term technology strategy for engineering excellence.
• Deliver high-impact features - implementing complex functionality that meets stringent performance, reliability, and security requirements.
• Design, build, and maintain APIs.
• Ensure best practices, clean code, testing/observability, and a culture of continuous learning.
• Collaborate cross-functionally and work closely with Product and Engineering leadership to ensure technical execution supports strategic objectives.
• Our tech stack also includes Kubernetes, Kafka, and Docker, so an understanding is beneficial.

Good to know  - You will work with evolving our tech stack. Most of our services are written in Scala with ZIO but we have a few legacy services in Akka.

• Junior- Mid- or Senior-level depth in programming, frameworks, and system design in Scala with the possibility to work with modern technologies such as ZIO 2, Tapir, and Doobie.
• Expertise in event-driven architecture (EDA) and cloud computing (GCP). A strong interest in AI technologies is considered an advantage.
• Hands-on expertise with architectural patterns, scaling strategies, performance optimization, security, and resilience.
• Demonstrated capability to mentor others and lead by example.
• Proven track record of delivering high-quality, large-scale software systems.
• Fluency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

• As a true self-leader, you take ownership and operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.
• You communicate clearly, collaborate seamlessly across functions, and navigate confidently in a regulated context.
• You'll contribute to a high-performing and humble team, bringing strong analytical skills and a proactive, solution-driven approach.

If you're looking to join a growth-driven environment that pairs innovation with profitability and reliability, welcome to Nordiska. We look forward to receiving your application.

We review and interview continuously, with background checks as part of the final stage of our process. For questions about the role and or more information, you are warmly welcome to contact Lydia Cezar at or
