NOBA Bank Group AB (publ)

Stockholm•Heltid•Posted: Jun 11•Deadline: Dec 9

We’re looking for a Cloud Engineer who enjoys working in the space where developers and infrastructure meet. Here, you’ll spend your time automating the mundane, architecting the complex, and scaling the future of our Azure AI and OpenAI offerings. This role is for you if you find more joy in writing a PowerShell script to solve a recurring app error than in managing a cluster’s networking. This is a code-centric role where infrastructure is treated as a software product. Everything you build is versioned, reviewed, tested, and continuously improved. Our goal is to reduce repetitive work and create the “Golden Paths” that let developers and AI teams deploy quickly, securely, and reliably. About the role: As a Cloud Engineer, you’ll help build and grow our Azure-based platform. You’ll own the design, automation, and delivery of modular cloud infrastructure, ensuring it’s resilient, scalable, and easy for teams to use. Your work will reduce friction, remove unnecessary steps, and make it simple for developers and data teams to focus on building features instead of worrying about infrastructure. What you’ll do: Build the "Golden Path" Pipelines: You won't just "run" pipelines; you will architect them. You’ll design and maintain CI/CD templates (YAML-based) that standardize how our applications are built, tested, and deployed. Your goal is to make the path from code-complete to production-ready as invisible and frictionless as possible for our developers. Automated Application Remediation: We don't believe in manual maintenance. You will use PowerShell and Azure DevOps to build automated pipelines for things like patching the container OS, reporting on deviations and self healing infrastructure Infrastructure as Versioned Code: You’ll design and implement modular Azure infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Bicep), following the Azure Well-Architected Framework for reliability, performance, and cost. We are looking for you who have: Expert-level PowerShell skills: We operate in an environment where automation is built on PowerShell first. (Bash & Python are secondary) Proven experience with Azure Bicep: You should be comfortable treating infrastructure as a software product, versioning, testing and modularizing Bicep code. Developer-centric approach: You don't need to be a fullstack developer, but you need to understand application logic enough to automate patching, troubleshoot database connections, and optimize application performance within the cloud. Fluency in English (written and spoken). You’ll be comfortable owning tasks end to end and making technical decisions independently within the areas listed above. Ideally, you have some years of hands-on experience with Azure, containers, and CI/CD pipelines, but we care more about what you can do and that you enjoy the field, rather than the exact number of years. It's positive if you have: Active Azure certifications such as AZ-400 (DevOps Engineer), AZ-305 (Solutions Architect), AZ-204 (Developer Associate) Experience from regulated or security-conscious environments is a plus In addition to this, it is important to us that you recognize yourself in our values: we are wholehearted, we collaborate and we take the lead.
