Lead Platform Engineer - Sweden

Allica is the UK’s fastest growing company - and the fastest-growing financial technology (Fintech) firm ever. Our purpose is to

help established SMEs, one of the last major underserved opportunities in Fintech.

Established SMEs are the backbone of local communities - representing over a third of our economy - yet have been largely

neglected both by traditional high street banks and modern fintech providers.

It's not every day you get the chance to help build a new bank. Allica Bank is expanding into Sweden, and we're looking for

someone to take our proven UK tech stack and shape it into the secure, compliant platform that Allica Bank Sweden will run on.

Allica is a UK bank that backs established SMEs, the businesses that form the backbone of local communities and have too often

been overlooked by traditional banks and fintechs. In the UK, Allica has quickly become one of the fastest-growing fintech firms.

Now we're bringing that model and ambition to Sweden, building on the technology that already powers Allica in the UK.

As our founding Lead Platform Engineer in Sweden, you'll set the technical foundation for Allica Bank Sweden's cloud self-service

platform and be personally accountable for it. You'll report directly to the CTO and work closely with our UK Platform Engineering

Team on shared standards and tooling.

The UK stack gives us a strong starting point, but it won't transfer seamlessly. Much will need to be adapted and developed along

the way, and you'll be the one deciding where to align with the UK and where to deliberately diverge. This is a hands-on role.

You'll build alongside the team, make consequential technical calls independently from day one, and mentor platform engineers as

the function grows. Your customers are internal: product and data engineering teams choose whether to use what you build, so

adoption is what we measure. We're in start-up mode in Sweden, so expect a fast-moving environment with a lot of ownership.

• Own Allica Sweden's instance of the Allica platform, adapting the UK stack for Sweden: landing zones, subscriptions, network

topology, container runtime and resilience patterns.

• Build the reusable core: Terraform modules, deployment templates and platform services that let product teams self-serve

production-grade infrastructure.

• A strong track record of architecting and running production cloud environments at scale, with production accountability for

systems that matter.

• Fluency in landing zone and subscription design, private networking, containerized compute, API management and resilience

patterns.

• A pragmatic mindset: you prefer the boring, well-understood solution, you design for adoption rather than mandate, and you

treat regulation as a design input. You're comfortable with ambiguity and don't get stuck searching for the perfect solution.

Nice to have: Experience in regulated industries, Kubernetes and serverless, Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and FinOps and

operational resilience.

At Allica Bank we want to ensure our employees have the right tools and environment in which to succeed in their role and in

support of our customers.

Don’t worry if you don’t have all the skills or requirements listed on the job description. If you think you’ll be a good fit,

we’d still love to hear from you!

We know the ‘9-to-5’ isn’t right for everyone. That’s why Allica Bank is fully committed to flexible and hybrid working. Please

let us know what is best for you and, if we can, we will do our best to accommodate.

We’re a diverse bunch here at Allica, with all kinds of experiences, backgrounds and lifestyles. Our openness and differences make

us stronger, and we want everybody to feel comfortable bringing as much of themselves to work with them as they like.
