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.
Bank at core, innovation at heart
Nordiska is a bank offering a complete range of financial services, allowing us to tailor solutions to each customer while simultaneously enabling them to gain access to advanced financial technology. Part of our offering is our Embedded platform, enabling enterprise partners across Europe to seamlessly integrate financial services – including saving, lending, and payments – into innovative product offerings. Additionally, we provide corporate and real estate financing, as well as sustainable savings with a government-backed deposit guarantee.
To meet future demands, we continuously scale our modern technology platform, expand partner integrations, and accelerate product innovation to help shape the future of financial services.
Working at Nordiska
Since our founding, we have been committed to driving innovation and creating meaningful impact. We work towards an ambitious vision and goals, backed up by our history of successfully delivering high-quality results and sustainable growth.
Historically and going forward, the people working at Nordiska are what enables our success. We balance our professional environment with an entrepreneurial mindset, always acting with honesty and responsibility, to build long-term trust among customers, partners and employees.
About the Role
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.
What You’ll Do
As Software Engineer, some of your key responsibilities are:
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.
We’re Looking for Someone who has
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.
Your Professional Profile
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.
Application & Process
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 [email protected] or +46702848844
