Engineer (Infrastructure Security)

Klarna is the largest fintech company in Europe to become a bank and we aim high. We don’t focus on where we’ve come from. What matters to us is where we are going. Klarna’s goal is to improve the online buying experience for our consumers and merchants all over the world.

Engineering is rapidly growing and the Infrastructure Security team is looking for people passionate about automating and embedding security to protect cloud architectures on the infrastructure level.

If you are self-driven, passionate about scaling security through automation and experienced in working with cloud architectures such as AWS, this is a position for you. You will get a lot of opportunities to work with engineering teams to build scalable solutions for securing our staging and production environments. We provide a mentoring and competence track specific for you to get you up to speed.

Our mission in the InfraSec team is to protect Klarna systems by providing security services as part of the standard deployment infrastructure platform; thus automating away security for our engineering teams.

We are therefore looking for new colleagues who want to work on improving the security of our infrastructure components (i.e., networks, systems, containers, orchestration layers and CI/CD pipelines).

Get in touch with us if you would enjoy:

Solving security challenges in the cloud
Integrating automated security features in the deployment and provisioning of services
Working with engineering teams to drive security improvements
Taking an active role in architectural decisions
Having fun and sharing your knowledge and expertise while doing so

It would be great if you have:

Experience with automation/scripting/DevOps, preferably in Python or NodeJS
Experience in securing a microservices architecture, e.g. AWS
Hands-on experience in building API-based solutions
Experience in working with containers and related technologies
Experience in building CI/CD pipelines
