Backend Developer

Hi there! 👋  

We are Alf – a newly formed tech company within Länsförsäkringar Alliance. With a client base of approximately 2 million households, Länsförsäkringar is one of Sweden’s biggest financial groups. Alf is on a mission to create a secure and sustainable way of living by adding cutting-edge IoT tech to 200+ years of experience from helping customers taking care of their homes. 

As a Backend Developer at Alf, you’ll be part of a cross-functional product team building backend services for customer-facing IoT products. You’ll work close to both the product and its users, taking responsibility from design to production in a system where backend quality truly matters. 

Our backend is event-driven, business-critical, and integrated with connected devices. The role suits someone who enjoys working end-to-end, combining feature development with platform improvements. You’ll collaborate closely with frontend and app developers, QA, and the PM to deliver high-quality solutions. 

We work in two-week sprints with daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives. Backend developers join chapter meetings to collaborate, share knowledge, and shape the platform together. We value scalable solutions and place emphasis on test automation. 

The role includes occasional on-call duties, which are of course, fully compensated. 

We’re looking for an experienced backend developer with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, who thrives in a collaborative team and enjoys taking ownership of their work. You’re curious, solution-oriented, and passionate about writing clean, reliable code. You stay up-to-date with modern development practices and are motivated by making a real impact for users. 

You bring: 

• 3-4 years of backend development experience 

• Experience with event-driven systems 

• Experience with REST APIs, PostgreSQL (or similar relational databases), and MongoDB (or similar NoSQL databases) 

Nice to haves:  

• Experience with Node.js 

• Experience with RabbitMQ 

• Experience with Kubernetes and Docker containers 

• Experience with IoT

It’s a full-service solution providing personalized insights, advice and content, which enables the users to proactively take care of and protect their homes. With Alf and Länsförsäkringar, safety and sustainability go hand in hand.

This provides a unique opportunity to become part of an engaged and fun team at an innovative tech company, characterised by the agile and dynamic essence of a startup, all while being supported by the stability and strength of Länsförsäkringar Alliance.
