Job Description
**Assignment Description:**
We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join its Stockholm\-based team. The company is profitable, scaling rapidly, and recently obtained a banking license, bringing significant technical complexity and opportunities to influence both platform and engineering direction.
This role suits someone who thrives in a high\-paced environment with significant ownership, short decision\-making paths, and close collaboration across teams. The engineering organization is intentionally lean, meaning each individual has a meaningful impact on both technical solutions and product development.
**The Role**
**Responsibilities include:**
* Designing, deploying, and operating cloud infrastructure and services on GCP to support scalable and reliable systems.
* Building, optimizing, and scaling backend systems with a cloud\-first mindset using Node.js and PostgreSQL.
* Contributing to system architecture and technical decision\-making to ensure scalability, reliability, and maintainability across financial systems.
* Collaborating closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to shape both technical direction and business strategy.
* Driving best practices within cloud infrastructure, backend engineering, and platform reliability.
* The primary tech stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, React, React Native, and Google Cloud Platform.
**Profile**
The client is looking for someone who:
* Has strong experience building backend systems in modern cloud environments such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
* Takes ownership naturally and is comfortable working independently.
* Has a pragmatic approach to engineering with a focus on quality, performance, and long\-term maintainability.
* Enjoys solving complex problems in fast\-moving environments.
* Is motivated by building and scaling systems rather than only maintaining existing platforms.
* Requirements
* At least 5 years of professional experience within backend and/or cloud engineering, preferably from high\-stakes environments such as fintech or finance.
* Strong experience with Node.js and SQL databases, ideally PostgreSQL.
* Experience designing, deploying, and monitoring solutions on major cloud platforms.
* Solid understanding of system design and distributed systems.
**Nice to have:**
* Experience with React, Python, Go, GraphQL, or Kubernetes.
* Experience with DevOps practices and CI/CD workflows, including Github Actions.
* Interest in AI\-assisted development tools and modern engineering workflows.
