Why join our team? 

IT Corporate is a Nordic/Baltic IT unit with around 60 employees.

You will be part of the IT Corporate Architecture team, working closely with corporate units such as Accounting, Financial Reporting, Cash Management, Marketing, Legal, HR, and Risk. The Corporate Architecture unit is part of If’s centralized IT Architecture organization. 

We work closely with business and engineering teams on large, cross-cutting initiatives and are actively transforming the IT landscape of the Corporate area. Our mission is to build a modern and sustainable tech landscape that delivers stable, high-quality solutions and enables business transformation — particularly within the CFO area and financial reporting. 

About you 

You are a curious and collaborative team player who communicates clearly in English and can explain complex topics in a structured way. You enjoy working cross‑functionally, can connect architectural decisions to business needs, and have a strong interest in data‑oriented architecture, platforms, and integration. Also, you are comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on involvement in a changing environment.  

We believe that you 

• Are experienced within Microsoft technologies, including Databricks, and are familiar with public cloud platforms such as Azure or other. 

• Have experience of transitioning towards microservice-based architecture 

• Worked with standardized information models and reusable integration patterns 

• Have experience from data mesh strategy and implementing data products as a concept
