You will work with current AWS technology whilst ensuring reliable storage and retrieval of billions of documents.

What you will be doing

You will work in the Cloud Archive squad, a growing team within Customer Capabilities, where 120+ colleagues across Denmark, Lithuania, and India build robust solutions for millions of customers. Your work involves designing and implementing a greenfield archive solution that gradually replaces the existing system, handling billions of documents, and hundreds of millions of requests yearly. You will own the entire lifecycle of cloud-based archive solutions, from design through deployment.

• Design large-scale data storage and retrieval systems using AWS services
• Build highly scalable, elastic solutions prioritizing performance and response times
• Deploy applications using Java 25, ECS clusters, S3, DynamoDB, and Terraform
• Ensure compliance with data protection regulations and security requirements
• Implement resilient services with failover and disaster recovery capabilities
• Collaborate with product owners and engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions

About you

• Deep Java backend expertise with domain-driven design and clean architecture
• Solid experience operating services in public cloud environments (AWS preferred)
• Experience designing highly available services with production reliability focus
• Strong API design skills applying best practices for secure interactions
• Practical CI/CD experience with GitHub Actions and frequent deployments
• Comfortable working in regulated environments prioritizing security and compliance
• Collaborative mindset that prioritizes team success
• Fluent in Danish
• It would be great if you also have experience with asynchronous communication patterns like Kafka, large-scale systems design, or infrastructure-as-code with Terraform.

What we offer you

You will join an autonomous squad with end-to-end ownership of cloud solutions, working with current technology including GitHub Copilot and AWS Services. We offer comprehensive benefits including high pension, health insurance, and 7 weeks holiday. Our hybrid work model allows 1-2 days working from home per week, and you will be based in our Aarhus office at Jægergårdsgade 101b with good transport connections and employer-paid parking.
