Job description

Overview

Want to work on impactful cloud features? Comfortable designing resilient and secure microservices, keeping systems reliable? Then you could be a great fit to join our team who builds and operates our License Management Service in the Cloud (LMSC).

As a Cloud Software Engineer for LMSC at IAR, you’ll focus on strengthening the current service in terms of security, stability and scaling. You’ll also plan and take part in further development together with Product Owner and the rest of the team, contributing on both the cloud and client side.

The license service (LMSC) is a central component that is used by all IAR’s subscription-based products, and you will therefore work closely both with internal IT and technical support/back-office as a subject-matter expert to make sure that the service delivers the best possible performance and experience for IARs customers.

Your role includes, but is not limited to:

• Develop, operate and continuously improve highly available web services running in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters.
• Handle multi-region deployments in Sweden, US and China.
• Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and Helm) to define environments and manage service releases.
• Plan and run stress/performance tests
• Use monitoring, dashboards and alerting (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana) to validate reliability and drive improvements.
• Partner with IT on production operations under SLA and on related integrations; communicate clearly across teams to resolve incidents and follow up on improvements.
• Participate in technical design and code reviews
• Investigate and evaluate new technologies and practices.
• Train colleagues/users in your SME area and drive continuous improvement.
• Prepare and provide input for product documentation and internal guides.

Who we’re looking for

You are a senior engineer who blends deep cloud infrastructure expertise with strong software development skills. You think ahead, ask the right questions, and make pragmatic trade-offs to deliver reliable, high-quality software.

To succeed in this role, you have:

• Built cloud services in JavaScript/Typescript. Able to collaborate across C++, Python or React is a plus.
• Proven experience operating live cloud services, with hands-on experience improving monitoring and alerting, conducting stress/performance testing, and strengthening resilience and failover.
• Cloud and cluster expertise across Azure, AWS, or GCP, including Kubernetes traffic & routing fundamentals.
• Secure coding practices for cloud apps and can configure application edge configurations (gateways/load balancers—TLS/HTTPS, basic DNS, private endpoints).
• Worked with Infrastructure as Code, like Terraform and Helm.

Nice-to-haves

• GitOps practices and tooling (e.g., ArgoCD).
• Jenkins experience.
• Multi-region design experience.
• NoSQL databases like MongoDB and Redis.
• Observability stacks including Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.
