• Curiosity and a drive for continuous learning and professional growth
• A collaborative team player who enjoys sharing knowledge and learning from others

What do weoffer:

• Meaningful work with real societal impact—helping detect and prevent financial crime

• A chance to work with scalable data and integration platforms (streaming and batch) that are critical to SEB’s financial crime prevention capabilities
• A team culture striving for short feedback loops to be more efficient using practices such as CI/CD, automated testing, and continuous improvement
