Job description

Nordic Investin is recruiting a Senior Container Security Engineer on behalf of one of our partner companies. You want architecture, delivery and production behaviour to agree, and you turn difficult constraints into systems that teams can operate and improve.

The partner is strengthening its capability in security controls embedded in container platforms and delivery pipelines. You will take responsibility for work that connects Kubernetes security, admission control and image signing, while ensuring that runtime defence and CI security receive appropriate discipline. The objective is progress that colleagues can use and leaders can evaluate.

The environment suits someone who tests assumptions early, documents trade-offs and treats operability as part of the design.

How you will work

You will work directly with the people who design, operate and depend on the systems being protected. Recommendations must identify the threat, the affected asset and a realistic implementation path. The partner values careful evidence, proportionate controls and clear escalation when risk cannot be removed immediately.

This role calls for independent judgement and the ability to raise the quality around you. You will be expected to recognise when a decision needs wider expertise, make trade-offs visible and move work forward without creating unnecessary process.

What you will do

• Own the practical direction for security controls embedded in container platforms and delivery pipelines.

• Translate goals and constraints into a clear approach for Kubernetes security and admission control.

• Establish useful standards, routines or artefacts around image signing.

• Coordinate stakeholders and dependencies affecting runtime defence.

• Use evidence and measurable outcomes to improve CI security.

• Strengthen knowledge sharing, decision quality and sustainable ownership across the team.

What you will bring

• Relevant experience delivering security controls embedded in container platforms and delivery pipelines in a demanding environment.

• Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes security and admission control.

• Practical experience applying image signing and runtime defence.

• Ability to assess risk, priorities and trade-offs involving CI security.

• Evidence of clear stakeholder communication and dependable end-to-end ownership.

• Professional English and the judgement to work with sensitive or business-critical information.

Experience that would add value

• Experience from cloud-native product organisations.

• Exposure to cloud IAM in a cross-functional environment.

• Swedish language skills or experience working across Nordic organisations.

A background that can succeed here

Your background may be product engineering, platform work, enterprise technology or consulting. What matters is technical depth connected to user and business consequences. Direct experience of security controls embedded in container platforms and delivery pipelines is valuable, while adjacent experience counts when it shows transferable judgement.

What makes the opportunity interesting

The attraction is meaningful ownership in an environment where sound judgement changes both the solution and the decisions around it. The focus on security controls embedded in container platforms and delivery pipelines gives the role a clear mission and room to influence priorities and measures of success.

The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the opportunity before asking you to make a decision.

The recruitment conversation

Nordic Investin will focus on decisions you have made: the context, alternatives, result and what you would change today. You will also have room to test whether the role and partner environment are right for you.
