Who we are

Grade is one of the leading SaaS HR-tech providers in the Nordics. We develop a comprehensive Talent Management system designed to help organizations attract, develop, and retain top talent. Our products cover the entire employee journey, from recruitment to learning and growth, all developed in-house to ensure high quality and seamless integration.

With offices in Sweden (Stockholm, Lund, Trollhättan), Norway (Bodø), and Finland (Helsinki, Oulu), we collaborate across countries to deliver outstanding solutions to large organizations throughout the Nordics.

Grade is a relatively young group, which means there’s still great opportunity to influence our processes, ways of working, and technical direction.

The role as DevOps Engineer

As DevOps Engineer for Grade Talent in Lund, you will play a key role in ensuring stable, secure, and efficient development and production environments for one of our core platforms.

The Grade Talent platform currently runs multiple production environments per customer. One of your main objectives will be to fully automate deployment processes and help modernize how the application is built, updated, and run, with a clear goal of achieving end-to-end automated deployments.

You will balance hands-on operational work with responsibility for automation, CI/CD, and platform reliability. You will be 100% dedicated to the Grade Talent platform, while also belonging to Grade’s central DevOps team and contributing to shared standards, tooling, and long-term DevOps strategy.

Your key responsibilities include

• Work hands-on with CI/CD pipelines, automation, and deployment processes
• Take senior ownership of reliability, security, and operational quality in development and production environments
• Drive the transition toward fully automated deployments across multiple customer environments
• Modernize how applications are built and run, including moving toward containerized solutions
• Work with container technologies such as Docker, and contribute to future initiatives involving Kubernetes or similar platforms
• Collaborate closely with development teams and Tech Leads to enable efficient, developer-friendly workflows
• Monitor system health, performance, and availability, and proactively identify risks and improvements
• Ensure the system is well-documented, from environments and pipelines to onboarding materials
• Estimate efforts, assess risks, and contribute to solution strategies for platform and DevOps initiatives
• Act as a senior DevOps partner within Grade Talent while contributing to the broader DevOps team
• Promote security, performance, and reliability as shared responsibilities across the platform

• Has solid experience as a senior DevOps Engineer or in a similar role
• Has deep hands-on experience with CI/CD, automation, and deployment pipelines
• Has experience with containerization technologies such as Docker, and preferably Kubernetes or similar platforms
• Understands system-level architecture and how applications behave across environments
• Is familiar with development stacks such as .NET, Java, React, Node.js, or similar
• Takes ownership of operational quality, testing, and CI/CD practices
• Enjoys shaping processes, tooling, and standards, not just following them
• Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Enjoys collaborating with and enabling development teams
• Speaks and writes Swedish and English fluently
