This critical role is centered on designing, defining requirements for, and leading the implementation of a world-class Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process with a paramount focus on security. Our objective is to embed security seamlessly and efficiently into every phase of development, from initial concept to deployment and beyond.

Balancing Security and Velocity: The core goal is to build an SDLC that expertly maximizes developer productivity and agility while simultaneously ensuring that all security requirements placed upon our products—including data protection, compliance, and threat mitigation—are consistently met and verifiable.
Requirement Definition: Translate high-level security policies and risk management objectives into clear, actionable, and testable technical requirements for development teams.
Developer Enablement: Develop and deliver training, guidelines, and documentation to empower developers to write secure code from the outset, adopting a "Security as Code" mindset.
Collaboration and Reporting: This role requires close collaboration with all engineering disciplines and involves participation in the Platform Security team's daily operations, including incident response and threat modeling as needed.
Reporting Structure: This vital role reports directly to the Director of Platform Security, who is based in our Gothenburg office.

What You’ll Bring:

3+ years of relevant professional experience
Proven background in software development, specifically in designing and implementing robust SDLC processes and CI/CD pipelines
