Your responsibilities

We are looking for a Senior IT Developer to strengthen the BX&ST Software Development team in developing and modernising components supporting Cross-border & Swift payments. The positions are permanent and full-time, with hybrid working according to Nordea guidelines.

About this opportunity

Welcome to the BX&ST Software Development team!

This involves working cooperatively with other agile team members and stakeholders

* Supporting knowledge sharing and mentoring in the team, especially by helping less experienced developers understand design choices, integration patterns and production-quality engineering practices

* Using AI-assisted development and automation in a responsible way to improve productivity, quality and learning, and help spread practical engineering practices across the team
