Senior Backend Developer

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join us.

I’m Tomas Brimor, Engineering Manager for Team Enrichment & API at Telia Play, and I’m searching for someone ready to grow with us. We’re a supportive, forward-thinking team focused on serving as the engine behind the consistent, complete, and lightning-fast metadata catalog powering the Telia TV experience across the Nordics. If you’re passionate about designing high-performance systems, solving complex data problems, and building software that has direct impact, this is your opportunity to make a difference.

What you’ll do:

As a developer in our team, you will work at the core of our metadata ecosystem to aggregate, normalize, enrich, and deliver metadata efficiently.

• Develop backend services that process and enrich metadata in near real-time using Java, Kotlin, and Spring Boot.

• Create APIs and event-driven systems to support metadata distribution across teams using SNS, SQS, and Kinesis.

• Consult with backend developers, data specialists, and other teams to innovate across the entire Metadata lifecycle from ingestion to delivery.

• Optimize performance and correctness in a high-throughput, low-latency pipeline while maintaining a cloud-native workflow.

What will help you thrive in this role:

We are looking for a proactive team player who takes ownership and thinks beyond code to improve systems as a whole.

• Proven experience in Java/Kotlin and backend development with 5+ years of professional experience.

• Strong knowledge of microservices architecture, cloud-native services (AWS), and infrastructure as code using Terraform.

• Ability to design and maintain data processing pipelines, APIs, system integrations, and secure software development practices.

• Fluency in English and strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
