Your role

At Saab, we operate in an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving security environment, where technological superiority, resilience, and operational readiness are critical to safeguarding society and national interests. As Saab continues its international growth journey, digital capabilities are becoming fundamental to enabling mission-critical operations, accelerating innovation, and strengthening strategic advantage across all domains.

Technology is no longer a support function — it is a core operational capability. The ability to securely collect, process, distribute, and operationalize data at scale is essential across Saab’s product portfolio and future defense capabilities. By integrating cloud, automation, cyber, and software-defined platforms deeper into our operational ecosystem, we enable faster decision-making, increased operational agility, and resilient mission execution.

Key focus areas within Saab Technology include:

• Accelerating transformation across products, platforms, and engineering workflows
• Strengthening capabilities within cloud, cyber, automation, AI, edge computing, and space technologies
• Enabling secure, scalable, and mission-ready software delivery
• Building a high-performance culture centered around collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement

As a DevSecOps Engineer, you will play a central role in enabling secure and scalable mission-critical platforms. You will automate and optimize development and operational environments, design resilient container-based infrastructures, and contribute to ensuring that Saab’s digital capabilities remain robust, secure, and operationally available under demanding conditions.

You will work closely with developers, platform teams, security specialists, and operational stakeholders to enable modern software delivery pipelines and cloud-native capabilities that support Saab’s future operational systems.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Explore, designing and operating all from secure commercial cloud technologies to air gapped technologies with a primary focus on secure public, private, and hybrid cloud platforms out to the edge.
• Building and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines to enable rapid, reliable, and secure software delivery
• Collaborating across DevSecOps and platform engineering teams to proactively identify, analyze, and resolve system vulnerabilities and operational issues
• Monitoring, optimizing, and hardening system performance to ensure scalability, resilience, and high availability
• Developing secure and reproducible infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) technologies such as Terraform and Ansible
• Supporting the implementation of modern cloud-native and edge-based operational environments
• Contributing to operational readiness through documentation, automation, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement
• Advising and supporting internal and external stakeholders on secure deployment and operation of containerized workloads and runtimes

You will be part of the Cloud Enablement & Runtime department within Common Tech - a specialized team driving strategic technology capabilities, platform enablement, and modern engineering practices supporting Saab’s long-term operational and digital transformation objectives.

Your profile

You are an experienced Platform Engineer and/or DevSecOps professional with a strong interest in modern mission-critical technologies and operationally resilient systems.
