Job Description

Senior Backend Engineer – Cloud and Mobile Wallet

Build technology that powers next-generation hotel access.

Your work won’t sit quietly in a backlog. It will shape contactless mobile key solutions used around the world — and you’ll have the trust and freedom to do your best work along the way.

Why this role matters

At ASSA ABLOY, technology plays a direct role in creating a safer, more open world As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll be part of a team building cloud‑driven services that provide smartphone-enabled hotel door access for global hotel chains.

This is a role for someone who wants to own meaningful problems, contribute to technical direction, and work in an environment where quality, collaboration, and long-term thinking genuinely matter.

The role

You’ll take end-to-end ownership of features for our mobile wallet initiative, from early technical design through to production and continuous improvement. Working closely with product managers, architects, and fellow engineers, you’ll help turn complex requirements into secure, scalable solutions.

You’ll be trusted to challenge assumptions, surface risks early, and make sound technical decisions — bringing calm, pragmatism, and clarity to complex engineering discussions.

What you’ll work on

  • Deliver meaningful backend features end-to-end — design, build, test, deploy, and evolve cloud-native services.
  • Build modern, scalable systems — primarily in Java or Kotlin, collaborating with frontend engineers on mobile wallet integration
  • Shape architecture and technical direction — apply event-driven patterns, CQRS, and secure cloud design principles.
  • Lead cloud-native development — design and operate services on AWS, leveraging CI/CD pipelines and automation tools.
  • Monitor and maintain system performance, reliability, and security for distributed applications.
  • Collaborate with international partners and hotel brands to deliver industry-leading solutions.

What will help you succeed

  • Solid experience (5+ years) building backend systems in cloud-native, distributed environments.
  • Strong ownership mindset — comfortable taking features from idea to production.
  • Hands-on cloud and DevOps experience — particularly AWS, CI/CD, and deployment automation.
  • First experience in Kotlin or strong willingness to learn; familiarity with frontend integration is a plus.
  • Collaborative, proactive communicator who thrives in agile, cross-functional teams.

Why ASSA ABLOY

At ASSA ABLOY, you’ll join a global organisation with a distinctly Scandinavian approach to work : trust over control, clarity over noise, and people over process.

  • Meaningful mission — Your software enables secure, contactless hotel experiences worldwide, improving both guest safety and operational efficiency.
  • Innovation at scale — Work with mobile wallet technology, cloud services, and IoT in collaboration with leading partners like Apple and Google.
  • Autonomy and trust — Make decisions, influence design, and own your work from idea to impact.
  • Growth and development — Deepen technical expertise, learn continuously, and explore opportunities across teams and borders.
  • Work–life balance — Flexible working, hybrid options, and a culture that supports sustainable performance.
