Backend Software Engineer | Telia Play

We’re looking for a mid-level to senior Backend Software Engineer to join us at Telia Play.

I’m Tomas Brimor , Engineering Manager at Telia Play , and I’m searching for someone ready to grow with us. We’re a small, supportive, forward-thinking backend team of around 6–8 engineers focused on building and operating the metadata platform behind the viewing experience for nearly 2 million subscribers across the Nordics . We work extensively with AI-assisted development and are building agentic AI in production. These are agents that work with our real services and workflows, not just prototypes.

What you’ll do: You’ll help decide how solutions are built, from design through production. Our platform assembles complete, accurate records from many partial sources and processes nearly half a million events daily, with peak days exceeding 2 million.

• Build and evolve our metadata platform , from ingestion and enrichment to APIs and near real-time distribution.
• Own solutions end to end : understand the problem, shape the approach, implement, test, deploy, and keep improving them in production.
• Contribute to technical decisions , balancing delivery, reliability, security, cost, and maintainability.
• Work across backend services and AWS infrastructure, including deployment pipelines, runtimes, and observability. We follow "you build it, you run it", with support from teammates and specialist cloud/DevOps colleagues. On-call is available for those who want it but is not required .
• Build agentic AI capabilities for our platform and workflows, and make them reliable, secure, and useful in practice.
• Use AI-assisted development throughout your work, applying your engineering judgment to validate the results and owning what you ship.
