About Klarna

Klarna was founded in Stockholm in 2005 with the idea to simplify buying. Today, we're one of Europe’s fastest growing companies. In 2014 we joined forces with SOFORT and formed Klarna Group, the leading European payment provider.

Klarna Group has more than 1,500 employees and is active on 18 markets. We serve 60 million consumers and work with 70,000 merchants. Our goal is to become the world’s favorite way to buy.

Position

We’re growing several Scala-based engineering domains here at Klarna, including:

• Payments, where we use pure functional programming to build payment gateways and card issuing capabilities into our products
• Servicing, where we process millions of events daily in order to manage and visualise the lifecycle of balances. We have a range of problems and some are best solved using FP, whilst others suit an OOP style

You should get in touch with us if you would enjoy:

• Sharpening your skills, programming in a functional manner using libraries over frameworks
• Writing pure functional services using Scala and modern libraries in the Cats family
• Working with the entire lifecycle of a service, from writing application code and tests to deploying it to production and supporting it
• Working as a team; we respect and support each other, and we practise agile methodologies including pair and mob programming
• Working with devops, deploying code multiple times a day using automated pipelines
• Learning and succeeding in fields you haven’t worked in before

• Culture - You'll have an opportunity to work with people from 42 different countries in our English-speaking office in Stockholm city centre
