Do you want to help shape the future digital infrastructure in one of Sweden's most forward-leaning municipalities? We are now seeking a driven IT Architect with deep understanding of modern infrastructure and operations in a complex system landscape with multiple system providers.
The role involves total ownership of the city's infrastructure issues, with a special focus on our integration platform.
About Us
Solna City is one of Sweden's most expansive and dynamic municipalities. Digitalization and IT permeate our entire operation – from schools and care to properties and urban development. At the IT department, we are 25 engaged colleagues who, together with our operations and system partners, create a stable, secure, and flexible IT platform that enables the city's continued digital journey. We are centrally located in Solna center, close to operations and decision-making. Here, you will get both responsibility, scope for action, and opportunity to influence – in an environment where technology, innovation, and social benefit converge.
A few words from recruiting manager Pierre Ahlby
"Here, it's not just about technology – it's about creating trust, collaboration, and forward movement. We are looking for someone who wants to take responsibility for the whole, drive improvements, and build structure in a complex and exciting environment. Here you will have the freedom to influence the path forward, in a team where ideas become reality and where development is a natural part of everyday life."

- Opportunity for remote work when work allows.
- Health and wellness contribution, vacation exchange, and pension salary exchange.
- A team that supports each other and where ideas make an impact.
What Does the Role Involve?
As an IT Architect with us, you will have a central and strategic role. You will work across business, operations partners, and system providers, driving improvements, modernization, and new establishment of our IT architecture. You are responsible for ensuring our infrastructure services are future-proof, robust, and effectively interact with the organization's systems.

Who Are You?
You are a structured, curious, and communicative IT Architect who thrives at the intersection of strategy and technology. You have in-depth technical knowledge of infrastructure and integration solutions, and you enjoy taking initiative and driving things to completion together with others.
- Relevant university education or equivalent experience.
- Experience with infrastructure architecture and complex IT environments.
- Ability to drive issues with external operations partners and providers.
- Knowledge of integration architecture, preferably with experience in BPMN & low-code.
