Swedish occupational insurance provider managing €19B for 4.5M covered workers
AFA Försäkring is a non-profit occupational insurer serving Swedish employment sectors (private industry, municipalities, regions) with 4.5 million covered individuals. The tech stack reflects a financial services operation modernizing core infrastructure: React + TypeScript on the frontend, Azure cloud, and deep integrations with SimCorp Dimension and Bloomberg for capital and portfolio management. Current hiring focus is engineering-heavy (3 of 8 active roles) weighted toward senior levels, and projects cluster around two pain points—automating compliance controls and digitalizing accounting systems—indicating active platform consolidation rather than new feature development.
AFA Försäkring provides occupational insurance across sickness, work injury, unemployment, death, and parental leave, mandated through Swedish collective bargaining agreements. The organization covers approximately 4 million individuals in private enterprise, public administration, and healthcare sectors. Founded in 1997 and owned by Svenskt Näringsliv, LO, and PTK, it operates as a non-profit entity managing roughly 200 billion SEK in reserves. The company employs approximately 650 staff and distributes benefits proactively to eligible claimants while funding workplace health and safety research.
