Government defense authority managing military operations, personnel, and critical infrastructure across Sweden
Swedish Armed Forces operates as a large-scale government agency with over 10,000 employees across military and civilian functions. The tech stack reflects dual engineering and operational demands: enterprise systems (SAP, Microsoft 365, ArcGIS, ECDIS) paired with specialized defense tools (Satcom, Palo Alto Firepower), and a hiring surge weighted heavily toward ops (269 roles) and security (224 roles) suggests active modernization of command systems, network infrastructure, and compliance frameworks—reinforced by adoption of SAFe and active projects around UAV implementation, next-generation command support systems, and communication infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Head training section, Head instructor, Training Department Head, deputy department head, Technical System Lead
