Sweden's tax authority modernizing legacy systems with cloud-native architecture and AI
Skatteverket is a 10,000-person government agency modernizing its technology foundation to support tax administration, public health funding, infrastructure, and economic-crime investigation. The tech stack reveals a significant infrastructure transition: OpenShift and Denodo adoption, alongside Java/Spring Boot and SQL backends, points toward containerization and data virtualization to replace monolithic systems. Active hiring in engineering (37 roles) and security (17 roles) reflects the scale of this digital transformation, while projects like system renewal, modern architecture development, and AI solutions for information handling show the agency is not just maintaining legacy systems but actively rebuilding.
