Swedish government agency protecting society from radiation hazards
Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten (SSM) is Sweden's radiation safety regulator, operating a .NET/C#/SQL Server stack typical of public-sector digital infrastructure built for stability over novelty. The hiring mix—engineering-heavy (8 engineers across 21 open roles) with equal research staffing—reflects dual operational pressure: modernizing legacy e-service platforms while scaling subject-matter expertise in nuclear analysis and radioactive waste management. Pain points around orphan radiation sources and emergency response suggest active gaps between regulatory mandate and operational capacity.
SSM is a Swedish government agency founded in 2008, employing over 300 staff focused on radiation protection and nuclear safety. Based in Stockholm, the organization works to prevent harmful radiation exposure to people and the environment. The agency maintains an international network, collaborating with bodies like the ICRP and IAEA. Core operations span regulation development, monitoring, nuclear analysis, and long-term radioactive waste management strategy. Current hiring focuses on engineering roles for e-service modernization and research positions to deepen institutional knowledge in nuclear safety and waste handling.
Primary stack: C#, .NET, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, Entity Framework. Frontend: TypeScript, React, HTML5, SCSS. DevOps: Azure DevOps, Git. UI components via Telerik and Kendo UI.
Active initiatives include: e-service platform modernization, nuclear analysis capability development, radioactive waste handling knowledge and procedures, regulation updates for waste management, and external monitoring investigations.
