Swedish national transport authority managing roads, rail, maritime, and aviation infrastructure
Trafikverket is Sweden's government transport agency overseeing planning, construction, and maintenance of national road and rail networks. The tech stack is enterprise Windows/.NET/SQL (Visual Studio, SQL Server, Azure DevOps), with container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker) and observability tooling (Elasticsearch, Zabbix) in active use. Engineering-heavy hiring (157 roles) targeting mid-level talent signals scaling of digital operations and infrastructure automation; concurrent projects around monitoring competency centers and container adoption suggest internal modernization of legacy systems running critical transport data.
