Principal Engineer -Public Edge Infrastructure

Principal Engineer -Public Edge InfrastructureJob detailsEngineeringStockholm, MilanFull-timekr 1,076,536 SEK - kr 1,248,781 SEK**What you will do*** Work as a hands-on Principal Engineer and own Klarna’s public edge architecture — the global entrypoint for all customer and partner traffic.* Design and build the next-generation edge platform that public services rely on for secure, reliable, low-latency traffic handling.* Define how services are exposed, secured, routed, and monitored at the edge — and implement the core patterns in production code.* Design and implement the technical foundation for migrating 500+ production public endpoints to a scalable and secure model. For example: building reusable patterns so services can be made globally available with minimal custom configuration.* Own and evolve edge security using AWS CloudFront and AWS WAF, defining secure-by-default patterns aligned with OWASP principles. For example: bot mitigation, rate limiting, and protection against common web attacks while keeping latency low.* Simplify traffic flows and reduce architectural complexity at scale. For example: enabling more direct edge-to-service communication paths.* Design and implement clear observability patterns for public infrastructure. For example: making it easy to understand how public entrypoints behave and how they relate to backend services.* Build AI-assisted developer tooling that embeds edge standards directly into workflows. For example: using coding agents and reusable Claude-based skills to help teams migrate endpoints safely.* Lead through engineering — write production code, ship core components, and set standards through working implementations.**Who you are*** A deeply hands-on expert in public or edge infrastructure with strong experience in AWS CloudFront and AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF).* You have personally designed and built large-scale, customer-facing systems operating at significant traffic levels.* You have led architectural change by building reference implementations and enabling others to follow.* You have strong TypeScript mastery and write production-grade infrastructure code and tooling in TypeScript (AWS CDK), with high standards for abstraction design and maintainability.* You understand global traffic management, caching, TLS, routing, distributed system failure modes, and performance trade-offs.* You have strong knowledge of web security fundamentals (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and experience applying edge protections such as bot mitigation and rate limiting.* You are comfortable making architectural decisions with long-term impact and balancing security, performance, cost, and developer experience.* You enjoy building systems yourself and reducing complexity through well-designed abstractions.**Awesome to have*** Experience with frontend engineering and modern frameworks such as React, especially in performance-sensitive environments.* Strong knowledge of web performance optimization, including caching strategies and improving time-to-first-byte.* Experience with edge execution or serverless request-handling models.* Experience building AI-assisted developer tooling or automation systems.* Experience defining infrastructure patterns adopted across multiple teams.* Experience with other large-scale CDN or edge platforms such as Cloudflare, Fastly, or Akamai.Please include a CV in English.
