Engineer
Pubblicato il 09-10-2026 - Klarna in Milano
At Klarna, we're building an everyday finance network, helping over 120 million consumers across 26 countries save time and money, and worry less about their finances. Working here means taking on problems most companies never get to solve, and being hands-on enough that the interesting part of the work lands with you, not someone else — you'll build with AI, not watch it happen.
This is the stretch zone. Come find out what you're capable of.
About The Role
Being an engineer at Klarna means building and owning the systems that move money for millions of people — and that responsibility doesn't end when those systems ship. Your team and your focus can also change as the business changes, and the domain you join may look different in a year.
We are searching for someone whose work is already ahead of where their experience says it should be - that means we care more about what you've built than how long you've been building. We want to hear about a problem you spotted yourself and then solved.
What You'll Do
- Own real production code from day one.
- Take a problem that's vaguely defined, ask the questions that sharpen it, and come back with something working rather than something planned.
- Learn a large unfamiliar codebase faster than feels comfortable, and be the person who then documents the part nobody had written down.
- Make small decisions well and say what you decided against - the habit matters more at this stage than the size of the decision.
- Use AI as a working method rather than a demo, and know why the output is right before you ship it.
- Ask for review, act on it, and give it back. The engineers here will spend time on you; the trade is that you use it.
Who you are
- You've built things beyond what a course, a job description or an assignment required, and you can talk about why you chose to.
- You learn fast and you can show it - something you knew nothing about six months ago that you're now the go-to person for.
- You can explain a system yo
