About Klarna

Klarna was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2005. Since then we've changed the banking

industry forever. And now we're creating the world's smoothest shopping experience. We

serve over 90 million consumers worldwide, and partner with 250,000 merchants – with a

new merchant joining us every 8 minutes. Including some of the world's leading brands, such

as H&M, ASOS, IKEA, Adidas, Samsung and Lufthansa. Our offices are spread over 17

different markets, hosted by 5000+ employees from 100+ nationalities.

Engineering at Klarna is an inspired, customer focused community, dedicated to crafting

solutions that redefine our industry. Working in small, highly collaborative Agile teams, you

and your team will have a clear mission and ownership of an important outcome that

supports Klarna and our customers. At Klarna we optimise for quality, flow, fast feedback,

focussing on end-to-end ownership, continuous improvement, testing, monitoring and

experimentation. We aim for teams that are inclusive, helpful, and have a strong sense of

ownership for the things they build.

At Klarna we strive to deliver market leading, secure, high-quality, and compliant products

that everyone loves developing, and customers love using. With a banking license and

operating in the financial industry in several regions, Klarna is naturally highly regulated.

Regardless, we strive to build the smooothest experience possible, for both our customers

and employees.

We are looking for a number of Information Security Officers who will work within the

business as experts and responsible points of contact for security matters within their

domain.
