Job Introduction
Handelsbanken combines a long-established relationship banking model with secure, resilient, and customer-focused technology. Our technology teams enable the Bank’s decentralised way of working, delivering systems built for stability, trust, and long-term value.
We are on a multi-year technology and digital transformation journey to enhance customer experience and improve how colleagues work together. By modernising platforms, simplifying processes, and better connecting data and systems, we help relationship teams focus on customers and less on complexity.
Our decentralised culture extends to technology. Teams are trusted to take ownership, make informed decisions, and deliver sustainable, high-quality solutions. We value engineering excellence, pragmatic problem-solving, and strong collaboration across technology, business, and risk.
We offer technologists the opportunity to build lasting careers, deepen their expertise, and contribute to meaningful change. We look for people who care about quality, security, long-term impact, and who want to shape the future of a relationship-led bank.

The opportunity
We have a requirement for an experienced and enthusiastic SQL Developer (day rate contractor) with good experience in Microsoft technologies. The successful candidate will join a small IT team (13 people, split between infrastructure and development) supporting the Wealth and Asset Management division of the Bank.
This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who wishes to move into the wealth and investment management sector, joining a positive and dynamic team in which they will have every chance to pick up new skills, demonstrate their talent and make a significant contribution to the smooth operation of the business.
Key responsibilities
The SQL developer will support the Wealth and Asset Management division’s multiple programs and systems including third-party applications and in-house developed systems. The role involves working closely with business analysts, the infrastructure team and the business in understanding critical issues, and in implementing robust and timely break-fixes. When needed they should be adept in gathering solution requirements, formulating technical designs and in implementing that design in an iterative development environment. Though the position will focus on the Microsoft technologies the successful candidate will be expected to ‘pitch-in’ in helping progress other development requirements.
