Curity team at work

We know that applying for a new job can often feel overwhelming and intimidating, we feel you and have all been there.

And rest assured, if you get by the first few gates, it’ll be very easy and welcoming by the end.

You do these online, at a time that suits you, from the comfort of your own chair, standing up, in a café or wherever you choose. Please note that once you have started a test you can’t pause it, so make sure you have enough time to complete each test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you help me relocate to Sweden?
Probably not because it's not really needed; if you want to move to Sweden though, we will discuss the possibility with you.
Do I need to move to Sweden?
That is your choice and decision. We hire the best people wherever they live. You work where you are productive and in the country where you are hired.
Do I have to travel to Sweden a lot?
Every so often, we bring together the various teams in Stockholm, Sweden. These trips are always optional but encouraged. We try to meet at the office to discuss face-to-face, plan, and have a little fun.
Will you sponsor me to get a work visa?
Not right now. If, however, you are already located in Europe and only need your existing visa changed to state us as your employer, that is OK.
Can I work as a consultant for Curity instead of being an employee?
No. We believe in insourcing not outsourcing. We are striving to build a team of individuals that love working together to improve their craft and skill, people that will work together for many years. We believe employment is the ideal setup to achieve this goal.
Why do you want my salary expectations in my local currency?
All the terms, conditions, and currency of your employment will be according to local conditions, even if the employer is a Swedish company. Meaning, we have to pay taxes, social security, etc. to the authorities where you live. That will be done in the currency used in your country, so for a complete and accurate picture we need your salary in the local currency.
What benefits do you provide?
The short answer is, it depends. All staff observe the holidays in their own countries, and you will be given the equipment you need to do your job. Other benefits depend on your location, position, and your particular situation.
Do you require a lot of overtime?
No. You will typically work full-time, meaning 40 hours / week. This can be flexed as well (though this may require you to be treated as a privileged employee under your country’s employment laws.) During a hectic period (e.g., before a release), you may be asked to work some evenings or a Saturday. Having to work longer though will typically depend on you. If you’re productive, 40 hours will be plenty to get your things done.
Why do you ask for a formal university degree? It’s so “old school”!
We believe in the value of such an education. Many positions at Curity require a lot of theoretical knowledge. A college degree also shows grit, determination, maturity, and stick-with-it-ness. A degree tells us that you know the fundamentals and helps us to relax knowing that we probably haven’t assessed you incorrectly during the interview process. We do recognize that some people can focus on fundamentals even if they are self-taught. It’s rare, but possible. If you are one of those, please don’t hesitate to apply.
I can’t find an open role that’s right for me. What do I do?
You can call us or email us at job@curity.io. Don’t forget to mention your interest in us and share an up-to-date resume and a description of what you think you can and want to contribute with! Describe your dream job, the skills you want to use, the job in general, and why you are leaving your current job. We might not have a spot for you right now, but it would be great to meet you and know of your interests for future opportunities.
Will I be helped with my personal development?
Absolutely. We can help in the form of conference attendance, master degree tuition aid, book purchases/subscriptions, online training course, etc. We’re very open and eager to help you grow as a professional. When you’re at your full potential, we’re at ours!
