Product Marketing Engineer, Sweden

As a Product Marketing Engineer, I touch upon many different technologies and questions, high and low. I find it super exciting to be able to publish plugins and examples for different programming languages and frameworks along with accompanying tutorials. I really enjoy spreading the word about the great technologies on earth by writing high-level articles about protocols and standards.

My background

I have always been a curious person who is eager to learn more. After high school I decided to sign up for a program about information security at university because I predicted that as a security professional, I can satisfy my cravings for knowledge by keeping up with the ever-changing landscape. I believed (and still do) that security is a critical element of the future of IT. I’ve been lucky enough to work with very skilled people over the years who taught me a lot more about identity, which only increased my interest and gave me a push to look closer at this area as my professional field.

Having started my working life as a developer, I had moved on to being a security engineer and consultant when I first met the Curity team. Our paths crossed again when I was looking for the next step in my career. The opportunity to combine my interest in security and identity with the new challenge of being a Product Marketing Engineer (PME) where I can explore many aspects of identity while sharing my findings with others felt like the perfect fit for me.

My Curity story

With great people comes a great product. We have a diverse and open-minded culture at Curity, and you can even see that in our contribution to different open source projects. Curity is simply a great place to work where we care about the product and the people.

Taking the step into the PME role turned out to be the right choice. Using my knowledge and experience to help tell a story to our customers and the wider community is fun, and I have learned a lot. For example, I have learned that marketing can be more than just nice words and pics :) On a more serious note, I enjoy creating tutorials, articles, videos and other tools for our users.

What I like most about working at Curity is my colleagues and the team spirit - supporting, challenging, always respectful, open-minded and professional.

Work / Life

Working part-time, I enjoy the opportunity to choose between going to the office and working from home. Not having to commute every day saves me a lot of time, but once a week I get to meet colleagues and socialize.

Having the opportunity to work from home as much as it suits me really helps me balance work with private life. I feel like I can accomplish my tasks at work and still be there for my family.

In my free time

On sunny days I enjoy being outdoors in the garden and watching the plants grow. On dark days I find pleasure in crawling under a blanket on the sofa with a hot cup of tea and a good book.
