Senior Software Engineer (GRC)

About the role & The team

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) team. In this role, you aren’t just building features; you are driving the architectural integrity of our core compliance engine. You will handle the most complex technical challenges of our platform, ensuring our GRC patterns are robust enough for global scale while acting as a key technical sparring partner for the rest of the team.

Our team is curious, open and supportive. You'll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and challenge existing ways of working. At Formalize, we believe in learning by doing, and you'll have the chance to grow through collaboration, mentorship and meaningful projects that stretch your skills.

This role starts at 62,000 DKK per month and can grow up to 72,000 DKK as you develop. You’ll be part of our structured career framework, which includes regular performance reviews. As you build skills, take on new responsibilities and progress in your role, your salary grows with you. Our framework makes development clear and transparent, so you always know what the next step looks like.

What you will do

• Implement complex GRC workflows, ensuring our compliance engine remains flexible, secure, and performant when handling intricate regulatory requirements.

• Develop logic-heavy features for risk management and governance modules that serve as the scalable foundation of our entire platform.

• Act as a key technical sparring partner, providing high-level feedback during code reviews and helping troubleshoot deep-seated technical issues.

• Ensure code reliability and performance through advanced testing and by maintaining a high standard for long-term system maintainability.

• Collaborate across Engineering, Product, and Design to evaluate feature feasibility and define the most efficient technical implementations.

• Proactively resolve technical debt, identifying and improving structural weaknesses within our compliance logic.

Our tech stack

• PHP with Laravel

• Angular 21 (embracing signals, but heavy use of RxJS)

Not an expert in our entire stack? No problem. At Formalize, we value curiosity and a willingness to learn. With solid fundamentals and the right mindset, we will help you grow the rest.

What you bring

• Professional experience in a Software Engineering role, building and maintaining scalable web applications in a production environment.

• The ability to discuss technical solutions clearly and participate actively in team-wide technical sessions.

• Experience with at least one server-side language (we work with PHP) and a modern frontend framework (we use Angular).

• Direct experience with Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and the ability to produce clean, maintainable, and well-structured code.

• Good testing practices and familiarity with automated testing frameworks.

• The ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly, provide high-level feedback to colleagues and participate effectively in technical discovery.

What do we offer you?

• Thorough pre- and onboarding to set you up for success

• A culture of ownership, trust, and independence with the support you need

• Continuous development through bi-annual growth talks and weekly check-ins
