Senior Security & Identity Engineer

Jakob Lind
Engineer with 17 years building secure, high-availability systems across banking, telecom, and payments.
My core experience is in digital identity and security infrastructure — I've designed and built PKI systems, integrated national eIDs (BankID, NemID, Buypass), built SAML-based SSO solutions from scratch, and worked on registration authority systems for certificate management. At Nets I spent three years deep in security-critical applications for Nordic digital identity.
Currently at Aera Payment & Identification — a small, senior team owning the platform for payment security and transaction signing. Previously led a team of five at Telia and worked as a senior engineer at DnB on dnb.no and AWS infrastructure — always with a focus on robust code, modern infrastructure, and pragmatic technical decisions.
MSc in Networks & Distributed Systems from Chalmers University of Technology.
