Umbraco backend developer for web platform in Azure

Are you interested in taking co-responsibility for the operation and web development for all citizens and businesses in Denmark and becoming part of the team that maintains and further develops the Tax Administration and Growth Ministry's websites? Then you might be our new colleague.

Our office

The Office of Digital Channels has 25 employees and is located in the Development and Simplification Agency (UFST), which is part of the Tax Administration. We work with IT solutions for the entire Taxation and Growth Ministry group and thereby deliver solutions to all citizens and businesses in Denmark.

In our office we are responsible for the operation and development of the Digital Experience Platform (DOP), on which more than 15 ministerial websites are hosted, including skat.dk, which has over 30 million visits annually.

We have moved from a self-developed CMS to a new platform in Azure with Umbraco and APIs in a headless frontend setup. We work agile, team-based and after a DevOps mindset. We mainly use Microsoft Tech Stack and Azure Devops (ADO). Other coding languages may also occur.

You will join a team of 8 with high professionalism, consisting of frontend and backend developers, an analyst, tester/test manager, SCRUM master and a deputy manager. We also have external developers attached to our team. In addition, the office consists of a team with UX specialists and business-facing colleagues. We have a strong focus on delivering value to our customers in the Tax Administration's group as well as to citizens and businesses.
