Järfälla kommun, Sweden
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Wikner is an engineering manager with 10 years of hands-on experience building and leading teams across e-commerce and ad-tech, currently driving engineering at Avanza Bank from Järfälla, Sweden. He blends a developer’s mindset with staff responsibilities, having transitioned teams to scalable, serverless microservices on AWS and led cross-organizational technical projects such as MatHem’s integration with Kronans Apotek. Erik has repeatedly taken teams through agile transformations and scaling phases—from continuous delivery efforts at Daniel Wellington to managing distributed squads including offshore members at Bannerflow. He pairs practical backend skills (Node.js, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway) with a focus on team growth and group leadership (UGL-trained), making him as comfortable in code reviews as in salary reviews and recruitment. A detail that stands out: he still prefers to stay “close to the tech,” contributing code while owning delivery and people outcomes.
