Software: fuel for mobility

We bring bold digital visions to life. So we’re on the lookout for more curious and creative engineers who want to create change – one line of high-quality code at a time. Our transformation isn't for everyone, but if you're excited about solving the leading-edge technological challenges facing the auto industry, then let’s talk about your next move.

Would you like to influence and craft the technical strategy that helps Volvo Cars to grow and reach our goal of being an electric car company by 2030? Excellent, then we would like you to join our Commercial Digital (CD) and Select & Shop area as a Staff Engineer!

Select & Shop encompasses the entire process our customers go through when searching for, configuring, and exploring offers for both our cars and non-car products across various markets. We support our customers in making the best decisions by helping them find products that meet their needs.

We’re looking for someone that will help us craft a technical architecture and strategy that spans across multiple product clusters, and drive technical initiatives with our neighboring areas of Volvo Cars.

We have only just begun this journey in earnest and you’ll be joining us at a time where you can really have a great impact and help us set the tone for the next chapter in our company's history! This position is located out of our office in Stockholm or Gothenburg.

What you’ll do:

• Offer technical leadership within Commercial Digital (CD) and contribute to initiatives that involve collaboration with neighboring departments and key stakeholders.
• Chip into the overall product vision and strategy, and advise and guide senior leaders in technical matters.
• Contribute to the architecture, design, development, and deployment of front-end systems and applications that are central to Volvo Cars' data-driven transformation and beyond.
• Be a guide in your particular field and a go-to person for setting strategic directions within it.
• Be a mentor and role model for other senior engineers in the organization.
• Encourage sound engineering practices while driving our technical strategy and roadmaps.
• Be a doer and inspiring leader in the company-wide engineering community.
• Demonstrate and champion an appetite for knowledge and never stop developing as an Engineer and leader.
• Share your knowledge to help others grow by being visible and e.g. coordinate lunch-and-learns, publish your thoughts on external and internal blogs, represent Volvo Cars on external conferences and meetups, etc.

Who you are:

• An individual with extensive proven experience as a technical leader (formal or informal) in front-end development and UX within a large organization.
• Someone that has solid previous experience in working hands-on as a Senior Software Engineer in an agile environment, and still love doing it (when time allows).
• A person that enjoys collaborating with all levels of engineering-, product- and UX leaders to build outstanding products.
• You fully adopt a growth mindset and can encourage others to do the same.
• You get a kick out of mentoring and supporting your fellow engineers and teams, so they can grow to their full potential.
• You understand the importance of having a solution that is scalable, sustainable, architecturally sound; you care about quality and you know what it means to ship high quality code.
• You can comfortably navigate ambiguity and when required have the ability to exercise good judgment and decision-making.
• A compassionate person who understands that every individual and situation has their specific needs and can adapt your leadership style and interactions accordingly.
• Someone who likes to have fun at work and take great care in making sure everyone always feels welcome and included.
• Having an interest in electric vehicles, along with the software and technology surrounding them, is considered a strong advantage.

We offer our employees excellent benefits such as:

• At Volvo Car Group, all new parents with one year’s active permanent service now receive 24 weeks of parental leave, paid at 80 percent of their base pay. The policy is for everyone – whether you’re a designer or a plant operator, whether you work in Sweden, China, or the USA.
