What you will do

We are looking for an experienced full stack developer with tech lead qualities to join the Material Information management team, mainly working with software engineering and support of several web-based applications and services. This includes work with a customized off-the-shelf product called MaterialCenter provided by Hexagon that enables management of material information but there are also needs and opportunities to build other applications and integrations related to the domain outside of MC.

You get to join one of several cross-functional product teams who work continuously on delivering new features and support for applications. You will join forces on exciting challenges ahead, enabling Volvo Cars to design more sustainable cars through insights based on material and substance data from a technical, infrastructure, process, and support perspective.

You and your skills

You are an experienced software engineer with a genuine drive to solve problems and have a servant mindset in the team. You have designed enough systems in the past to feel comfortable working on a new application alone as well as jumping into an existing full stack code base.

You nurture a psychologically safe, social and inspiring team culture. You support other members when they need help, and you ask for support when you need help. You will also drive improvement together with the team and the system architect. You will also be expected to take part in interviews during recruitment activities. 

You are passionate about what you do and focused on delivering business value. You should have a genuine interest in keeping yourself updated on best practices, know and care about sound engineering like the single responsibility principle, automated testing and maintaining code hygiene. Due to the nature of the material domain it’s also important to understand how our stakeholders work and how to support their work with material testing, CAE simulation and environmental impact. Previous experience within these domains or a genuine interest will be highly valued.
