We are looking for a talented and motivated staff engineer to join our Visualization area within the platform cluster. Our team plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality car visualizations across various platforms, including the car configurator, website, marketing materials, and more.

• Build the Future: Architect, design, develop, and operate the systems that power car visualizations at Volvo Cars and beyond.
• Set Strategic Direction: Be the expert in your field, providing strategic leadership and direction within the organization.
• Mentor and Inspire: Act as a mentor and role model, fostering growth and development among senior engineers and leaders.
• Champion Engineering Best Practices: Promote sound engineering principles while driving our technical strategy and roadmaps.
• Lead by Example: Be an active and inspiring leader within the company-wide engineering community.
• Never Stop Learning: Demonstrate an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and continuous self-improvement.
• Share Your Expertise: Elevate others by sharing your knowledge—organize lunch-and-learns, publish your thoughts on blogs, represent Volvo Cars at conferences and meetups, and more.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven Technical Leadership: Extensive experience as a technical leader in a large organization, with a history of guiding teams through significant transformations.
• Hands-On Expertise: Solid experience as a Senior Software Engineer in an agile environment, particularly with .NET Core, C#, and Azure—and a continued passion for coding when time allows.
• Collaborative Spirit: A collaborative mindset, eager to work closely with engineering, product, and UX leaders to create exceptional products.
• Growth Mindset: A strong advocate for continuous learning and growth, both for yourself and those around you.
• Mentorship Passion: A genuine passion for mentoring and supporting fellow engineers and teams, helping them reach their full potential.
• Commitment to Quality: A deep understanding of the importance of scalable, sustainable, and architecturally sound solutions, with a dedication to delivering high-quality code.
• Adaptability and Judgement: The ability to navigate ambiguity with confidence and make sound decisions when needed.
• Empathetic Leadership: A compassionate approach to leadership, adapting your style to meet the unique needs of individuals and situations.
