Senior Software Engineer

Stockholm, SE

Why look for a job when you can look for a purpose?

A job with purpose is more than just a job. After all, your next move determines your everyday life. So what about creating positive change? What about impacting your future and that of millions of others in ways you may never have imagined. Curious? We hope so.

What you’ll do

The Car Sharing cluster at Volvo Cars consists of five agile teams that develop the car sharing service Volvo On Demand, giving customers flexible access to cars. Using the power of our proprietary AI-supported mobility platform and modern technologies, we’re part of shaping sustainable cities by reducing the number of cars and enabling more people to move freely, meaningfully, and sustainably.

As an engineer in the Car Sharing cluster you will have a lot of space to influence not only what we build, but also how we work. In this position you will support the other engineers in the cluster with having the right environment, processes, and tools in place to be able to be as efficient as possible in their day-to-day work, as well as improving our general technical platform to enhance our cloud infrastructure. Our infra is modern and relatively streamlined, so it might not take up all your time and you will then be able to contribute in one of the product teams with app, web or backend development (depending on your background).

What you’ll bring

We are looking for an engineer who has experience and interest both as a cloud engineer as well as a software engineer (either backend, web or app development). You have a product mindset, you understand the needs of the product teams and you like to collaborate with other engineers to find the best solutions for our platform. You thrive in an agile and collaborative environment and you like to be part of the whole product development cycle from ideation to code in production.

You can orient yourself in all but are strong in at least a couple of these areas

• Backend (we use Kotlin), web (we use React with Next.js) or app development (iOS or Android)
• Platforms such as Kubernetes, Docker, Cloud (GCP preferably, but AWS or Azure is also relevant), and its architecture
• CI/CD pipelines (we use CircleCI and Github Actions)
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with tools like Terraform – develop and practice Disaster Recovery
• Monitoring tools (we use DataDog and ElasticSearch)
• Distributed systems at scale
• Security topics

This is Volvo On Demand

Our mission is to enable more people to move – freely, meaningfully, and sustainably. Volvo On Demand is a convenient car sharing service that provides you with access to Volvo cars when needed – from an hour to a weekend, a week, or on a month-by-month basis. Instead of owning or renting a car, you can easily book and use a Volvo through our app.

Already today, every shared car from Volvo On Demand removes up to 11 privately owned cars from our cities’ streets. If more people are driving fewer cars, we’ll have cleaner air and more urban space for playgrounds instead of parking lots.
