Are you a Software Engineer that wants to work with one of the fashion industry’s biggest tech transformations and create state of the art solutions to make an impact on a global scale? Do you have the ability to lead a team of like-minded Software Engineers, mentor and grow their capabilities and lead by example? Then this is the opportunity for you!


Job Description


As Competence Lead/Software Engineer at H&M you will have dual focus – staff responsibility and hands-on coding. You will also act as the employer's extended arm – to follow and implement H&M Group's vision, goals, strategies and values, as well as acting as an ambassador always supporting your employees.
What will you do?
As a Competence Lead you will have staff responsibility for employees within the same/adjacent competence as your own, working in different product teams within the same product area. Your staff responsibility goes across different Product Teams and tasks include development conversations, salary review and other staff related activities. You will support, coach and help your team members grow and develop.
You will work closely with the product owners within the product area, as well as other competence leads, software engineers and business experts. You will be able to try out your creative and innovative ideas – and have a large impact on how we shape the future of fashion retail logistics.
We asked one of our Competence Leads what a normal day could look like, this is what she told us:
“A normal day starts with opening e-mails and going through the to-do’s of the day. Followed up by a check-in with an employee, coaching them around their work and how the team is doing. You jump into your own team’s stand-up and move on to spend some alone time to do your individual work for the team. After lunch you participate in the management team meeting to discuss leadership and WoW in the area. This is followed by a couple of hours of pair programming with a team member. To finish up the day you start prepping for tomorrow's refinement and go over your stories to be prepared.”
