Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future. Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.

We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

What’s in it for you? 
Would you like to be a leader in an amazing organization serving one of the core areas of the Volvo Cars business? Do you want to help us enable Volvo Cars direct customer relationships and electric transformation? 
SSA is a part of our Commercial Cluster in the Digital Finance area, responsible for enabling a bright future at Volvo Cars through digital innovation within the finance area. SSA works as the integration layer between key financial systems and helps other teams run faster by abstracting financial complexities. As one of our new Engineering Managers you will guide a team of software engineers, together with your product partner, to contribute to Volvo Cars success through modern technical solutions. How do you run an integration team without becoming a bottleneck? It is not an easy task.
You can be based in one of our offices in Gothenburg or Stockholm. 
What you’ll do 
You will lead and grow a team of hardworking software engineers through hiring, mentoring, inspiring and feedback. You will ensure, through streamlined execution and experimentation, that our solutions meet the needs of our customers quickly and accurately. You will be the voice of engineering in the product team through a friendly and effective collaboration with your product counterpart. 
Moreover, you will advocate and strengthen a modern, agile software development and help us develop and foster good engineering practices. You will ensure the solutions are scalable, sustainable, architecturally sound, and that technical debt is both incurred consciously and repaid in a reasonable time. Lastly, you will be an active member of the cluster engineering leadership team and collaborate with other leaders across the organization.
Do you fit the profile? 
We believe that you have experience of working with backend teams, and it is meritorious if you have worked with integrations specifically. The team works primarily with .Net C# targeting Kubernetes but the main deployment is done in Azure Cloud. Integrations are provided through API and Messaging. 
You love to lead, develop, inspire and grow an engineering team, and have previous experience doing so; you are probably a technical manager today and you know what it takes to build a phenomenal team. 
You are very knowledgeable and passionate about modern software development that builds products our customers love. You are passionate about digital technologies and willing to work hands-on to try new technologies. You are good at leveraging vendor capability for the team’s delivery.
Finally, you are someone that fully embraces a growth mindset, and you have the ability to encourage others to do the same. You are someone who likes to have fun at work and makes sure everyone always feels welcome and included!
