Platform Engineer - Next Generation of Software Infrastructure!

We are about to experience the biggest change in the transport industry since the invention of cars. And it is happening fast. Not only will there be no drivers in the vehicles, but they will also be coordinated by intelligent planning and scheduling algorithms making the efficiency and utilization rate of the transport skyrocket.

To meet this change Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions. This means developing autonomous vehicles as well as the digital infrastructure needed to automate transport completely. This is the Scania Autonomous Transport Solution.

Within Intelligent transport systems, we develop products to connect and control autonomous vehicles. The Scania control center provides advanced automatic planning and dispatches for fleets of vehicles transporting goods and people. The control center has an operator interface and integrates with external logistics systems.

We are currently seeking a highly experienced and motivated Platform Engineer to join our dynamic Developer Platform team.
