Senior Backend Developer

Are you passionate about software development and creating value that makes a difference? Do you want to be at the center of Scania’s unique modular system that enables an extremely wide portfolio of products using relatively few components and parts? Do you want to work in a multifaceted, complex, continually changing environment and take your skills to the next level? Then you are reading the right ad!
Our awesome Value Creation Team (VCT) is looking for a Business Analyst keen on learning about and working with our unique in-house developed, proprietary metadata driven Product Data Management system OAS and its users.

The Product
OAS (Object And Structure tool) enables Scania’s modular approach by utilising product data, structures, configuration capabilities and support for Product Lifecycle Management. OAS supports most business areas such as Sales, Design, Production and Service.

The Value Creation Team
We work in a Lean-Agile framework inspired by SAFe. The OAS/PDM VCT is our version of an Agile Release Train. The VCT consists of around 90 people – Product Owners, Business Analysts, Business and Solution Architects, Metadata Creators, Developers, Testers and others. The day-to-day work is done in small teams made up of a mix of these competencies. You will work in close cooperation with people who use the PDM system in their daily work. Together with your team, you will help create value for users, stakeholders and ultimately for Scania’s customers.

What’s important to us?
We thrive when we can solve problems and produce results together, drawing on each other’s strengths and helping out if things don’t go as planned. Transparency, integrity, flexibility, and empathy are a few examples of values we live by.

What’s in it for you?
We offer you an interesting, fun, challenging, and developing journey with passionate colleagues in business and IT. Our Value Creation Team is involved in many of Scania’s strategic initiatives. The work environment is international, and your colleagues and stakeholders represent different nationalities and companies. In this exciting and dynamic setting, you can influence the future process and IT landscape within the TRATON Group.
We offer a dynamic workplace in a hybrid work setup, meaning you will work at our office in Södertälje, from home or at our remote office at Scania Sergel if the work allows. Scania offers many opportunities to develop your skills and your career both domestically as well as internationally.

In addition to career and development opportunities, we offer you other benefits such as free work-out facilities at Scania's own health center Gröndal or a wellness allowance. Other benefits include a performance bonus, occupational pension, flexible working hours, car lease through the company, and more. If you live in Stockholm, we offer a direct bus service between Stockholm and Södertälje with Scania JobExpress.
