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?

This role is within our Commercial Digital team, which is using digital technologies to reinvent the experience of becoming a Volvo customer. There’s no reason the experience of buying a car should be painful and difficult – it should be as enjoyable and exciting as actually having a new car. That is our mission. You will be responsible for developing software for consumer facing and internal products across more than 100 countries accessed by millions of people. We create the end-to-end experience for online sales/subscriptions of cars, global campaigns as well as frameworks for other parts of Volvo cars. Your responsibilities will include rapid development of prototypes/concepts, and regular product development.

You should have start-up mind set where you have quickly developed prototypes and catalysed product development in a fast paced, fluid environment.  You have or have recently had hands-on development experience. You are experienced with agile development and a champion of software development best practices. The team is primarily located in Gothenburg, Stockholm Sweden, and we also have teams in the San Francisco US and in Shanghai China. Many of the people you will be working with have experience from start-ups and global tech companies such as Spotify, Google, Ericsson, Microsoft, Tradera, Klarna, EA Games etc.

You And Your Skills

We are looking for an experienced software engineering manager who has previously built and led software engineering teams.
In this role, you'll split your time between hands-on development or technical design within a team and managing a development team. As a manager, you'll be responsible for hiring, compensation, and employee career development.

You're passionate about transforming and developing digital products, architecture, and best practices. You enjoy interacting with development teams to understand their needs and product missions. With servant leadership and a strong technical foundation, you strive to create a fast and fun developer experience. Strong people management, collaboration, and communication skills are essential in this role.
