You will join our transitioning journey, moving into a product-focused organisation. We have just started and we are looking for great people that want to be part of this journey.
We own a wide variety of things, from cloud networking to Kubernetes clusters and all the way to our developer portal based on backstage.
That does not mean we need you to know the internals of networks or Kubernetes. But together with people who do, you can help make it easier for developers to use our products.

Your day-to-day work will involve writing well-tested code that helps us make the developer experience better.
You will also talk to users to get their feedback, help users when they have issues and help make sure our platform solves the right things.

We are looking for several software engineers with different levels of experience and background to join our teams both in Stockholm and Gothenburg. 

We believe good engineers can adapt and learn the skills needed, but we want you to have knowledge and experience in these areas:
* Experience in working in some kind of product team
* Knowledge of what infrastructure as code means.
* As we are part of Volvo Cars Platform organisation it is beneficial if you are aware of Platform Engineering principals.
