Professional Software Engineer
Göteborg, SE, 417 55
Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match.
Join us in shaping the next evolution of manufacturing software.
We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help evolve one of Volvo Group's most business-critical digital products, supporting manufacturing operations across multiple production sites. You'll join the product at a unique point in its journey, where you'll help improve today's solution while influencing its technical direction for years to come.
The product has successfully supported manufacturing operations for many years and is now entering its next phase. Our ambition is to continuously introduce new capabilities, service-based architecture, modern engineering practices and technologies that enable automation, intelligent services and future innovation, while maintaining the stability that manufacturing depends on.
If you enjoy understanding complex systems, improving them incrementally, and helping shape what comes next, we'd like to hear from you.
What you'll do
Together with developers, architects and the Product Owner, you'll contribute to the product's long-term technical direction by:
• Designing, developing and maintaining business-critical software
• Modernising existing capabilities through incremental improvements rather than large-scale rewrites
• Designing and developing new services, APIs and capabilities as the product evolves
• Improving reliability, maintainability and performance
• Designing solutions that enable automation, data-driven decision making and future intelligent capabilities
• Supporting architectural decisions and technical investigations
• Coaching colleagues through technical leadership and code reviews
• Helping strengthen engineering practices and technical foundations that support continuous improvement
Who are you?
• You're an experienced software engineer who enjoys solving difficult technical challenges.
• You appreciate the value of existing software while recognising opportunities to improve it.
• You understand that successful modernisation isn't about replacing everything, it's about making thoughtful engineering decisions that create long-term value.
• You’re collaborative and comfortable working across different technologies and generations of software
• You enjoy learning, sharing knowledge and helping both products and people evolve over time.
What you'll bring
We’re looking for someone with strong experience in several of the following areas:
Software Development & Architecture
Experience with C#/.NET, including .NET Framework 4.8, .NET Core and Windows Forms, as well as Java. You should have understanding of object-oriented design, API development using technologies such as WCF and REST, and software architecture and design principles.
Databases & Data Management
Experience working with Microsoft SQL Server and/or Oracle, including T-SQL or PL/SQL. You should also have knowledge of database design, performance tuning and optimization.
Integration & Distributed Systems
Experience with enterprise integration, messaging technologies, event-driven architectures and distributed applications. You understand how systems communicate and how to build reliable integrations across complex environments.
Modern Software Engineering & Operations
Familiarity with modern software engineering practices, including CI/CD, Git, automated testing, containers, cloud platforms, DevOps and observability.
Experience That Would Set You Apart
We’d be particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience of modernizing large, long-lived software products while maintaining operational stability. Experience working with business-critical systems, where reliability and performance are essential, is highly valued. We also appreciate engineers who enjoy mentoring others, sharing technical knowledge and collaborating closely with architects to support the platform’s long-term development and technical direction.
Why join us?
You'll join a highly experienced engineering team with deep product knowledge and play an important role in bringing fresh perspectives that help shape the product's future.
This is an opportunity to influence how a business-critical manufacturing platform evolves over the coming years. You'll work across today's platform while helping shape the services, architecture and engineering practices that will support the next generation of manufacturing software.
