Senior Software Engineer for Data Management   Data Management and Platform - Let’s introduce ourselves. In modern vehicle development and especially for safety-related functions, data plays an important role when doing initial insights, development work (both verification and AI), and continuous improvements after launch. The large amounts of data that are required for vehicle development need to be processed and managed to generate great products that provide a safe journey for our customers and are attractive to buy.  Our organization provides value to the development teams by processing, organizing, and governing data, based on the needs of each team. We need a skilled application developer to lead the work with the development of systems for managing data.  What you’ll do  The functions we develop shall simplify and govern the usage of data. This requires designing systems and interfaces, and ensuring they are implemented and deployed for stable, long-time usage. The focus should be much on automation to ensure consistent behavior and to allow usage when our customers have the need.  Our systems mostly use Python and are deployed either in our on-prem data center or in the cloud environment. Since we are part of a large organization the systems need to consider different users and interface with both Volvo Cars internal and our partners systems. After deployment, we operate our own systems and monitor usage.  Want to know more?  To apply, please submit your CV and cover letter.
