Job description

Our engineering teams are responsible for developing new features and applications with a focus on performance, quality, and robust architectural design. In this role, you won’t just be building user interfaces; you will be the backbone of our next‑generation infotainment system. You will focus heavily on the background services, network infrastructure, and security frameworks that keep our vehicles safely connected to the world.

This is a platform‑centric role, meaning you will work deep in the stack with C++/C and Linux systems, with Kotlin used for handling the bridge to the Android‑based infotainment layer.

The Work Includes

• Network & Security Architecture: Designing, securing, and maintaining the vehicle’s internal and external network interfaces, implementing robust firewall rules, and ensuring secure data transmission.
• Linux Platform Maintenance: Improving existing background services to ensure system stability, low latency, and high performance at the OS level.
• Feature Development: Developing new low‑level features and background services based on complex automotive requirements and security standards.
• Lifecycle Ownership: Managing the entire software lifecycle, ensuring secure and stable CI/CD deliveries straight into production vehicles.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are looking for a passionate, security‑minded Systems Developer with a proven track record in low‑level Linux and C++ engineering.

You are a perfect fit if you are a collaborative, reliable, and security‑conscious engineer who can articulate complex technical and architectural concepts clearly—both verbally and in technical documentation. You have a natural drive for innovation, a keen eye for potential system vulnerabilities, and the leadership qualities needed to motivate a team toward high‑quality, secure deliveries.

Personal Qualities

• Strong team spirit combined with a structured, independent approach to problem‑solving.
• A proactive mindset, willing to take on whatever task is most critical for the team’s success.
• Excellent cross‑cultural collaboration skills.
• A passion for cutting‑edge automotive technology and building highly secure, seamless infrastructure.

Requirements

• Education & Experience: Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronics, or equivalent, alongside 8+ years of experience in software development with a strong focus on C++ and a working knowledge of Kotlin/Java.
• Operating Systems: Deep understanding of the Linux operating system (kernel, networking stack, memory management, and security modules).
• Core Competency: Strong experience with VLANs, networking, and firewalls alongside network protocols (TCP/IP, routing, VPNs), firewall configuration, and embedded software security best practices.
• Automotive Tech: Experience with AUTOSAR and vehicle communication frameworks.
• Tooling: Experience with development and CI/CD tools such as Git, Jenkins, Jira, and Artifactory.
• Quality Assurance: Strong knowledge of software verification, unit testing, and integration testing for embedded systems.
• Languages: Fluent Swedish and professional proficiency in English (both spoken and written).
• Work Permit: Valid work permit for Sweden.

Merits (Bonus Points)

• Experience working with PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) and certificate management.
• Experience with AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and the Android HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).
• Experience in Embedded Linux development or running software on top of hypervisors (e.g., QNX).
• Familiarity with Python, RxJava, and advanced automotive communication protocols.
• Prior experience specifically within the Automotive Tier‑1 or OEM infotainment sector.
• Experience working with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
