We’re looking for a curious team player who enjoys exploring and understanding complex technical systems, has a genuine interest in software quality, and wants to continuously learn and grow. We believe the best ideas come from people with different perspectives. Everyone should feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and learning from mistakes.

You’ll work with software that runs on Axis devices, connected applications, and cloud services. This means you’ll need creativity, curiosity, and the flexibility to adapt to changing technologies.

You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of your work while being supported by experienced colleagues who enjoy collaborating, sharing knowledge, and learning from each other. We value the fresh perspectives that come with a curious mind, and we encourage you to bring your unique experience to our team.

• A genuine interest in software testing, backed by hands‑on experience in test automation
• A genuine interest in applying AI and large language models (LLMs) to software quality and engineering
• Ability to collaborate effectively across teams and disciplines
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken

We’d especially like to hear from candidates with experience in several of the following areas:

• Embedded Linux systems
• Testing complex systems, including API, integration, and UI automation
• Network video (e.g., MPEG4, H.264, H.265), network administration and TCP/IP
• Modern test automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines
• Jenkins (or similar CI tools) and Git (or similar version control system)
• Python scripting
• Test automation of both existing and newly developed test cases
• Agile development

Bonus points if you also bring:

• Proficiency in Swedish
• Experience mentoring colleagues and promoting quality best practices

As a world leader in network video, we develop technology that helps create safer and smarter environments around the world. Here, you’ll contribute to developing solutions that shape the future of security and surveillance - developing solutions used worldwide.
