Job description

At CPAC Systems, we develop technology that connects software, electronics and real-world applications. We are looking for a technical leader to lead teams developing backend services and fullstack solutions for connected machines.

Combining project management, product ownership and team leadership, you will translate customer and business needs into clear priorities and lead your teams’ development and maintenance work. You will manage budgets, timelines and resources, balancing scope, quality and delivery while coordinating dependencies between applications, backend services and machine systems.

Your teams’ solutions form part of a broader connected ecosystem, enabling communication between machines, digital services and users. You will work with software that supports the machine-to-machine chain, collaborating across technical areas to ensure that individual components work together as a complete solution.

Your technical background helps you understand software architecture, integrations and data flows across frontend, backend and connected systems. Working closely with developers, customers and other stakeholders, you will guide priorities and technical discussions, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term maintainability, reliability and scalability.

About Us

CPAC Systems develops advanced control systems for marine and industrial applications. Since 1999, we have been turning complex operations into intuitive experiences. With 250 employees, a portfolio of more than 80 patents and more than 500,000 products delivered each year, we drive innovation in everything from electrification to intelligent automation. As part of Volvo Group, our role is to lead advanced technology development and explore the next generation of smart control systems.

Your background

• 5-10 years of experience leading software development, for example as Product Owner, Project Manager, Lead Engineer or Technical Team Lead.
• Experience working closely with customers or external partners and turning their needs into clear priorities and requirements for development teams.
• A background in backend or full-stack development, connected services or similar software technology.
• A good understanding of software architecture, APIs, system integrations and how data moves between applications, backend services and connected devices.
• A bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Fluent English, spoken and written.

It is a plus if you also have:

• Experience with IoT, telematics or other systems where machines and vehicles communicate with backend services.
• A background in the automotive, off-highway or industrial machinery industry.
• Knowledge of Swedish.

Who are you?

You are a hands-on project manager who enjoys working closely with your teams. You connect people, take initiative and keep things moving, while trusting others and giving them room to take ownership.

You bring structure and calm when deadlines are tight, turning complex challenges into clear priorities. You explain technical topics confidently to engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike and create an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions and solving problems together.

You enjoy understanding customer needs and balancing expectations with the teams’ capacity. You are comfortable adjusting plans and saying no when needed, keeping both delivery and long-term quality in focus.

Your interest in technology remains hands-on: you enjoy programming, whether through side projects or simply for fun. You are curious about AI and how it can change software development, and you like exploring new tools and approaches. You understand how software connects machines, services and users, and how decisions in one part of a system affect the whole.

You will primarily work from our office in Mölndal. We offer the flexibility to work remotely one day per week.
