Softwared Developer Android

Software: fuel for mobility

We bring bold digital visions to life. So we’re on the lookout for more curious and creative engineers who want to create change – one line of high-quality code at a time. Our transformation isn't for everyone, but if you're excited about solving the leading-edge technological challenges facing the auto industry, then let’s talk about your next move.

The Volvo Cars mobile app has revolutionized the industry, making life less complicated for hundreds of thousands of people by providing remote access to their cars from the comfort of their homes. With the app, users can start, heat, and prepare their cars for trips by sending destinations from their phones, tablets, or watches.

At our Lindholmen location, you will thrive as part of a cross-functional agile team, developing the mobile app and the supporting systems needed for the entire feature to work. Join us at the forefront of technology and help create the next big thing that magazines and sites like Engadget and The Verge will rave about.

Responsibilities

Your main responsibilities will include designing, developing, and maintaining the Volvo Cars Android application for phones, tablets, and watches. You will engage with the rest of the team and actively pull tasks from the backlog, write testable code and unit tests, review your colleagues’ code, and keep an open mind by showing interest in all parts of the solution, exploring beyond mobile apps. Additionally, you will follow technical trends and propose innovative new features.

Requirements

We require a BSc degree in a computer-related field or equivalent work experience as a mobile apps software developer, or a passionate spare-time developer. You should have documented experience of released applications (at least one published app) or open-source projects, either independently or as part of a team. Experience in writing testable and maintainable code, fluency in Kotlin, and a good understanding of the Android platform and framework are essential. Excellent English skills, both verbal and written, are also required.

Personal qualities

Preferred qualifications include experience in C/C++ embedded development, iOS mobile app development, Microsoft Azure .NET development, familiarity with agile tools such as Jira, Git, and Jenkins, experience in software development automation, and good knowledge of BLE technology.

We are looking for someone with a passion for new technologies, software development, and creating great user experiences. You should be willing to take on tasks that are most important for team progress and have a positive and easy-going mindset.
