Your role and responsibilities

We are looking for a dedicated and experienced software developer who thrives in an environment where stability, quality and long-term thinking are key. In this role, you will work on maintaining and improving established systems that are business-critical for our customers. This means that you need to be careful, responsible and appreciate working methodically in complex technical environments.

You will be an important part of a small team where your ability to work independently, in groups and take responsibility for your deliveries is central. Here we value people who like to be in control of details, follow processes and ensure that systems work as they should - every day. As documentation is sometimes limited, you need to be comfortable searching for information, familiarizing yourself with legacy code bases and interpreting existing architecture.

The role includes:

  • Broad responsibilities covering the entire development process - from debugging and bug fixing to build, configuration management and cybersecurity. Documentation and testing are natural parts of the job.
  • Maintenance and fixes of existing systems to ensure longevity, stability and reliability.
  • Work with regular software releases for Advant Master products within System 800xA as well as regression testing in our modern lab.
  • Troubleshooting and solving advanced technical issues within customer cases, where your experience and accuracy will make a big difference to our extensive installed customer base.

Qualifications for the role

  • You are an experienced software developer with good technical understanding; experience in hardware related development is merited.
  • Knowledge of control systems and their structure; meritorious if you have worked with distributed control systems and industrial contexts.
  • You have good knowledge of C/C++.
  • You express yourself fluently in Swedish and English in speech and writing.
  • You have experience of source code management and are used to structured working methods, for example in Microsoft Visual Studio that we use.
  • As a person, you are careful, responsible and appreciate working with systems where quality and stability are crucial.
