We are looking for a technically strong and experienced leader with a background in software development, preferably within embedded systems. Experience from leading teams in a product-oriented environment is essential, as well as the ability to operate in contexts where software is closely integrated with hardware and system-level functionality.

A solid understanding of modern development practices and experience from Linux-based environments are expected. With a structured and pragmatic approach, you prioritise effectively, make informed decisions, and drive execution forward. Strong collaboration skills and the ability to build relationships across functions are key.

Qualifications:

• Relevant academic degree in engineering or equivalent experience

• Experience from one or more of the following: C, C++, or Go

• Strong understanding of modern software development practices such as CI/CD, code reviews, version control, testing strategies
