As a Software Engineer you will help harden solutions for divisions going through a technological as well as organisational transformation.

Working in an R&D with an established internal Technology Platform (Xalt) will allow you to provide a reliable and robust software architecture whilst practicing your already proven skills in software engineering.

The platform helps our internal divisions and teams to interconnect the diverse software platforms and products we have across our company.

You will be working in a cross-culture team with a variety of experienced software engineers and architects.

You should be well versed and have good practical experience in the following topics :

The company has a number of divisions focussed on different areas of business and each of them is developing cloud-based solutions.

In addition to the divisions, we operate a central R&D group under the direction of our CTO that we call the Innovation Hub.

This group provides both hardware and software technologies. We aim to create innovative solutions where our core competencies in secure enterprise systems, simulation, AI, reality capture, design and operational technologies overlap in the areas of autonomous vehicles & fleets, construction, fabrication, mining, agriculture, and smart cities.

The company has 24,000 staff across the globe, nearly a quarter of which focus on R&D.

The software environment is very diverse, consisting of everything from FPGA Firmware in our own hardware devices to Cloud Native SaaS platforms.

Some of our software has been in use for 30 years and some is on the very edge of AI / ML and AR / VR research.
