About this vacancy
Do you want your code to change the future of mobility?
We are looking for people to achieve this change. To realize their mission, they need talented software engineers who want to shape a new age of mobility. Software is driving this change – therefore they need you, your vision, ideas, and technical solutions.
Job description
You will be working with the best engineers, so you should not be afraid to speak up. Your voice will be heard. We will encourage you to stand up and take the lead.

During your first year, you will learn about all aspects of our organization through our Embedded Engineering Academy program.

- Participates in the planning and retrospective processes during scrum rituals
- Identifies impediments and sorts them out (with support from the scrum master where required)

- Executes on the definition of done and ensures minimum build failure on account of integration issues, and acts quickly when failures are detected
