Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior C++ Software Developer to join our Jeppesen Crew Tracking team in Gothenburg. In this role, you will help evolve our Crew Tracking product, supporting airline customers globally in managing crew operations efficiently, securely, and with consistently high production quality.

Your work will contribute to the modernization of our current on-premises solution toward a cloud-ready architecture using AWS, while also supporting system integration and the development of new product capabilities. The team is responsible for backend software components close to the database, making this a key role in ensuring performance, maintainability, scalability, and quality.

You will join a dedicated team of senior software engineers where collaboration, helpfulness, and continuous improvement are central to how we work. We work closely with internal stakeholders, other development teams, and airline customers to develop solutions and improve the user experience.

We place strong emphasis on product quality, with build pipelines, automated testing, and CI/CD practices forming an important part of our daily work. A DevSecOps mindset is essential as we continue our journey from on-premises solutions toward SaaS in a cloud environment.

We strive to build strong, empowered teams that take full responsibility, operate with autonomy, and continuously improve and innovate. As a senior software developer, you are expected to guide and support the team in technical matters, product security, and the adoption of AI-enabled tools and practices. You bring strong analytical problem-solving skills, excellent communication abilities, and a genuine interest in both technology and collaboration. Experience with agile methods is highly valued.

You will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the product, deepen your understanding of the domain, and grow both as a software engineer and as a professional. We also offer training and development opportunities to strengthen your knowledge of the product from both technical and customer perspectives.
