Senior Backend developer

What we do in our team?

Autonomous vehicles and their surrounding ecosystem are important areas in the strategy of MAN and our partners. Together with digitalization and electrification, they form the building blocks of the future product lineup.

To control, monitor and assist the self-driving vehicles on the road, a cloud system is needed which connects and collects many different data sources. To operate fleets of autonomous commercial vehicles from a central place, the right data needs to be process and available at the right time at the right place. This helps in establishing the use case for our customers to easily and economically use autonomous vehicles (AV's). We are searching people to participate in the creation of these key components to help build the autonomous future.

What will your responsibilities be?

• Working in the context of autonomous vehicles you will create, test, deploy and run (DevOps) backend solutions and internal tools using modern cloud infrastructure.
• You will develop and maintain functionality for our future trucks, using agile methodologies and being responsible for integral parts of our technical roadmap.
• You will create products, prototypes and MVPs, supporting and directly interacting with our self driving systems.
• You take care of cloud native services using containers, serverless functions, RESTful APIs and event streaming.
• You will be able to take end to end responsibility for the products you build, working closely with other departments to test your software as part of the complete system.
• You advise your team and other teams on all questions around backend and tool development in the autonomous vehicle area and work together on continuously improving the service, tooling and processes.
• You take initiative to solve problems and overcome roadblocks, being the interface between architecture, technology and the user. You are a result-oriented individual.
