NFA Forestry Automation AB jobb

As a Product Lead for the Application Team you will lead a highly autonomous cross-functional software team responsible for delivering a high quality user experience for both the existing operator support product and upcoming products. You will continuously learn about what challenges face forest machine operators in their daily work, and guide the team in inventing new ways of addressing them using NFA perception technology. We build a technically advanced product with strong emphasis on software. Therefore we think an engineering, software or UX design background is beneficial for the role. The role requires an organized and user focused mindset and a genuine interest in improving the work environment of forest machine operators. ‍Responsibilities Understanding what features the operators need and making sure they are built accordingly Coordinate with the product leadership team on overall product strategy and business goals Leading the software team in their daily work, helping them prioritize Releasing software with quality and intent to the field ‍Candidate ‍Preferably you have some experience with similar roles in software development like Product Manager or Product Owner and have a good understanding of how to build the software application that the operators want - even if they don’t know themselves. You are comfortable with leading a team and creating a transparent work culture - including the engineers in design decisions and learnings. ‍It is beneficial if you have some education or experience with UX/UI design and know how to set up user evaluations and experiments to understand the operator’s needs. ‍It is important that you: Have a user focused mindset and appreciate spending time with the operators Are open to learning new things Have good communication skills Enjoy diversity in your work Can interact with operators in Swedish ‍We offer An opportunity to work with exciting tech - developing state-of-the-art operator support products A role with high autonomy in everyday work and responsibility towards our operators An opportunity to grow with us and influence how we work A journey where we build the next generation of forestry management and operator work experience ‍About NFA ‍NFA is building the forestry technology of the future, and we are in an expansive phase where we are scaling up the launch of our first product while accelerating the development of next-generation products. ‍Our first product is a driver assistance system for thinning that helps machine operators worldwide achieve their thinning goals based on real-time measurements of the forest around the machine. Our technology makes precision forestry a reality, and we are leading the global technological development of advanced driver assistance and autonomous technology for forestry machines. ‍With us, you will get to work at the forefront of technology and contribute to the development of a more sustainable and data-driven forestry industry.

About the Role ‍NFA is looking for an experienced fullstack developer to join us in developing the next generation of operator support and inventory solutions for forestry machines. You will be working as part of the Application Team, which owns the operator and cloud platform user experience - taking joint responsibility in delivering a high quality service. The tasks within this scope are broad and include all aspects of the stack while maintaining the necessary infrastructure for development and testing. Specifically you will be working on developing a customer-facing data and fleet management platform, which will allow customers to both manage their NFA devices and view the forestry data gathered during operation. In addition to this you will also be involved in relevant parts of the operator support software stack. Work ‍Working with the Application Team, you will be involved in: Designing and developing a customer-facing fleet and data management platform Implementation of operator-facing features used in our operator support devices Building and maintaining testing, monitoring and data infrastructure Candidate ‍We see that you have proven experience in designing, implementing and maintaining user-facing web applications. You also have a university education in a relevant field, e.g. Computer Science. You should be comfortable working with tools and languages such as TypeScript, Python, and Docker. It is important for us that you: Are open to learning new things & enjoy diversity in your work Have good communication skills Have a user focused mindset and be open to feedback It is beneficial if you have experience with: Cloud platforms, particularly Google Cloud Platform Cybersecurity for public-facing web platforms, such as authentication and authorization Big data management We offer An opportunity to work with exciting tech - developing state-of-the-art operator support products A team with high autonomy in everyday work and responsibility towards our operators An opportunity to grow with us and influence how we work A journey where we build the next generation of forestry management and operator work experience About NFA ‍NFA is building the forestry technology of the future, and we are in an expansive phase where we are scaling up the launch of our first product while accelerating the development of next-generation products.
