About this job

Are you ready to be part of a Platform Engineering team serving 900 developers with an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) which automates what is required to build, test and release AXIS OS, the embedded Linux distribution that powers our products? If you are passionate about large scale build systems and are looking for the possibility to work with like-minded professionals, then this can be the perfect opportunity for you! Your future team You will be part of a growing Platform Engineering organization, divided into small, highly collaborative, and autonomous sub-teams. Together with your future colleagues you provide an Internal Developer Platform that is used by Axis developers to create daily releases of AXIS OS, used in over 200 different Axis products. The IDP is built with a mix of open-source software, internally developed tools, and vendor licensed software. We're active in several open-source communities and you're encouraged to contribute to and engage with them. We also embrace AI to work smarter, using AI-assisted development and automation to speed up our daily work and free up time for the problems that matter most.
