We’re looking for an experienced Senior C++ Engineer to support our Playback Orchestration team during a critical migration phase. As we transition to a new orchestration system, your primary mission will be to help maintain and stabilise the existing platform—mitigating risk and ensuring smooth operation as we approach the final months of migration.
This is an opportunity to work closely with a highly collaborative, Sweden-based engineering team on widely-used, consumer-facing media experiences.

* Investigate, debug, and resolve complex issues—triaging problems quickly and effectively.
* Work across multiple projects, adapting to shifting priorities and domains.
* Collaborate closely with engineers and stakeholders to ensure alignment and minimise wasted effort.
* Communicate technical insights clearly, simplifying complex concepts for non-technical audiences.
What We’re Looking For Essential Technical Skills
* Senior-level C++ expertise with extensive industry experience.
* Strong debugging capabilities and a test-driven mindset.
* Familiarity with playback and orchestration APIs (highly preferred).
* Comfort navigating large, complex systems and shifting between contexts.
Essential Soft Skills
* Excellent communication skills—with the ability to distil complex domain information for stakeholders.
* A true team player who seeks input and leverages peer expertise.
* An “overcommunicator” who ensures alignment and clarity across teams.
Preferred Experience
* Recent experience with large-scale tech organisations for seamless onboarding.
* Background in consumer multimedia software (e.g., Netflix, Amazon).
* Experience with automotive infotainment or car software ecosystems (e.g., Volvo Cars).
* Experience with app marketplaces, orchestration logic, and/or content management (e.g., Peloton or similar platforms).
