About the position

About the role
Production Configuration Services serves as the connection between product implementation and customer support. Once an airline goes live on our Planning & Operations products, our team remains closely engaged with their configuration layer - maintaining business logic, resolving issues, refining requirements, and building the interfaces that ensure the product aligns with how they operate.
This role extends well beyond software development. You will spend as much time in direct discussions with customer - addressing requirements and configuration challenges - as you will writing code.
Position Responsibilities:
- Act as a technical liaison for customers, engaging directly with stakeholders to understand their requirements and deliver fully configured, developed solutions
- Lead requirement change-assessment meetings with customers, providing technical guidance and direction throughout the discussion
- Collaborate with customer to resolve issues within live production environments, minimizing impact to their operations
- Develop solution designs, provide effort estimates, and present roll out plans to stakeholders prior to execution
- Mentor and develop customer-side engineers, strengthening their technical capability within the configuration layer
- Provide technical oversight across integration initiatives, including code review and cross-functional troubleshooting with customer and internal teams
- Design and maintain the interfaces and tools connecting internal systems to customer environments, ensuring a seamless technical experience
- Identify opportunities to increase the value customers derive from existing solutions, supporting long-term account growth
Basic Qualifications:
- Minimum of 5 years of software development experience, with demonstrated success engaging directly with customers or end users in a professional capacity
- Minimum of 5 years of experience working within Linux/Unix environments
- Advanced proficiency in Python
- Demonstrated experience managing codebases and deployment pipelines (Git, GitLab, GitHub, or equivalent)
- Exceptional communication skills.
- Advanced proficiency in spoken and written English
Preferred Qualifications:
- Airline or crew/operations planning experience
- Agile team background
- Relational database modelling, PostgreSQL
- Test-driven development (Gherkin, Behave)
- Containerization/virtualization (Docker, Kubernetes, Vagrant, VirtualBox)
- Cloud IaaS/PaaS (AWS, Azure)
- Camel, XML, data integration work
- Shell scripting, functional programming (RAVE)
- Additional languages
- AI prompt engineering
Relocation:
This position does not offer relocation. Candidates must live in the immediate area of Gothenburg or relocate at their own expense.

Why this role, specifically
You get variety most dev roles don't: new feature builds, requirement analysis, live troubleshooting, mentoring customer developers, code review, and direct input into how a global airline runs its operations software. You'll work alongside 400 colleagues from 50+ nations in Gothenburg, with the autonomy to make real calls on real customer problems - not just execute a backlog.
