THE OPPORTUNITY
Polestar is accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility through electric performance. Car Services and Industrial
Operations is a newly established area that plays a vital role in Polestar’s business.
Our mission is to ensure that Polestar can offer services to customers seamlessly, while giving our service partners the digital
tools they need to enhance, maintain, and repair our vehicles. We support compound operations so that cars are properly prepared
and delivered to their owners on time. We also collect, analyze, and share data that provides valuable product insights, helping
the quality organization to quickly identify and resolve issues, keeping customers satisfied and reducing quality costs.
Product compliance is another cornerstone of our work, ensuring that Polestar’s products meet both new and existing legislation
across all markets where we operate. In addition, we support contract manufacturing by enabling downstream processes such as
homologation, Certification of Conformity, and warranty handling.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. Through smart digital solutions, we contribute to Polestar’s vision of a more
sustainable future by making key data accessible across manufacturing, logistics, aftermarket, and sustainability, empowering
better decisions, streamlined operations, and an elevated customer experience.
We are a close‑knit and experienced team. Several of us have worked together for a long time, creating a cohesive environment
built on collaboration and mutual support. We are ambitious, set high standards, and strive to deliver outstanding solutions,
while remaining prestige‑free, adaptable, and focused on the customer.
We are now looking for a Senior Solution Architect to join us at our headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden.
LET US DESCRIBE THE CHALLENGE WE OFFER
As a Senior Solution Architect, you will guide multiple teams in building aligned, scalable, and high‑quality solutions across the

technical and business outcomes. You will also work with the broader architecture community, including Solution Architects, Chief
Architects, and Enterprise Architects, together with leadership and external partners where relevant.

comfortable working with both technical teams and business stakeholders, and you can explain complex topics in a clear and
practical way.
You combine strong technical understanding with the ability to connect strategy, architecture, and execution, and you are
motivated by enabling teams to deliver scalable and high‑quality solutions.
To be a great fit for this position, we believe you have:
* Experience designing solutions across multiple teams or domains
* Strong knowledge of cloud platforms, CI/CD, and modern system architecture
* Experience working with integrations, APIs, and distributed systems
* Experience delivering solutions across organizational and business boundaries
* Strong understanding of non‑functional requirements such as security, performance, and availability

IS THIS YOU?
If this sounds like the right challenge for you, we encourage you to apply. We apply a continuous selection process, and the
