HiQ

På HiQ i Göteborg bygger vi teknik som får saker att rulla, lyfta och ibland försvara. Det är en stor variation mellan våra uppdrag och kunder, och ibland arbetar vi på plats hos våra kunder och ibland i  HiQ-team från våra egna lokaler. Exakt vad du kommer jobba med? Det beror lite på vem du är och vad som väntar runt hörnet. Men en sak är säker: det blir C/C++, det blir utveckling på riktigt, och det blir roligt.  Vi söker dig med: * Har minst 5 års erfarenhet av mjukvaruutveckling i C/C++.  * Har relevant högskoleutbildning inom exempelvis datateknik eller inbyggda system.  * Talar och skriver svenska och engelska obehindrat.  * Är en kommunikativ lagspelare som drivs av nyfikenhet och vill bidra, både till oss och till våra kunder.   Meriterande om du har: * Erfarenhet av Bazel   * Programmeringskunskaper i Python.  * Intresse för, eller erfarenhet inom AI eller maskininlärning.  Om HiQ Att vara HiQare är både utmanande och omväxlande. Vi är alla konsulter vilket innebär att vi i våra projekt hos kund eller in-house får prova nytt och bli exponerad för nya branscher, arbetsplatser och tech-stacks. Variationen är stor och utvecklingstakten snabb. Hos oss får du bidra och bemästra dina starkaste kompetenser, men även utforska och utveckla nya. Med rätt attityd och kompetens bidrar du med värde både i ditt uppdrag och till dina kollegor på HiQ.    Hos oss hittar du allt från marknadens vassaste utvecklare, testare och hackers, till projektledare, agila coacher och designers. Även om våra kompetenser är många och olika så har vi mycket gemensamt – vi tycker om att driva utveckling, att förbättra och förenkla... och framför allt – att ha kul på vägen!    HiQ är kulturdrivet, inte regelstyrt, och det gör att man kan vara sig själv till 100%. En följd av det är att man som HiQ:are tar sitt jobb seriöst, men inte alltid sig själva :) Det som genomsyrar oss all är viljan och ambitionen att bidra till att göra världen lite bättre med hjälp av teknik och kommunikationslösningar som förenklar människors liv. På riktigt.  Vi ser fram emot din ansökan<3
