Python Job: Senior Full Stack Developer

REQ ID: 107701
JOB TITLE: Senior Full Stack Developer
SALARY: Competitive
LOCATION: Shannon, Ireland

Dreaming for tomorrow is about more than ideas and ambitions. We-re already building the next generation of vehicles, using repurposed and brand-new technology and techniques. We-re doing more than dream, we-re creating the future of mobility and automotive for years to come.

The Opportunity

An ever-evolving heritage. A truly exciting future. Two of the world-s most iconic brands. Jaguar Land Rover is revered across the globe. Continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the benchmark for excellence, we set the standards others want to follow. We want to keep it that way too. Which is where you join the journey.

The main purpose of this role is to support the design and development of components and solutions for a global testing platform.

This platform is intended to be used on autonomous vehicles and advanced control systems to class-leading infotainment, cloud-connected features and integration of consumer electronic technologies, not to mention the opportunity to drive advanced prototype vehicles.

Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities

It is critical that the role can use extensive theory-based problem solving as repeating defects is often very time consuming and difficult, so being able to develop a list of theoretical root causes and be able to eliminate these through analysis / test is fundamental.
