OAS technically is divided into multiple layers. The system is built upon Oracle database. OAS handles s lot of data and performs complex queries, so in order to reach desired performance Oracle Coherence is used. Oracle Coherence is a cache layer that store frequently used data and reduce response time. The data is exposed through API:s developed in Java and are used both by external consumers and internally. The frontend consists of multiple AngularJS and Angular apps. What distinguishes OAS frontend from many other web applications is the use of the HATEOAS architecture where the data specifies what operations can be performed on the data in the frontend.

We strive for self-sufficient teams that take responsibility for their results and we now have an urgent need to develop and enhance our ability to ensure the quality of our deliveries to Scania. The right person for this position will have significant opportunities to influence both their own development and our methods.

In addition to an exciting career, we offer a competitive salary and other benefits, such as a company car that you can privately lease, performance bonuses, a pension plan, flexible working hours, lunch at reduced prices and much more.
