Tech lead, customer & commercial solutions

Journeys That Matters

Since 1946, we have kept Scandinavia connected to the world and the world to Scandinavia. We have been frontrunners in the air – but the future we head into is ever-changing. We need to be one step ahead. That is why we now make the largest move within Digital and IT in the history of SAS. We will employ 100 new people working with data engineering, data science, UX design, front- and back-end development, and more, to a new in-house department – leading the way for aviation into the future. Our ambitions transcend those of our industry – and this team will be the center of our most accelerated technological transformation so far.

We are SAS, and we move Scandinavia. We fly because the world is moving, and it needs our help to stay in motion. Will you get on board and join our journey?
