At Elekta, we’re pioneering the next generation of oncology systems — and we’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help shape the software platform that will power all future Elekta products.

As part of our Enterprise Shared Component team, you’ll:

• Improve CI/CD pipelines and work with Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure DevOps to streamline delivery.
• Apply cross-functional skills in development and test automation to ensure high-quality solutions.
• Collaborate, share knowledge, and drive innovation that makes a difference for healthcare professionals and patients.

The right stuff:

• Experience of working with Agile delivery processes – understanding of SAFe framework and agile practices
• Strong technical communication skills, and the ability to influence others with articulation and insight

What you bring:

*We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement—your unique skills and experiences might be exactly what we're looking for!
