We are looking for an experienced software engineer to develop web-based functionality for COMSOL Multiphysics® and related products. In this hands-on role, you will combine software development in TypeScript and Vue with technical leadership, team management, and coordination of the team’s development projects, working on software used by engineers and researchers around the world.About COMSOLCOMSOL develops cutting-edge mathematical modeling software that powers innovations in physics and engineering. Our flagship product, COMSOL Multiphysics®, is widely used across all fields of engineering, manufacturing, and scientific research to model multiphysics systems. Our customers leverage our software to understand, predict, and optimize product designs and processes. Founded in Sweden in 1986, COMSOL has expanded globally with 16 offices employing more than 500 people worldwide.RoleBased in our newly renovated office in central Stockholm, you will join the core group developing the user interface, communication, and data layer functionality of the COMSOL product suite. The group is also responsible for the Application Builder, Model Manager, COMSOL Server, and COMSOL Compiler functionality, which customers use to create, manage, deploy, and run simulation models and apps.Your main focus will be web frontend development for functionality that extends how our customers work with simulation software. This includes tools for managing simulation models and data, running and interacting with simulations, and making simulation functionality available to different users and computing environments. One example is the Model Manager, our process and data management system for simulation modeling. Other projects cover areas such as simulation apps, computational workflows, and functionality for deploying and using simulation models in new contexts.The projects evolve together with the COMSOL product suite, and you will have the opportunity to work on both established functionality and new product areas. The common challenge is to create intuitive web interfaces for sophisticated engineering software, often bringing together frontend development with complex underlying functionality and large amounts of technical data.As team lead, you will remain closely involved in software development while also managing the team and its projects. You will write and review code, contribute to product and technical design, make technical decisions, plan development projects, and guide and support the developers in the team. You will be responsible for creating an environment where the team can deliver high-quality software and grow professionally.Our web frontends are part of engineering software products rather than continuously deployed web services. The functionality you develop is released as part of software that our customers install and operate in their own environments. This brings challenges in areas such as compatibility, upgrades, performance, security, and long-term maintainability, and calls for careful design of functionality that will remain part of the products for years.QualificationsFor this position, we are looking for an experienced software engineer who combines strong technical skills with the ability to manage a development team and its projects. We are looking for the following qualifications:
Experience with the following will be highly valued:
No background in physics or simulation is required. At COMSOL, you will be part of a company where software developers, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers work together to develop software for science and engineering.Working at COMSOLAt COMSOL, frontend development is closely connected to the products as a whole. You will work on functionality that makes sophisticated simulation capabilities accessible in new ways, as part of an organization where many different areas of expertise contribute to the same product family.New team members quickly become essential contributors to ongoing development projects. In this role, you will have the opportunity to shape both the software and the development of your team, while remaining closely involved in hands-on software development.We also offer:
This role is primarily based in our Stockholm office, where in-person collaboration is an important part of working with and supporting the team. We also offer flexibility to work from home when compatible with the needs of the team and the role.To ApplyDoes this sound interesting?
