What is Software Flow?

Software Flow is the backbone of our development process, providing a state-of-the-art build system that continuously tests and integrates our software into production vehicles. Our mission is to ensure that every change to our product—critical to Autonomous Driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems—is rebuilt and tested with precision.We use cutting-edge technologies like Bazel and its remote action caching to significantly speed up our development cycles. Additionally, we create and maintain internal tools to further optimize and automate these processes, allowing our engineers to focus on innovation rather than manual tasks.In short, Software Flow delivers a seamless, efficient, and reliable development environment that empowers our teams to push the boundaries of whats possible in autonomous driving technology. Who We Are As a Team Trust and autonomy are fundamental to how we operate in Team Grey. We take responsibility for our roadmap, processes, and, importantly, our mistakes.

More about Zenseact

Our software makes a difference. Using AI-based technology to create the ultimate driver support, were fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Every year, around 1,4 million people die in traffic while approximately 50 million people get injured. Many get disabled as a result of their injury. We can do better.

One purpose, one product. Were a software company dedicated to revolutionizing car safety. By designing the complete software stack for autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, were fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Zenseact was founded by Volvo Cars, and the teams are based in Gothenburg and Lund, Sweden, Munich in Germany and Shanghai, China. When we aim for zero accidents faster, we strive to speed up the transition to safe automation. This is essentially achieved by making cars updatable - like a computer or a phone. With regular software updates, a vehicle can be made safer long after its production. By accelerating improvement loops, shortening development cycles, and deploying high-capacity software quickly, we can make cars safer, and faster.

Culture with people at heart To achieve our mission of saving lives and ending traffic accidents we must go where nobody has before. It requires us to venture into the unknown, pioneering new technology and pushing the frontier of autonomous driving. While theres no denying our determination and expertise, we must stand united to succeed. By fostering a culture of support and enablement - a place of psychological safety where all of us can thrive - everything else will follow. We call this a people-at-heart culture. This culture means caring. It means the company cares about me, and we care about one another. It means sharing, so we give each other energy and have fun together. Our culture is also about belonging. Its important to feel at home and that we can be ourselves at work. Finally, a people-at-heart culture means well-being. So, we enjoy the flexibility needed to be and do our best - at work and in life.

Zenseact works proactively to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where individual differences are appreciated and respected.
