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.</p><p><strong>One purpose, one product.</strong><br>We’re a software company dedicated to revolutionizing car safety.&nbsp;By designing the complete software stack for autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, we’re 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,&nbsp;Sweden, Munich in Germany&nbsp;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.</p><p><strong>Culture with people at heart</strong><br>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 there’s 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 <strong>people-at-heart culture.&nbsp;</strong>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. It’s 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.&nbsp;<br><br></p><figure><img src="https://images.teamtailor-cdn.com/images/s3/teamtailor-production/original-v3/image_uploads/ccb1a96c-4d1a-4c67-a8d9-282685ca9763/original.png" alt="" title="" width="179" height="128" style="width:179px;height:auto;"></figure><p><em>Zenseact works proactively to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where individual differences are appreciated and respected.
