About The Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Developer to take full ownership of our SCADA platform — from architecture and development to day-to-day operations. The role offers the opportunity to work across both operational and strategic initiatives while helping to define the future of the organization's technology landscape.
This is a high-impact, hands-on role. You will assess and optimize the current setup, remediate risks, modernize legacy architecture, and drive the continued evolution of the platform with a high degree of autonomy. In addition, you will contribute to broader IT automation and AI initiatives across the organization.
You will join a collaborative IT team, which is acting as a business enablement for the entire company. The team's responsibilities span from IT operations to driving the company's AI strategy. You will work closely with our Instrumentation and Controls, Operations, and Analytical Asset Management teams, becoming the internal technical authority on industrial software systems and OT/IT integration.
This position is based in Hellerup, Denmark.
