What's the role?

In Finland, HERE Technologies is a company like no other. We are a global technology company focused on mapping with a strong presence in Europe, the US, and India. We are 6000+ employees with offices in 60 countries.

 

Our Tampere site is a 60+ person strong R&D site, where we work with three product areas: HERE EV Charge Points, HERE Positioning and HERE Tracking. Our people have competencies from DevOps to full-stack software development, from product ownership to people management, and from machine vision to hardcore mathematics. You fit in easily with our international site, and you have career opportunities that are rarely offered by Finnish companies. You get to work with cutting-edge HERE products that we build for large market needs, not just for one customer. We co-develop products with global lead customers and then scale them up for prime time.

 HERE EV Charge Points is a product family used to deliver static and dynamic data on EV charging stations to our customers via APIs and customer-facing applications like HERE Navigation. Data quality is of the highest importance, so we are building processes and algorithms to ensure EV drivers only receive fresh and accurate EV charge point data.  You will have the satisfaction of knowing you are positively impacting the driving experience for millions of EV drivers through your work and thereby supporting the transition to sustainable mobility. Our customers include many of the top automotive companies in the world. You can find out more about HERE EV products on https://www.here.com/solutions/ev-routing-charging-optimization.
