Junior Software Engineer

Company Description AutoVarva is a Swedish marketplace that makes it easy for vehicle owners to find the right car workshop for services, oil changes, and repairs of varying complexity.

For workshops, AutoVarva offers a new channel for qualified requests from customers who have already specified their car, location, and issues, reducing time spent on calls and inquiries. The workshop provides a transparent quote, the customer books directly, and the workshop remains the contracting party.
