Our culture
The product development teams, consisting mainly of developers and testers but also UX designers, product owners and product managers, enable Sectra to deliver products and services to customers by designing, programming, testing, maintaining, and evaluating software solutions. In short, we ensure that we can deliver products with the right features, which solve the right problems for our end-users so that we can make them awesome.
Our development teams are organized into agile, self-organizing groups who together are responsible for both the design and release of our software. For us, that means designing for safety, security, privacy, robustness, scalability and performance. We want our solutions to be perceived as easy-to-use, future-proof and effective. We pride ourselves in truly understanding our customers’ environments.
The development teams prioritize their work from a backlog of ideas from both our customers and other stakeholders at Sectra, such as support and sales, as well as our own ideas. However, we also put time aside for working on individual ideas. For example, every six weeks, a two-day “RAD Friday” is arranged. This gives each engineer an opportunity to work on their own ideas. The results of this work are often incorporated into our products.

“My journey at Sectra started with a summer job at Sectra Communications. After that I was hooked. There were two reasons for this; the main reason was the people at Sectra and the second was the challenge of intricate technical problems.”
