House of Control is building the future of Contract and Compliance Management

House of Control is building the future of Contract & Compliance Management.

The role is part of our R&D leadership team under the CTO, alongside the Head of Products, Head of AI, Head of Cloud & Architecture, and the CISO. Together we set the direction for technology, product, and innovation at HoC.

As part of the Visma Group, you’ll also join one of the Nordic region’s largest and most forward-leaning tech communities, with access to strong expertise in AI, cloud, security, and product development.

What you’ll do

• Lead and develop a motivated engineering team in a growth phase
• Own the migration from PHP/Laravel to modern .NET
• Ensure stable operations of the legacy platform while we build a modern solution
• Partner closely with our Cloud team to evolve our Kubernetes-based cloud architecture and GitOps delivery model
• Ensure the engineering team builds in line with GDPR and ISO 27001, in close collaboration with the CISO
• Implement and mature AI-first practices together with the Head of AI
• Work closely with the Head of Products to translate product strategy into technical delivery
• Build scalable SaaS solutions that create value for existing and new customers
• Foster a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and AI adoption

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a technology leader in SaaS or enterprise environments
• Strong technical background in .NET and modern cloud architecture
• Hands-on experience with AI/ML in production
• Experience delivering applications that meet high security and reliability requirements
• Solid understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks is a plus (e.g., GDPR, DORA, NIS2)
• Background in technology transformation and migrations
• Ability to balance innovation, quality, and operational stability

With us, you’ll have the opportunity to

• Be a key member of our R&D leadership team
• Define HoC’s technology direction and drive the implementation of our AI strategy
• Work closely with product, marketing, and the business to create high-impact customer value
• Lead a strong engineering organization with real autonomy and influence
• Help shape the future of compliance solutions at international SaaS scale

We offer

• A central role in a company with strong growth and ambitious goals
• The opportunity to set the standard for AI-assisted development in a SaaS product
• Close collaboration with skilled colleagues across product, AI, cloud, and security
• Competitive compensation and flexible work arrangements
• A strong community with 100+ colleagues at HoC—and 15,000 across Visma Group
• Access to a broad tech ecosystem throughout Visma
