Job summary

Surfact AS in Oslo, Norway, is building a cloud-native Azure platform to support a smart tracker fleet. We own the cloud, ingestion, data, and governance, and we push AI-assisted development to production while maintaining strong reliability and cost controls.

Qualifications

• Experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure on Azure or other major cloud.
• Fluency with infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability.
• Strong Postgres, SQL, and time-series data modelling skills.
• Experience or conviction regarding AI-assisted development.
• Nice to have IoT/telemetry, cellular (LTE-M, NB-IoT), ISO 27001, Python, and cloud cost engineering.

Responsibilities

• Own the Azure cloud platform end to end: architecture, ingestion, data, cost, and the calls about what we run and why.
• Push AI-assisted development further than most dare and define guardrails for production infrastructure.
• Scale ingestion and the data tier for a fast-growing fleet with controlled cloud costs.
• Make reliability unremarkable with no silent data loss and proactive monitoring.
• Grow the data platform so fleet or shipment queries resolve quickly.

Job description

• Sektor Privat

Own and scale the Azure cloud platform, manage data ingestion, and drive AI-assisted infrastructure development for a smart tracker fleet.

• Experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure (Azure or other major cloud)
• Fluency with infrastructure as code, CI/CD, and observability
• Strong Postgres, SQL, and time-series data modelling skills
• Experience or conviction regarding AI-assisted development
• Nice to have: IoT/telemetry, cellular (LTE-M, NB-IoT), ISO 27001, Python, and cloud cost engineering
• Competitive salary, good pension, and share options
• Flexible hours and hybrid work (about 50% at the Kjelsås office)
• Choice of tools and best-in-class AI tools with generous quotas

Own the cloud platform that makes cargo talk

We make cargo talk. Why? Because a third of all food and pharma produce is wasted on the way to consumers, and we're out to change that. Our smart tracker Emma - made from recycled ocean plastic - travels with temperature-sensitive shipments for enterprise customers in food, pharma and seafood across 20+ countries. We're looking for a seasoned engineer to own the platform behind it, and to build it for ten times the fleet we run today.

What you'll do

Own our Azure cloud platform end to end: architecture, ingestion, data, cost, and the calls about what we run and why.

Push AI-assisted development further than most dare. Claude writes most of our code and a human owns every merge - you'll define how far that goes for production infrastructure, and build the guardrails.

Scale ingestion and the data tier for a fast-growing fleet - without per-device cloud cost rising with it.

Make reliability unremarkable: no reading silently lost, late and backfilled data handled gracefully, and monitoring that spots trouble before a customer does.

Grow the data platform so questions about the fleet or a single shipment are answered in seconds, not filed as tickets.

Our stack

A cloud-native platform on Azure: event-driven IoT ingestion, serverless services, and both operational and analytical data stores. CI/CD carries much of what we ship, a human reviews every change, and turning more of our infrastructure into code is a job we want you to own. AI runs through development, operations and analysis, and we are leaning into what is now just possible. We're ISO 27001 certified and our customers are audited, so security shapes real engineering decisions. We'll go through the details with you in the interview.

What you bring

Deep experience in building and operating production cloud infrastructure - Azure, or another major cloud and the appetite to go Azure-deep.

Real conviction about AI-assisted development, with the judgement to know when to slow down and verify.

A curious, fast-learning mind — being a jack-of-all-trades is a real plus here.

Fluency with infrastructure as code, CI/CD and observability.

Strong Postgres and SQL, and sound instincts for modelling time-series data at volume.

Nice to have: IoT or telemetry at fleet scale, cellular (LTE-M, NB-IoT), ISO 27001/SOC 2 environments, Python, and cloud cost engineering.

What we offer

Competitive salary, good pension, and share options — own a piece of what you build.

Flexible hours and location; a welcoming office at Kjelsås Stasjon with parking and good transit. Our team tends to spend about half their time at the HQ.

Your choice of tools, plus best-in-class AI tools with generous quotas.

This job is based in Oslo, Norway. Norwegian/EEA work permit required. Relocation support is not provided.

• CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery)
• Infrastructure as code (IaC)
• Skyarkitektur

Born in Norway. Built for the world.
Surfact transforms temperature-sensitive logistics with sensor technology built for the cold chain. We are backed by strong partners and we cut waste and safeguard vital cargo, shipment after shipment.
We build our own electronics, our own firmware, our own software. It is all engineered, built and assembled in Norway to survive the harshest environments on earth.

We hire generalists with depth, give them real ownership, and trust them to make decisions. The work is serious, with pharma, food, lives and livelihoods at stake, but the way we do it is grounded, honest and unmistakably Norwegian.
