Job summary

Ardoq in Oslo is seeking a Senior Software Engineer, Clojure, to own large, sometimes loosely defined areas of the codebase, design new capabilities, harden existing ones, and ensure the platform scales while staying true to customer needs.

You'll work with immutable data structures, pure functions, and a REPL-driven workflow, mentoring others and shaping technical decisions, with a strong bias toward ownership and collaboration.

Qualifications

• You've built and maintained production systems in Clojure or another functional, JVM-based language, ideally within a high-growth SaaS environment, and you can talk credibly about the trade-offs you made along the way.
• You think natively in immutable data structures, pure functions, and the REPL-driven workflow that makes Clojure fast to iterate and hard to break. You write code the next person can reason about.
• You can hold multiple constraints and system behaviors in your head at once, and turn that complexity into a clear, structured recommendation.
• You raise technical concerns early, translate complex trade-offs into plain language for the team, and mentor others without making it about being right.

Responsibilities

• Own complex systems: Design, build, and improve services across large, sometimes loosely defined areas of the codebase, applying the same rigor to a quick fix as you would to a new capability.
• Pay down technical debt: Identify high-complexity debt before it becomes a customer problem, and architect solutions that keep it from coming back.
• Debug at the system level: Investigate problems that span multiple services and components, and use what you find to prevent them recurring.
• Raise the bar in code review: Give architecture-level feedback that improves not just the pull request in front of you, but the team's coding standards more broadly.
• Mentor and multiply: Share knowledge openly and help other engineers grow their functional programming craft and system thinking.
