Job description

Senior Software Engineer - Platform & Security

in

Oslo

Who you are

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our product team. We’re 12 engineers, a few designers and a couple of product managers, working as one unit across initiatives that support our product strategy. Together, we figure out where each of us can make the biggest impact, and that shifts as our initiatives change.

You’ll build and ship features like every other engineer on the team. You also bring experience in cloud infrastructure and security, and you’re someone others turn to for input on infrastructure, security and authorization.

You take ownership, get things done and learn new tools quickly. You care about the product and the people who use it. You’re comfortable joining customer and prospect meetings, and you use what you learn to solve their needs.

When you look at a cloud setup, you quickly see how it can improve, and you know how to fix it. Our engineers do a lot of infrastructure work themselves, so you help out, educate and spread the good word on how to make our systems more secure, reliable and well designed.

What you’ll be doing:

Build and ship features across the product as part of our empowered product team.

Make our infrastructure faster, cheaper and more secure.

Raise the bar for how we build and operate.

Work closely with our commercial team in customer and prospect conversations.

What you bring to the team

4+ years of experience building and operating SaaS products.

A product mindset: you care about why we build something as much as how.

Hands-on experience with a major cloud provider. We use Google Cloud.

A good understanding of how services depend on each other, and how to make them reliable, fast and cost-efficient.

A track record of improving the infrastructure you work on.

Strong knowledge of security, authentication and authorization in distributed systems.

Experience with procurement or enterprise ERP systems.

Frontend

React

Golang and TypeScript, GraphQL federation and gRPC

Infrastructure

Serverless on Google Cloud Run and Cloud Functions, Temporal for workflow orchestration

Storage and data

PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery and event-driven pipelines

AI tooling

Whatever works best. Right now, that's mostly Claude Code

What we offer

Real ownership

You ship meaningful work and help shape both what and how we build.

Compensation

Competitive salary and bonus program

Shared success

Opportunity to buy shares and take part in our journey

Growth

Learning budget for personal growth and development

Health insurance and subsidized gym membership

Work environment

Office-first in Kvadraturen, central Oslo, with flexibility for focus days or when life needs you at home
