• Stakeholders: You'll work closely with internal developers, the wider infrastructure team, and stakeholders across our Nordic marketplaces.
• Communication: Communication is central—you'll collaborate daily with developers, participate in incident response, and help teams understand platform capabilities.
• Observability: You'll help teams understand their systems — building dashboards, refining alerts, and improving logging so developers can troubleshoot faster and ship with confidence.
• AI-assisted workflows: We actively use AI tools to enhance how we work - from troubleshooting and automation to learning and documentation. We're always exploring how to leverage these tools better. You’ll help shape that.

A few words from Birgir Stefansson, Engineering Manager

“ We're a team within Vend’s Delivery Platforms, distributed across Oslo, Stockholm, and Aarhus, supporting developers across FINN, Blocket, DBA, Tori, and our other Nordic marketplaces. Our team brings together different backgrounds, experiences, and cultures — and that diversity makes us stronger. Being distributed means clear communication is how we work: pairing on solving problems, sharing context openly, and celebrating each other's wins. If you're curious, collaborative, and want to help shape how hundreds of developers ship code every day, I'd love to hear from you.”
