Senior Backend Developer

Do you want a high degree of professional freedom, space for creativity, shaping your own work day while coding in a slick developer environment?

Of course you do. Join our young(ish) product team of developers, designers, and machine learning engineers while we try to create the next big platform for bot and eCommerce conversion technology. Right in the centre of Oslo, Grünerløkka.

We've put a lot of work into keeping the back of the house as tidy as the front of the house so that we can have fast paced feature development. That means having a good developer experience for our team, maintainable code, updated libraries, lots of automation, and ease of deployment. 

Who are you? 

You have strong and varied technical experience, and you are interested in learning new stuff. You have opinions on how to do things right, but you also respect others’ opinions, and can be diplomatic in your argumentation.

You are also an easy-going and social person who appreciates and enjoys a good working atmosphere, and likes to have fun at work.
