We believe in autonomous teams, continuous learning, and creating an inclusive environment where every voice is heard and valued.\nAbout the Team & Role\nYou will join the Terminal Hardware & Insight team, a cross-functional product team consisting of three software engineers, one product manager, and one engineering manager who take ideas from concept to production.\nWe build and support the software and hardware integrations that power over 40 terminals across Europe. Our mission is to make daily life easier for terminal staff through smart apps, manual sorting tools, real-time dashboards, and advanced monitoring tools. We’re all about leveraging data, cutting out manual headaches, and giving operational teams the real-time visibility they need to run smarter and faster every single day.\nAs a Senior Backend Engineer, you will have ample space to influence our architecture and working practices while serving as a mentor and guide to fellow team members.\nWhat You Will Do\nBuild & Scale Backend Services: Design clean, scalable data structures and microservices that handle complex logistics workflows and hardware telemetry.\n\nShape the Architecture: Actively participate in technical discussions and help define the architectural direction of our platform alongside your team.\n\nUser-Centric Focus: Work closely with product managers and stakeholders to deeply understand real user needs and translate them into effective technical solutions.\n\nMentorship & Knowledge Sharing: Share your experience, conduct constructive code reviews, and foster an environment where junior and mid-level engineers can thrive and grow.\n\nOur Tech Environment\nWe choose our tools based on what best solves the challenges at hand. In our stack, you’ll find:\nBackend: Kotlin, Java, Go\n\nDatabases & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Google Pub/Sub, Protobuf\n\nInfrastructure: GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines\n\nFrontend Touchpoints: React, TypeScript, GraphQL / REST APIs\n\nMobile: Kotlin Multiplatform\n\nYou don’t need to know every technology in our stack on day one-we value your problem-solving ability, curiosity, and adaptability over checking every single box.\nWho You Are\nWe are looking for someone who thrives in a collaborative, ego-free environment where team members support one another. We imagine you have:\nProven experience in backend development within a modern, distributed environment (e.g., Go, Kotlin, or Java).\n\nExperience working with relational databases and designing scalable APIs.\n\nA solid understanding of the full software development lifecycle-from writing clean code to cloud infrastructure and operational monitoring.\n\nA product-minded approach: you view technology as a tool to create genuine value for the end user.\n\nAn empathetic and clear communication style-you enjoy explaining technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical colleagues.\n\nProfessional fluency in English (spoken and written).\n\nBonus (not required): Experience with event-driven architectures or working with IoT/hardware integrations.\n\nWhat We Offer\nWe want you to succeed, be recognized for your impact, and maintain a healthy work-life balance:\nFlexibility & Balance: Hybrid working model with flexible working hours, allowing you to structure your day around what works best for you.\n\nPsychological Safety & Growth: An open culture where learning from mistakes is encouraged, continuous professional growth is supported, and career development is prioritized.\n\nComprehensive Compensation: A competitive salary package, pension contributions, health insurance, and wellness allowances.\n\nGreat Workplace Culture: A bright, modern office in Risløkka (Oslo) with catered meals and social events for those who want to participate.\n\nDiversity & Inclusion\nWe firmly believe that diverse teams build better products. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome, respected, and empowered regardless of background, gender, or life experience.\nEven if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications listed above but are passionate about backend engineering and team collaboration, please apply anyway! We are most interested in who you are and what unique perspective you can bring to our team.\nReady to build something impactful with us?
