Country: Norway

Type: Onsite

Employment: Full-time

Description: About the position

Kartverket develops and manages some of Norway's most important digital joint solutions. Our data and services are used every day by the public sector, business and citizens, and are a central part of the digital infrastructure within property, location information, land use and community planning.

In the coming years, we will carry out major modernization efforts so that our data and services can be shared, used and exploited more effectively - both in the public and private sectors. IT is an important part of this investment, with product-oriented teams, further investment in the cloud and a good balance between internal and external expertise.

We are now strengthening our internal development capacity and are looking for a platform developer who will help build, modernize and further develop our internal application platform SKIP - Statens Kartverks Infrastruktur Plattform.

SKIP is a modern platform based on Kubernetes, and will make it easier for the development teams to develop, deliver our and operate robust services. The platform is an important foundation for our further investment in the cloud, product orientation and automation. As a platform developer, you will have a central role in the further development of SKIP. You will work closely with other developers, platform and operations personnel and other professional environments to create good, secure and user-friendly platform services.
