Employment: Full-time

Description: About the position

Do you want to use your developer skills to build digital solutions that are of great importance to society?

Kartverket manages and develops some of Norway's most important digital solutions. Our systems are used by the public sector, businesses and citizens, and are a central part of the digital infrastructure linked to property, location information, land use and community planning.

We will strengthen our internal development capacity and are therefore looking for developers who will contribute to developing, modernizing and managing robust digital solutions over time. With us, you will be part of interdisciplinary product teams that work with complex systems, high professional quality and solutions that actually mean something to society.

We need developers with different profiles. Whether you have expertise in full stack, frontend or backend, we have relevant challenges for you. We have product teams that are ready to welcome committed and ambitious developers early in their careers. If you have the right experience and motivation, it may be relevant to take on a key technical role in the team, for example as tech lead or team leader, or contribute to technical management and architecture work. The most important thing for us is that you have developer skills, motivation to learn and a desire to contribute to product teams that work with socially important digital solutions.

We are particularly looking for you who want to take responsibility, contribute professionally to the team and develop yourself further. For some, this may be an opportunity to grow into key technical roles over time. For others, it may be relevant to take responsibility as a technical sparring partner, tech lead or team leader, depending on competence, motivation and needs in the organisation.

Place of work is preferably at our head office in Hønefoss, but for the right candidate a place of work at our office in Skøyen can be considered.

• Agile working methods and deliveries in multidisciplinary product teams
• Java, Kotlin, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML, CSS, SQL, PostgreSQL, REST APIs, OGC APIs, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Terraform, Google Cloud Platform or Databricks
• Solutions with high requirements for quality, stability, security and management

• Professional responsibility, technical sparring, tech lead tasks, team management or other key roles in development teams
   

The appointed person must be able to be security cleared to and authorized for - RESTRICTED cf. Security Act § 8-2 and § 8-4 and § 8-5. Here you can read more about the process: How you become security cleared - National Security Authority

We are looking for you who:

• Motivated by taking responsibility and wants to develop further, either as a strong professional, technical key person, tech lead or team leader

Personal suitability will be emphasised.

We have an ambition to give all our employees an everyday life where mastery and job satisfaction are highly in focus. You influence the development of society and contribute to the solutions of the future.

With us, you get the opportunity to develop professionally and take on more responsibility over time, either as an experienced developer, technical key person or in other roles that contribute to strong and well-functioning product teams.
