If you're a passionate backend engineer skilled in building resilient, secure, and scalable cloud applications, we have an opportunity for you ✨
In Shortcut, we make apps (such as Ruter, REMA 1000’s Æ, Vipps, BankID, DNB, and Cutters) that simplify the everyday lives of millions of people. 🚀
We are a team of 5 located in Oslo and Bergen with different backgrounds. We create and maintain backend systems in the cloud. We collaborate, innovate, take initiative, and have fun together. Join us in shaping the future of mobile apps.
What will you do?
You’ll get a chance to work on both small-scale and large-scale app projects, challenging and expanding your knowledge of the entire app development process. Together with Project Managers, UI/UX designers, and other developers, you’ll make our customers' visions a reality.
We always aim to create clean, well-structured, and manageable work. We also participate in the estimating-, planning-, and prioritization process for new projects.
Simply put: Write code, talk to and understand customers, make choices, create solutions, develop yourself, and contribute to change, improvement, and simplification. Hurray! 🥳
