Senior DevOps Engineer

Senior DevOps Engineer at Ardoq

Build the high-performance infrastructure that powers the "Digital Twin" for the world’s most complex enterprises.

The Ardoq Story

Ardoq is one of Norway’s most exciting scale-ups—a truly global company built out of Oslo. We are a SaaS platform that helps organizations understand, manage, and evolve their complex digital landscape. By providing a dynamic, collaborative "digital twin" of their business, we connect systems, people, and processes to drive better decision-making and accelerate digital transformation.

Today, we help some of the world’s most complex organizations (like ExxonMobil and British Telecom) gain clarity in a changing world. We are backed by leading global tech investors, including EQT and One Peak, giving us the stability of a mature company with the speed and soul of a startup.

About the Role

Why this role matters

The enterprises we serve are navigating the most complex digital transformation challenges they have ever faced. The infrastructure that underpins our platform isn't just background noise — it is the foundation that lets us turn fragmented enterprise data into connected, always-current intelligence. As our Senior DevOps Engineer, you will own a critical part of that foundation.

This is not a steady-state role. Ardoq is scaling fast, and the systems you work with are growing in complexity alongside us. You will be the kind of engineer who sees a brittle deployment pipeline and feels compelled to fix it properly, not just patch it. The same goes for the infrastructure underneath it — you are comfortable going deep, whether that means a shell on a node, a packet capture, or an incident that requires actual understanding rather than a restart. You will pay down technical debt with the same conviction you bring to building new capabilities, and you will leave the system meaningfully healthier than you found it.

At Ardoq, you won't just follow a script. You will have the influence to shape technical direction and the ownership to see your solutions through to production.

What you’ll do

• Design, implement, and improve infrastructure and deployment systems across large, well-defined scopes — with a clear eye on reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

• Investigate and resolve complex, multi-layered infrastructure problems that span multiple components and environments.

• Lead architecture-level contributions to CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, observability, and security posture.

• Proactively pay down high-complexity technical debt and design systems that prevent future issues from accumulating.

• Collaborate across engineering, product, and security to align on requirements, evaluate solutions, and ensure cross-team technical coherence.

• Share knowledge openly — mentoring engineers on DevOps practices, tooling, and system thinking.

• Contribute to recruitment, onboarding, and process optimisation within the engineering team.

On a typical day, you will

You’ll start by collaborating across disciplines to evaluate trade-offs for a new scalable feature. By midday, you might be performing system-level debugging on a multi-layered problem affecting core components. Your afternoon is spent building the intelligent automations that eliminate manual busywork for the whole team. You wrap up by providing direct, caring feedback in a code review, ensuring we balance speed with maintainable patterns.

Who you are

We are looking for an engineer who brings deep technical capability, clear judgment, and a genuine drive to improve the systems they work with.

• Advanced Software and Infrastructure Development: You design and implement reliable, scalable infrastructure across large system areas, and improve existing patterns to strengthen long-term maintainability and performance.

• System-Level Debugging: You investigate and resolve complex, multi-layered problems affecting multiple components. You use deep system understanding to guide troubleshooting and prevent recurrence.

• Architecture and Design Contribution: You evaluate and shape architectural decisions, identifying risks, trade-offs, and future implications — proposing solutions that support scalability, reliability, and performance at scale.

• Technical Debt Reduction: You pay down high-complexity debt and design systems that avoid accumulating new issues. You lead technical clean-up efforts that strengthen long-term system health.

• Collaboration and Cross-Team Knowledge: You work effectively across disciplines to align on requirements and solution design, and you understand how changes in your domain ripple across the product.

• AI Fluency: You actively explore and adopt AI tools to improve the quality, efficiency, and reliability of your engineering work — and you can distinguish where AI adds genuine leverage from where it doesn't.

The "Ardoq Way"

We live by three values — Bold, Caring, and Driven — that define how we work, how we treat each other, and how we win.

• BOLD: We continuously raise the bar for ourselves and each other, starting from a place of "what if I could?" We act decisively, even when the information isn't complete, and choose forward motion and learning over waiting for the perfect answer.

• CARING: We care enough to be candid. That means delivering direct, kind, and timely feedback that helps our teammates grow. We operate as one team — sharing knowledge openly, celebrating each other's wins, and putting collective success ahead of individual ones.

• DRIVEN: At Ardoq, everyone has a stake in the outcome — including stock options. We act like owners: measuring success by impact rather than effort, saying "no" to distractions, and staying focused on the highest-value work at pace.
  

Why Ardoq?

We believe that high performance is powered by wellbeing. You’ll have access to a competitive package that supports performance, wellbeing, and long-term success.

• Employee Stock Options - share in Ardoq’s success as we grow together

• 25 days annual leave offered globally

• Enhanced parental leave available globally to support you and your family

• Retirement and insurance benefits, including travel, health, disability and life insurance

• Annual learning budget to support your growth and development
