Principal Engineer

• Have spent many years as a software engineer, building digital products.

• Previously held technical leadership roles like staff/principal engineer, architect, tech lead or similar.

• Used to navigate with high trust and high agency

• Very good communication skills. Even though we work with technology, most problems we encounter are interpersonal

• Understanding systems thinking. Being able to zoom out of technical problems to understand the bigger context and the impact of tradeoffs of a technical solution

• You like to contribute hands on. Writing code and working with cloud infrastructure. As we work with many different tech stacks, supported by AI, your favorite coding language matters less. However, much of what we do is built on GCP services, exposed via CDN and generated with Javascript or Typescript.

• Have become fluent in using AI agents and understand how their introduction is changing the software development lifecycle.

Experience of working in media and publishing is a plus.

Speaking one or more Nordic language is helpful but not required.
