Lead Software Engineer

Do you want to be a part of one of the most exciting innovation arenas in Norway?

Telenor Norway is on a digitization journey where IT is becoming increasingly central to our customer offering. We are now looking for a Lead Software Engineer to join the Mitt Telenor team – the team behind one of Telenor’s most important digital products.

Mitt Telenor is a React-Native application written primarily in TypeScript, with native components in Java/Kotlin (Android) and Objective-C/Swift (iOS). The app serves as the main portal for Telenor Norway’s services and plays a vital role in the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Norwegians.

As our new Lead Software Engineer, you will take on the Tech Lead role and help drive the development of user-centric services that make digital life easier and safer. You’ll work closely with our product and design teams, contributing both technically and strategically.

What will your role focus on:

• Lead by Example: Take on the most critical development tasks while also mentoring and uplifting other developers in the team.
• Drive Technical Direction: Shape the technology stack and architectural decisions for the team – and contribute to strategic choices across the organization.
• Collaborate & Prioritize: Work with the product owner to guide team priorities, balancing product development, technical debt, and internal initiatives.
• Inspire & Motivate: Foster team discussions that lead to continuous improvement and innovation.
• Work Cross-Functionally: Be a central part of the product/tech/UX trio and collaborate across Telenor’s professional communities.
• Promote Agile Values: Contribute to a strong DevOps and agile methodology culture.

To succeed in this role, we believe that you have the following qualifications and experience:

• 5+ years of relevant software development experience
• Relevant education (3–5 years) – or equivalent practical experience
• Experience with React or React-Native and app development
• A genuine passion for programming and creating testable, scalable, and reliable software
• Familiarity with agile development practices and DevOps
• Team-player mindset and experience working in cross-functional environments
• Norwegian understanding is a plus, but not required
• Bonus if you’ve worked on open-source projects or personal software projects – we’d love to hear about them!

Why you should choose Telenor:

• A working environment built on trust and strong culture, where your input is valued and you’ll collaborate with experts across disciplines
• A flexible hybrid workday, whether at home, from the cabin, or in our modern office at Tyholt in Trondheim
• Emphasis on learning and development, with dedicated time for self-growth and career progression
• Competitive compensation, very good pension and insurance schemes, generous parental leave, and extra holidays at Christmas and Easter
• Access to company cabins, internal sports clubs, and an on-site fitness center
• A strong sense of community – and the opportunity to build innovative services used by hundreds of thousands of people

• Application deadline: 01.05.2025
• Location: Trondheim (Telenor Tyholt)
