About Nofence
Nofence is a pioneering Norwegian scale-up backed by prominent Norwegian and international investors. We are at the forefront of modern agricultural technology, with a mission to revolutionize livestock management. Nofence has developed a cutting-edge virtual fencing system that uses advanced GPS technology and intelligent collars to replace traditional physical barriers.
We are a customer-centric, product-led organization. Understanding our customers’ needs better than anyone else is our winning recipe. Our mission goes beyond technology — we’re creating meaningful solutions that contribute to sustainable agriculture, while fostering a company culture where talented professionals can make a real difference.
About The Team
At Nofence, we are not your typical 9-to-5 gig. We are a dynamic scale-up, where dedication and innovation are the norm, offering great opportunities for your personal and professional growth. We are passionate about product development, animal welfare, farmer welfare and sustainable agriculture. We genuinely believe our grazing technology is the biggest technological change in agriculture since the tractor!
The Product & Engineering team is currently a team of 30 employees. We are excited to hire a skilled CPTO that also embodies the collaborative and friendly spirit of Nofence. We believe in seeing results fast and with us your work won't be lost in the bureaucratic shuffle. You'll witness the immediate impact of your contributions in real-time!
Be part of a team that’s always looking forward, where your ideas and creativity are not only welcomed but also essential to our mutual success!
About The Application
Are you ready to change pasture? After all, the grass is sometimes greener on the other side. Also, just like the soil needs a balanced diversity of nutrients to thrive, a company needs a diversity of hearts and minds. We are an equal opportunity employer!
We will evaluate candidates continuously.
This search is being conducted in partnership with our recruitment partners at Safemind.
Nofence is proud to have built the world’s first virtual fence for livestock. Our product represents the beginning of a tremendous shift in farming towards a sustainable future for agriculture.
