Software Engineer IDP

Are you ready to join us in bringing technology in retail and consumer goods to the next level? Do you also have a passion for solving complex problems using modern technologies and who thrive when given the autonomy to do so? If yes, then this could be a great match for you!

At Coop, we craft forward-thinking digital products and services for millions of Norwegians. We leverage technology and data to make shopping smarter and more efficient – allowing our customers to spend time on more important matters. We dare to think differently and with a playful, yet professional approach to problem-solving. We believe that autonomy and diversity in teams lead to the best results.

We are currently looking for a Software Engineer at either senior or staff level to join our small, yet ambitious IDP team. This team is responsible for developing and maintaining high-quality solutions that ensure secure and seamless authentication, authorization, and identity management across our software ecosystem. In this position, you will play a significant role within the team and get the opportunity to work with our cutting-edge technology stack.

We believe your day to day at Coop will look somewhat like this:

• Play an important role in the development of both new and existing functionality on our identity platform used by our customers, internal teams and partners.
• Solve complex software engineering tasks and assist in identifying and resolving non-trivial issues.
• Participate in technical discussions and decisions, set objectives and key results with the rest of the team.
• Be a driving force in the development processes and work closely with other teams and partners.
• Design, develop and maintain high-quality solutions on Coop’s application platform.
• Champion good security practices within the organization and among our partners.
• Contribute to shared tools and services used by the wider engineering community in Coop.

A typical IDP service at Coop is often built using:

• OpenAPI and Protocol Buffers to define APIs.
• REST and gRPC as communications protocols.
• Source code written in Go and TypeScript.
• OCI Image and Docker for packaging.
• Our Kubernetes-based Application Platform in GCP.
• Infrastructure defined with Terraform.

We think you have most of the following:

• A pragmatic approach to languages, having knowledge of open-source languages such as Python, TypeScript, Node, or similar.
• Solid experience writing reliable services in Go.
• Experience with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
• Solid experience with operating in a cloud environment, working with microservice-based architecture in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Experience with designing, developing, and implementing APIs.
• A strong DevOps mindset with good knowledge of tools and technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• You thrive in small, cross-functional teams but also like to work independently.

We believe you also will need this:

• 5+ years of experience with backend software development.
• Higher education within relevant fields (BSc, MSc or similar) or relevant working experience.
• The ability to communicate fluently in English (both oral and written).

We can offer you:

• To be part of an ambitious and diverse team where you get to impact the way of working and contribute to organizational guidelines.
• Excellent opportunities for personal and professional development (e.g., conferences, training, time to work on own projects/upskilling, etc.).
• Modern office spaces at our HQ at Grorud with a good canteen and a training room.
• High degree of flexibility on working hours and location.
• Gear and equipment (Mac/Windows) are provided when you begin your adventure with us.
• Competitive compensation package in addition to good pension and insurance schemes.
• Other benefits like mobile phone and internet coverage, company cabins, and discounts in all Coop stores.
