• Experience with transitioning from traditional on-prem software to multi-tenant SaaS.
• Experience as software engineer and with the product development lifecycle.
• Experience with C# / .NET / Azure.

What we offer you:

• The opportunity to make a significant impact in the further development of a market-leading Norwegian software company with high profitability and a solid financial foundation.
• The chance to lead a cross-functional team and contribute to a collaborative and high-performing culture.
• An impactful position where you will contribute to and drive the continued modernization of our product and transitioning to the cloud-based SaaS model.
• Competitive salary with good insurance- and pension scheme.
• Financial contribution towards health promoting activity (f.ex. gym membership, physio, running club), phone/laptop and free newspaper.
• Great office space with good parking facilities.
