In Coop, we craft forward-thinking digital products and services for millions of Norwegians. We are passionate about how technology and data can be used 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 outcomes. Our deliveries vary from apps and authentication solutions to data products. Do you want to join us in building the future of consumer goods and retail?

To help us achieve our mission, we are currently seeking Software Engineers to join our engineering team. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about solving complex problems using modern technologies and who thrive when given the autonomy to do so.
