Always dreamt of doing things differently? Join us at Norse Coders, Norse Atlantic Airways' tech and innovation unit, where we work on Norse's future competitive advantages to become a challenger airline.
We think differently and we act differently, that's why as an airline we are headquartered in a town with no airport. We are not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and test new ideas. We are a data-driven product organization powered by a team of developers, product managers, data scientists and a bunch of potatoes*.
If these prospects inspire you, then we want to talk to you!
*potatoes, a Norwegian term for people who can do a little bit of everything.
As the Head of Engineering in our agile and dynamic product organization, Norse Coders, you will lead and inspire a team of talented software engineers (both in-house and external), driving the development of hypotheses-driven features that will be put through a rigorous testing philosophy. You will play a pivotal role in overseeing the technical direction and execution of projects, ensuring alignment with our Norse and Norse Coders' vision and objectives.
Joining Team Norse is more than getting a job. It is all about belonging.
