You care about technical quality, but you also understand that good engineering is about tradeoffs, communication, and delivering value. You are comfortable working in an environment where not everything is fully defined yet. You help create structure, bring others along, and make the team better through your technical judgment and collaboration. When you apply, we'd love to get to know the real you. We value authentic applications and are much more interested in your own thoughts, experiences, and motivations than polished AI-generated content. If you want to help build trusted data products that enable better decisions and future AI capabilities across Schibsted Media, we would love to hear from you.
