Software Developer

About the job

As a software engineer at Dignio, you’ll play a key role in developing, maintaining, and enhancing both new and existing backend services—while also contributing to the frontend where needed. This role is primarily backend-focused, but we value engineers with a grasp of modern frontend development and a willingness to collaborate across the stack.

Dignio delivers critical healthcare services to patients and professionals. This demands the highest standards for security, availability, and stability. You’ll work in a cross-functional team of product leads, designers, and engineers, using technologies like Python, FastAPI, React, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS.

Expect to be challenged daily—your work will have a real impact on the lives of patients across the globe.

We are seeking someone with 4–6 years of professional experience, with a strong backend orientation. This is an on-site position in Oslo.

• Comfort working in a cloud environment (preferably AWS).

• Proficiency with tools like Git, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Commitment to clean, maintainable, and scalable code.

• Ability to reason about architecture and communicate trade-offs clearly.

• Understanding of design patterns (e.g. dependency injection, service layers).

• Experience with legacy systems and improving them through best practices.

• A proactive mindset and ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Qualifications

• Relevant higher education in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

• Demonstrated full-cycle software development experience.
