Want to write code that quietly impacts the lives of millions of people, one ad impression at a time?
Advertising finances a significant part of the news our journalists produce at Schibsted's media companies such as VG,
Aftenposten, Aftonbladet, and Svenska Dagbladet. Behind every ad lies the technology that ensures they are fetched, rendered,
displayed and measured across our websites and apps.
We are looking for a full-stack developer to further our ambitions in making our tools and platforms ever more efficient,
scalable, modular, and similar fanciful adjectives.
The position reports to the Technical Product Manager of the Ads Inventory team, and is based in Oslo - but our department is
spread across our offices in Oslo, Stockholm and Krakow.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
You will help develop and scale the platform that powers Schibsted's adtech stack.
In the past, each editorial team defined where ads should appear, in what formats and sizes, with what targeting, and under what
conditions. Today, this is governed by a growing set of rules and stakeholders across Schibsted, and the systems behind it are
complex. Our job is to turn that complexity into a platform that is as simple, scalable and modular as possible.
Our goal is a platform that any online newspaper can rely on to smoothly run their advertising and generate revenue, where changes
to configurations and formats are handled through our own tooling - not a developer's inbox.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
Develop and maintain the tools and services used to configure advertising across Schibsted's websites and apps
Build modern web interfaces for managing complex advertising configurations
Contribute to SDKs, libraries and shared components used by other teams
Investigate technical issues across applications, SDKs and browser environments
Use AI-assisted tools to explore, prototype and deliver solutions
WHO ARE YOU?
You are either an experienced developer, or a developer who has recently graduated but has a strong drive and big ambitions, who
likes the idea of working in the biggest Nordic news organization. We strongly believe news is an integral part of our modern
democracy and way of life, and our ad technology is what fuels all of it. So in a sense, this job is the saviour of democracy. At
least a small part of it.
WE BELIEVE YOU HAVE...
Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and JavaScript, including things like Observers and Custom Events
Experience building modern web interfaces using React, HTML and CSS
Experience with backend things like Node.js and Express.js
A deep understanding of how iframes and cross-window communication work
An interest in learning, or have experience with, React Query and AWS services like S3, CloudFront, SQS, DynamoDB
Some knowledge of building libraries, packages or shared components used by other developers or teams
The ability to take ownership of investigating unclear issues and driving them forward
YOU NEED TO HAVE...
Work and residence permit in Norway
- Norwegian language skills on a level where you comfortably read Aftenposten, VG or other Norwegian news media in your daily
life.
WHAT WE OFFER
Ownership over systems that shape how a major Nordic media house runs its advertising
Room to use AI and new tools to explore and prototype, not just ship tickets
A small, autonomous, agile team inside a large company
We primarily work from the office, but there's nothing wrong with putting on your headphones and finding a quiet corner. This role
is based in Oslo, with colleagues and like-minded developers across our offices in Oslo, Stockholm, and Krakow.
