Java Backend Developer (Hybrid, Oslo, NO)

Giant Leap Technologies AS Logo

Do you want to develop solutions that are used by over 1.5 million motorists? We are looking for a Java backend developer to join our team at Skøyen in Oslo who will help further develop Permit, a central part of our Parksphere platform. With us, you will be part of an autonomous product team with responsibility for both architecture, technology and further development of an established product.

At Giant Leap, we develop cloud-based solutions that make parking easier for both operators and motorists. Through the Parksphere product platform, we digitize and automate the entire parking journey in more than ten European countries.

As part of the Permit team, you will be responsible for one of our most important solutions. Permit is a business-critical solution that handles digital parking permits, zone parking and subscription solutions for municipalities, businesses and parking companies in several European countries. The solution is built in Java with Spring, uses Hibernate/JPA against a relational database and runs on AWS. It is used every day by both businesses that manage parking and motorists who expect a simple and seamless experience. You will be a central part of an autonomous development team with real influence on both architecture, technology and product development. Together, you have a long-term responsibility for the solutions you build and further develop.

Why choose Giant Leap?

With us, you get the best of both worlds. Giant Leap is an agile and product-oriented technology environment with around 90 employees at Skøyen, at the same time as we are part of Visma. This gives you short decision-making paths, great influence and close collaboration in everyday life, combined with the security, professional environments and development opportunities that come with one of Europe's leading software companies.

Your everyday life with us

  • You will be involved in further developing, modernizing and operating Permit, with a focus on robustness, security and scalability.
  • You further develop and optimize our cloud infrastructure in AWS, and help ensure that the solution utilizes cloud services in an efficient way.
  • You'll work closely with product managers, UX designers, and others in a multidisciplinary, autonomous team.
  • You contribute to good code structure, good architecture choices and solid development principles.
  • You use AI-assisted and agentic development as a natural part of the development work.

We are looking for you

We are looking for you who have a few years of experience as a backend developer and a solid technical foundation, and who are also committed to creating good solutions for our customers. To succeed in the role, we believe that you have:

  • At least 3 years of relevant experience with backend development in Java.
  • Good knowledge of Spring.
  • Experience with Hibernate/JPA and SQL, and understanding of how data is modeled, indexed and extracted efficiently.
  • Good understanding of REST APIs and relational databases.
  • Experience with AWS or another cloud platform. Containers and serverless are a plus.
  • Experience with agile working methods, and a conscious relationship to test-driven development and security.
  • Good communication skills, and you enjoy discussing and further developing technical solutions with the team.
  • Knowledge of front-end development is an advantage.

Practical framework for the role

Some prerequisites must be in place for the role to work well, both for you and for us:

  • You can work from the office at Skøyen. We appreciate being together, and we are at the office in Oslo at least 2-3 days a week. Therefore, the role is best suited for those who already live in the Oslo area or are planning to move here.
  • You speak and write Norwegian (or another Scandinavian language) and English well. You will be working closely with colleagues and customers in both languages, so this is a requirement for the role.

We offer

  • A central and exciting role in a product with great societal benefit and over 1.5 million end users.
  • Competitive terms, including good pension and insurance schemes through Visma.
  • Modern offices in Karenslyst allé on Skøyen with a good canteen, barista and roof terrace.
  • Flexible working hours, and the opportunity to work from home on the days you are not in the office.
  • An inclusive working environment with high ceilings, strong professional environments, hackathons and social events.

Send us your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile. We look forward to hearing from you.
