About the role

Would you like to be part of a dedicated DevOps team that builds desktop and cloud software solutions for strength assessment of offshore and maritime structures?

You will also be involved in rewriting GeniE to a plugin architecture.

Modelling and Analysis is part of the Software Engineering ROS, which is responsible for software development, software technology, architecture, testing, and operations of advanced engineering software like Sesam and Bladed. The Product Centre consists of 60+ dedicated developers and engineers in multiple locations such as Oslo, Bristol, Shanghai and Gdynia. You will be part of a motivated team consisting of domain experts, professional software engineers, software testers, product managers and technical support engineers who pride themselves in delivering high-quality software. You will get the opportunity to solve hard and interesting problems.
