Full-Stack Developer for VR app changing the way we work

Naer Oslo Full-time
Salary NOK 550,000 - NOK 850,000
Equity To be negotiated

Have you read Harry Potter? Naer is building the Room of Requirement for flow-state collaboration, and we're now looking for a Full-stack developer to join us on this journey.

At Naer, we’re creating VR app for fun and focused workshops. Our goal is to help people think better together, by spending more time in the flow-state, a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity. Research shows that people are 5x more productive in the flow-state, and can do some of their best and most inspired work in less time. By offering a place for undistracted work using VR, Naer will lift teams into the flow-state faster, more often, and longer.

We are a small team with our main office at Majorstua in the heart of Oslo. But we also have remote colleagues, and all company communication is in English. 

 

About the role

As a full-stack developer for Naer, you will be an integral part of our dev team, working on building and maintaining our app, including tasks in both front-end (UI/UX design, responsive webapp) and backend (database and API-design). We work with Next.JS, Vercel and Django, and your focus will be on writing readable and testable code.

You'll be creating wonders in our frontend and backend, and make the transition from physical to virtual as smooth as possible with really, really great integrations.

 

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain our app

  • Optimise UI/UX design and responsiveness

  • Build and maintain APIs

  • Maintain database and infrastructure

  • Work with the rest of our team to ensure our product is something we can be proud of

     

Who we're looking for

We’re looking for a web & backend developer, so "full stack", except you know, VR. We imagine the ideal candidate has a couple of years experience working with responsive web app development, and a keen interest in joining a company that makes a true difference for users of our product.

Requirements:

  • Experienced web & backend developer (full stack)

  • Knowledge of Next.JS, Vercel and Django

  • 2+ years experience with responsive web app development

  • Ability to write readable and testable code

  • Experience with databases & api-design

Bonus points for:

  • Understanding of UX/UI design

  • Passion and pride for building great products you are proud of

  • A great sense of humour

     

Most importantly, we're looking for people who care. Care for each other, care about what we’re doing, and who care about getting somewhere. If you’re clever, comfortable making decisions with others and a good person, that’s pretty much it. We are used to, and take pride in our ability to work remotely, so location is not a requirement.

Do you see yourself working at Naer, but are all about the frontend or the backend? You can still send an application and say hi!

 

What we offer

  • An opportunity to help teams get into a state of flow on demand, and to shape new ways of being creative, thinking together and collaborating with a wide spectre of new technologies.

  • A competitive startup salary and healthy stock compensation package, with monthly vesting after a six month cliff.

  • Great modern offices at Majorstua, surrounded by other great startups (we call it “the jungle”).

  • The option to work remotely, from wherever. Oh the irony if this wasn’t the case.

  • A fancy pair of colorful Crocs and great, great merch.

 

Working at Naer

What it's like working at Naer? We share some common beliefs with our users.

- First, there are always better ways of working. People who are different think better together. We need diversity in perspectives as we build our team.

- Second, we don't care where people live. Be wherever. Whatever works, works.

- Lastly, life is too good to spend all day in VR. Naer uses VR to help people get the most out of their time at work, so they can have more time for life.

We’re a small team, and will be for a while. But we think that’s a good thing. Think of what Notion did, but for collaboration, - we can stay small and still make something brilliant.

We're also a design driven company. Meaning we believe in people first. Therefore it doesn't matter what role you have, you will still learn from our customers and engage with our community.

At Naer, we are creating a place that helps teams spend more time in the flow state, by building a VR/AR application for fun, focused workshops. The term “flow state” describes a mental state in which a person is completely focused on a single task or activity, and the result shows that people are 5x more productive and do some of their best and most inspired work in less time. By offering a place for undistracted work using VR, where teams can feel connected and have fun, Naer will lift teams into the flow-state faster, more often, and longer. Creating flow requires delight in every aspect of our product. We need super simple-interaction design, which is definitely not a solved problem for VR and AR. We need high performance features that don’t sputter and cough to break your immersion. We need playful and friendly visuals, taking people to a place of focused imagination, rather than a dreary grey corporate office knock-off. VR is the tool and not the goal - Complements are better than replacements. No one should spend their full day in VR. Life’s too good for that. Instead we’re making integrations with tools like Miro and Figma, that help people transition in and out of VR when it makes sense. Like switching from your computer to your phone and back again. Naer is about offering a place to go to when you really want to think better, alone or together. In other words, we're creating a collaboration platform for workshops, that just happens to be in VR/AR. Naer [næ:r] originates from Nær, the Norwegian word for closeness 💜 Our company was founded in 2021, and we are a small team with 3 founders, and the ambition to be 10 in the near future. What it's like working at Naer? We will continue to be a small team for a while, but we think that’s a good thing. Think of what Notion did, but for collaboration. We can stay small and still make something brilliant. We're also a design driven company. Meaning we believe in people first. Therefore it doesn't matter what role you have, you will still learn from our customers and engage with our community. Our team work from our main office at Majorstua in the heart of Oslo, surrounded by other great startups (we call it “the jungle”). We also have remote colleagues, and all company communication is in English. Everyone in our team believes in what we do, that improving how we work will lead to better productivity and higher work satisfaction. Naer is built for people like us, explorers in search of better ways of working, that believe teams are more productive when they feel connected and have fun. We share some common beliefs with our users. - First, there are always better ways of working. People who are different think better together. We need diversity in perspectives as we build our team. - Second, we don't care where people live. Be wherever. Whatever works, works. - Lastly, life is too good to spend all day in VR. Naer uses VR to help people get the most out of their time at work, so they can have more time for life. We’re looking to build our team from the ground, with warm, clever people with healthy ambitions. Most importantly, we're looking for people who care. Care for each other, care about what we’re doing, and who care about getting somewhere. If you’re clever, comfortable making decisions with others and a good person, that’s pretty much it. If you think this sounds as exciting as we do, then check out our open positions, and don't hesitate to send us an application. We look forward to hearing from you!
