Backend Engineer

Salary Competitive

As a member of the team you will not only write efficient and well-structured software, but also contribute actively to software quality through automated tests and code reviews. You will share knowledge of tools and technologies and recommend best practices. Instead of struggling with outdated legacy code, your work should actively shape our products now and in the future.

We believe in a small, dynamic and lean organisation with cross-functional, autonomous teams, but we make sure we are aligned across the entire organisation. This puts a lot of pressure on only getting the top talents in every position. This position offers a unique opportunity for you to take part in our vision.

And we think you’ll fit in Nomono if you:

Are curious and entrepreneurial, a hands-on, solution oriented do-er!
Have a track record of pursuing self-directed or open-source side projects

We offer

An opportunity to take part in an exciting startup journey
A chance of great responsibility and opportunity to influence our future product
A competitive salary and stock options program to take part in our future success (our salary policy is closely linked to the Tekna salary statistics)
A great and very competent team, to lean on and support - a work family with passionate co-workers
A key role in building a strong global brand
Access to a great office in Trondheim

Our goal is to pay people well and create the best place in the world to work.

Location

Most of us work out of our office in Trondheim, as we believe the best culture and work emerges from real-world connection and interaction between people. However, your physical location is secondary to your passion for delivering exceptional work. If we believe you’re a great fit with our team and culture, we’ll go far to get you onboard.

About the company

At Nomono, we are committed to transparency, to all voices being heard and to having fun at work. We believe that boring stuff should be automated, that things can always improve and that a human touch is fundamental to a great customer experience.

Nomono is about to change podcasting as we know it with disruptive hardware and software. We’re a Norwegian tech-startup and lucky to be building a global brand where customer satisfaction is a key ingredient. Many challenges exist between recording and publishing. Getting ready and setting up equipment can feel like a time drain. Cables, microphones, and obtrusive stands get in the way of natural conversations. Laborious editing and audio cleanup distract you from being creative with the content. Faced with heaps of hurdles and complexities, even the most experienced creators sacrifice quality when crafting a story. We have created a portable recording studio that offers high quality audio recording and processing, consisting of a compact and easy to use recording kit (microphones, recording unit, charging station) controlled with a mobile app, as well as a web app supplying the ecosystem for processing it (offered as a SaaS solution). Recordings automatically sync to the cloud, and through machine learning you can clean out the sounds, remove background noise etc. A lot of great feedback from users, backing by large investors, and recently receiving the Innovation award in the audio category at SXSW 2023 is a great proof point that we are on the right track! Our main customers are broadcasting houses, agencies, journalists and independent podcasters, and our products are currently mainly shipped to customers in the US. We are a team of 37 (and growing) with expertise across signal processing, acoustics, consumer electronics and media production. Our headquarters is based in Trondheim, and we have a satellite office in Oslo and New York. We build hardware and software that is intuitive, collaborative and easy to use while delivering exceptional audio quality. Our vision is to make voices heard. We imagine a new way of audio production that is intuitive, creative, and collaborative from start to finish. We remove barriers between people and technology, producers and engineers, as well as hosts and guests — connecting the dots between stories and listeners. At Nomono, we are committed to transparency, to all voices being heard and to having fun at work. We try to live our values, and have created different squads to promote this: - Sustainability squad - Privacy squad & compliance board - Diversity & Inclusion squad We believe that boring stuff should be automated, that things can always improve and that a human touch is fundamental to a great customer experience. We’d love for you to join us and help them out, wherever they are and on whatever channel they want to connect. We plan to be the best in class and hope that you share our ambition..
