Senior Software Engineer (Copenhagen/Aarhus)

Salary Competitive

Lenus is looking for a new Senior Software Engineer for our Copenhagen or Aarhus Office!

Join the health revolution!

At Lenus we are fundamentally energized by our shared vision: making the world a healthier and happier place. Could you see yourself working for a great purpose in a dynamic, global culture? Then we might be a great match.

Who are we looking for?

We’re seeking a high-performing Senior Software Engineer with a passion for building meaningful, user-focused products. You care deeply about your craft and about the difference your work makes - for the coaches we empower and the lives they change. You bring strong technical skills, a high drive, and a collaborative spirit.

Success in this role means becoming a key player in building the market-leading platform for health coaches - today, tomorrow, and for years to come. We have big ambitions for 2026, and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to take ownership, grow with Lenus, and help us deliver on that vision.

Key Responsibilities

Drive projects end-to-end - from planning and architecture to hands-on implementation and delivery with a strong focus on execution excellence.
Code extensively while driving technical execution and setting a high engineering bar.
Lead and guide other engineers without formal management responsibilities.
Design scalable, maintainable systems that anticipate future needs and support long-term growth.
Challenge the status quo and proactively identify better approaches, abstractions, and architectures.
Collaborate effectively across teams to clarify requirements and translate them into actionable technical plans.

Qualifications

We value diverse experiences and backgrounds. While not all qualifications are mandatory, the ideal candidate should possess:

4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of complex projects.
Strong system architecture and software design skills, with the ability to break down large problems and execute effectively.
Proven ability to learn new technologies quickly and adapt to evolving stacks, regardless of prior exposure.
Hands-on experience with modern web/mobile technologies - familiarity with Node.js, TypeScript, React, React Native, Postgres, or AWS is a plus.
A “let’s go” mindset - thrives on hard problems, seeks challenges, and is motivated by solving meaningful (and challenging) technical work.
Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
Bonus: Experience building AI-enabled products or working with LLM application layers.

We encourage you to apply even if you don't tick all the boxes!
We’re on an ambitious and difficult mission - and we set high expectations for ourselves and each other. We’re looking for driven, passionate engineers who want to build something extraordinary and are not afraid of the hard work that comes with it.

The Product Team

You will be joining our Product team of ~70 people, consisting of engineers, designers, product managers, as well as our support and customer success teams. The team culture is inherently open, energetic, and highly collaborative, united by the mission of improving global health.
