Are you ready to build the foundation for a smarter grid and a greener tomorrow?

ElBits is an ambitious collaboration among Norway’s grid companies aimed at driving change in the power grid industry. We achieve this by integrating and standardizing data, as well as developing digital products. Our goal is to create a digital infrastructure that will enable the sector to increase grid capacity and efficiency, as well as streamline and improve customer experiences.

With our partnerships, deep industry expertise, and access to critical data, we are uniquely positioned to innovate and address the challenges of today’s energy systems. By making data accessible and enabling collaboration, we unlock the grid industry's potential. Together, we contribute to solving one of the greatest challenges of our time – the energy transition.

At Elbits, we are building services that depend on stability, scalability, and fast iteration, and this is where our platform team plays a key role. We want to evolve our platform as we go, not spend two years in isolation building capacity and support we may never need.

The main goal of our Platform Team is to ensure that product teams have everything they need to develop, launch, and operate services safely and efficiently. And right now, things are moving fast: our product teams need tools and stability, and our partners have high expectations for reliability and security. Right now, we are launching one of our key products across the Norwegian grid companies, so this is an exciting moment to join and make an impact. More products are also on the way for 2026.

We are now hiring a Senior Platform Engineer to take a central role in designing and running our development environment in Azure, improving DevOps, developer experience, security, and infrastructure. This role will help our products move forward and strengthen us as a tech organization. Beyond technical skills, we hope you bring a product mindset and organizational understanding and challenge the “why” behind what we build.

You will have a challenge to sink your teeth into - balancing being agile and just in time with our delivery, but also having a cross-product perspective to ensure we build a scalable architecture for the future.

What will you do?

In this role, you will build a bridge between our products and bring the capabilities needed to support our journey going forward. Today, our platform team consists of three engineers, and in this role, you’ll work closely with them on key initiatives. We also value flexibility, so at times you may collaborate directly with cross-functional teams, for example, supporting a product team with platform-related needs to ensure they have the right tools and guidance.

Overall, your focus will be on identifying the best way forward: engaging with product and data teams to create shared value, coordinating priorities, and fostering a service-minded, collaborative approach across domains.

Some examples of what you’ll be responsible for:

• Collaborate closely with product teams to understand their needs and translate them into scalable platform and infrastructure solutions.
• Help define and develop the platform strategy and the strategic “why” behind platform choices to ensure they support product and business goals.
• Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure, and developer tools to ensure efficient and secure delivery.
• Take responsibility for platform and infrastructure security, while continuously improving reliability, observability, and scalability as more services move into production.
• Represent the platform perspective in architecture discussions, ensuring decisions align with long-term goals and operational needs.
• Ensure the right balance between product team autonomy and compliance with governance and regulatory requirements.
• Combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution to build a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly foundation that enables product teams to deliver with high speed and quality.

What makes you a great fit?

You’re a seasoned Platform Engineer with experience driving change and collaborating across a growing tech organization. You know how to scale systems and infrastructure, and you care just as much about the people who use them.

We believe you have:

• A customer-first mindset - whether engaging with a grid company, a product manager or a developer.
• A strong drive to understand and articulate how technical decisions support business objectives by asking the “why,” aligning choices with strategy, and collaborating closely with product teams to deliver the best possible outcomes.
• Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure as code (IaC), implementing security principles, policies & guardrails, and developer tooling.
• Extensive experience in distributed platform development and cloud engineering, being hands-on across multiple languages, and applying a practical mindset to select the right tool for each task.
• A track record of building and maintaining robust, scalable, and observable systems.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain trade-offs clearly.
• A DevOps mindset with a strong focus on security and scalability, including experience building tooling for multiple teams.

While not required, it’s an advantage if you:

• Have worked in or with startups or scaleups, and are comfortable making trade-offs and building iteratively.
• Have experience with multiple cloud environments, languages, frameworks, and varied infrastructure setups, enabling pragmatic and scalable decisions.
• Have hands-on experience setting up Kubernetes and networking principles, not just using it, but configuring and managing clusters.

We run our services on Azure as the fundamental platform, using Azure PaaS as our default hosting model. This means security, governance, and a great developer experience on Azure are central to how we work. Kubernetes is used where it makes sense, alongside Infrastructure as Code.

Our backend is primarily written in Go and C#, while JavaScript is used where needed for supporting tools or integrations. As we grow, we remain open to experimenting with new tools and approaches.

What can we offer?

First, we want to emphasize the opportunity to pursue new challenges and uncharted territories. This role will help us build a robust and cross-functional platform environment, and you'll have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues, making a real impact in Norway's grid sector.

We also offer:

• A positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment.
• To have your work have a great social impact and make a difference in the energy sector.
• Really great pension and insurance policies.
• Modern office centrally located at Rådhusgata in Oslo, one of Europe’s fastest-growing cities.
• Choice of equipment and other necessary tools to ensure you have everything you need to perform your role effectively.
• Great colleagues & social events.

What does the process look like?

• Apply with your CV and contact information.
• If we find your profile interesting, we’ll schedule a short (30-minute) conversation with our Recruitment Advisor.
• After that, we’ll set up a Meet & Greet with our Head of Technology and our Recruitment Advisor.
• For the second interview, we’ll have a more in-depth discussion about your experience and understanding of the role with two of our engineers. Here we will inform you about our way of working and more about us. We conduct a short exercise through a personality test with Fairsight.
• The final chat will involve a meeting with our CEO.
• We do a couple of reference checks and send you an offer!

We use Semac for background checks after the final offer to verify the information provided during the process.
