In the Digital Customer Platforms team at Laerdal, we shape how customers around the world discover, buy, and use products and services that help save lives. Through our global e‑commerce platform on laerdal.com, we deliver scalable, secure, and increasingly AI‑supported digital solutions across more than 25 markets. 
As Engineering Manager, based in Stavanger, you will lead a great team of software engineers working on business‑critical platforms with real societal impact. You’ll balance people leadership with technical insight, creating an environment where collaboration, learning, and long‑term product sustainability come first. Your role is to help teams succeed—today and over time—while continuously improving how we build and evolve our digital solutions. 
Our technology landscape is modern and evolving, with C#/.NET on Azure at the core and React and Vue.js on the frontend.

• Promote good engineering practices and thoughtful use of emerging technologies, including AI

Who we think will thrive here

You are a leader who enjoys enabling others and believes strong teams build the best products. You bring technical credibility, curiosity, and empathy to your work, and you’re motivated by creating durable solutions rather than quick fixes. Whether you already lead teams or are ready to take the next step into engineering leadership, you care deeply about collaboration, quality, and impact. 
Experience that will support your success includes: 

• A solid background in software development and modern engineering practices 

• Experience leading, mentoring, or guiding engineers in a product‑focused environment 

• Comfort working with cloud‑based systems; Azure experience is a plus 

• Experience from agile, empowered, cross‑functional teams 

• A leadership style that communicates clearly, listens actively, and builds engagement 

• Takes initiatives and move ideas into action
