Senior Manager, Engineering

Lead the engineering organisation behind one of Norway’s most trusted clinical platforms - and shape how technology serves clinicians and patients at scale.

As part of the department
CheckWare builds the digital platform that Norway’s largest healthcare providers depend on: digital assessments, patient-reported outcomes, and treatment follow-up. Real clinical workflows. Strict uptime requirements. Real impact - every day.

We’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead an organisation of - Developers, QA, DevOps, Architects, and a Product Owner - distributed across Norway, Poland, and India, headquartered in Trondheim. Your direct reports cover all key disciplines bringing expertise and team spirit.

You’ll be a part of the management group alongside Product, Professional Services, and Sales. You set the direction for how the organisation builds and operates. You also get into the details when a project, an incident, or a person needs it. This is a hands-on leadership role with real scope.

Your Tasks: Lead, Own, and Drive Engineering Delivery

• Lead and develop an engineering organisation across three countries - building a culture of accountability, craft, and continuous improvement.

• Own delivery across CheckWare’s product portfolio: balancing roadmap commitments, technical improvements, compliance work, and operational stability.

• Partner closely with Product Management to translate real user needs - clinicians and patients - into a realistic, well-prioritised backlog.

• Ensure sound architectural principles across the organisation, with a clear view of components, responsibilities, interfaces, and system interactions.

• Own DevOps and platform reliability: monitoring, incident response, and infrastructure capacity planning.

• Lead distributed team dynamics - hiring, onboarding, performance management, and retention across Norway, Poland, and India.

• Drive structured adoption of modern engineering practices, including AI-assisted development tooling, across the team.

• Act as a credible technical voice with Professional Services and Sales - supporting pre-sales conversations and customer escalations when management-level involvement is needed.

• Embed security and compliance into how the team designs, builds, and operates - not as an afterthought, but as a core engineering discipline.

• Contribute to resourcing, budgeting, and organisational planning as a full member of CheckWare’s leadership team.

You Are the Ideal Candidate If You: 
Here’s what will set you up for success:

Must-have

• Solid track record leading engineering teams across multiple disciplines - development, DevOps, QA, and architecture.

• Experience managing distributed and international teams across time zones and cultures.

• A technical background - credible in architecture discussions, comfortable with solution design, sequence diagrams, database models, and integration patterns. You don’t need to write code; you need to lead people who do, credibly.

• Experience working closely with Product Management in an agile delivery environment.

• Experience operating in a regulated environment - healthcare, GDPR, ISO 27001, or equivalent - with a genuine instinct for building compliance and information security into the work.

• Comfortable holding both people leadership and operational/technical accountability simultaneously.

• Fluent in English.

Nice to have

• Architectural familiarity with modern web stacks - Vue.js, PHP/Symfony, Java/Spring Boot, Kubernetes, HL7.

• Experience in healthcare, life sciences, or another high-stakes technology domain.

• Norwegian language skills.

What's in it for you?

• Real ownership. You lead an entire engineering function across three countries, with management group accountability from day one. This is not a siloed delivery role.

• Meaningful impact. The software your team builds is used by doctors and patients every single day. The quality and reliability of the work directly affect healthcare outcomes. That context is present in how the team works.

• Modern engineering. You’ll shape how AI-assisted development, cloud-native practices, and structured engineering disciplines land and scale across the organisation.

• Nordic values in practice. Flat structure, high trust, high standards. A team that takes the work seriously without taking themselvestoo seriously. Direct communication, no politics, and genuine collaboration.

• Trondheim-based. One of Norway’s leading technology cities - home to NTNU and a strong engineering community - with flexibility built in for working across an international team.
