Join our teams in Gothenburg or Oslo

We are seeking team members of any nationality, yet we are primarily looking for team members in Sweden, and secondarily in Oslo. All formal writing is in English, spoken in mostly Swedish, Norwegian and English.

Do you want to work on high quality software products serving happy customers, rapid (not to be mistaken with hectic) development cycles and continuous deployment? Do you want to learn something new every day? You have come to the right place. Read on.

We are looking for two new team members. Both of you are programmers, and one of you is also a designer.

Our products are used by potentially hundreds of journalists, by millions of end-users and tens of million times a day, i.e. http://aptoma.com/drfront/. Thus we define usability and performance as two of our main challenges and also our main strenghts. You should love one or both of these great challenges.

We have compact, highly disciplined cross-functional development teams. We work by agile principles and values. Read more about this, and more, on our development blog : http://aptoma.com/select.star

We proactively set off time to remove problems right now instead of settling for long term firefighting. We don't settle for the proverbial "do it right the next time", we work on continuous improvement now. Thus we keep problems at bay and thrive in a lot of interesting challenges with truly the best customers around.

Of high priority to us is to always be improving our problem solving skills and the way we do our work.
