Platform Engineer, Telenor

Project overview

For Telenor IT, we are looking for a Platform Engineer to start in January 2027.

About the role

We are looking for a profile who can contribute to establishing and operating alternatives to collaboration, documentation, and task tools that are currently based on Confluence, Jira, and Slack. There will be collaboration internally within a small team, as well as with key individuals outside the team, such as architects and designers.

The consultant's main responsibility will be ownership of the application - not responsibility for process work / WOW responsibility, but the technical aspects.

The role will primarily be responsible for the strategic and technical aspects related to the selection, development, and operation of these collaboration tools applications. The consultant must have sufficient expertise in the platform runtime environment (Kubernetes) to be able to establish, maintain, and integrate the applications. The person will not operate the Kubernetes platform but must be able to use it. We are currently in a phase where the collaboration solutions will be selected for the next 3-5 years.

The solutions should be:

Competence

· Development and operation of applications on Telenor's private cloud (Titan), including containerization, Kubernetes, automated deployment, scaling, backup, and recovery.

· Setup of secure solutions, including vulnerability management, logging, and security updates, including for existing solutions.

· Identity and access management, including SSO, authentication, authorization, and integration with the company's directory and identity solutions.

· Integration expertise, especially APIs, webhooks, email, notifications, and connections to existing internal systems.

· Must be able to be cleared and accept the process for clearance to K (Confidential) according to the Security Act.

· It is beneficial if the profile has expertise in alternatives (e.g., open source) and best practices in the collaboration domain.
