We’re building for a future where data flows seamlessly between systems, where developers—both inside and outside Aidn—can extend our platform with confidence, and where healthcare delivery is strengthened by secure, well-designed APIs.As a Senior Backend Engineer – Platforms, you’ll help design and operate the backbone of that ecosystem. You’ll work on the services and tooling that enable Aidn to onboard municipalities, exchange data with partners, and empower developers through our APIs, integration frameworks, and self-service portals.This isn’t just about writing code—it’s about creating the technical foundations that connect Norwegian healthcare and help professionals deliver better care, faster.🔧 What You’ll Be Working OnWe are hiring Backend Engineers across two Platform teams, each focused on building the systems and capabilities that make Aidn’s healthcare platform reliable, scalable and ready to serve every Municipality in Norway.Team Technical OnboardingAs part of the Technical Onboarding team, you’ll be responsible for one of Aidn’s most mission-critical tasks—data migrations. Every new municipality that joins Aidn brings thousands of records from legacy systems, and it’s your job to ensure that data arrives safely, accurately, and on time.Your work will include:Municipal Data Migrations: Running large-scale migrations from multiple legacy vendors and improving the reliability, performance, and automation of our migration tooling.Data Validation & Quality Assurance: Profiling, cleaning, transforming, and verifying data to ensure accuracy and compliance with healthcare standards.Operational Support: Executing migrations in production environments, monitoring progress, and collaborating with municipal IT staff to troubleshoot technical issues during onboarding.Tooling & Safety Improvements: Enhancing our migration framework with better observability, safeguards, and reporting—making each migration smoother, faster, and safer than the last.Process Ownership: Managing multiple migrations in parallel, balancing project timelines with technical quality, and helping establish best practices for large-scale data onboarding.This is a role where precision, accountability, and collaboration come together. You’ll help ensure municipalities can transition seamlessly to Aidn without disruption—laying the groundwork for everything that follows.Team Open AidnAs part of team Open Aidn, you’ll help build the foundation for a truly connected healthcare ecosystem—where data flows securely between systems and partners, and developers can easily extend the platform.Your work will include:Open Aidn Platform: Designing and evolving the integration and data exchange layer that connects Aidn to external systems and partners.Self-Service & Monitoring Portal: Building the next generation of our Platform Admin UI for municipal and Aidn administrators—providing real-time visibility, control, and insights into system operations.Public FHIR APIs: Implementing secure, standards-based APIs for importing and exporting healthcare data.Developer Portal & Sandbox: Creating developer-facing tools and environments that make integration, testing, and onboarding simple and safe.Synthetic Data Services: Developing synthetic data generation tools to support safe testing, performance validation, and sandbox environments.This is a team for builders who care about interoperability, developer experience, and building systems that connect the healthcare ecosystem in new and meaningful ways.🛠️ Current Tech StackAidn’s platform is built on modern, proven technologies designed for scale, reliability, and interoperability across Norway’s healthcare ecosystem.
