It's Tuesday, 23:50. Someone changes next week's delivery day, nine minutes before the cut-off. It just works. Nobody thinks about the account, the subscription or the payment behind it. That's the point, and that's Core Platform. Curious? Read on.

What you'll build

Core Platform owns the foundations every other team at Cheffelo builds on: customer data, sign-in and access, subscriptions, payments and preferences. Tens of thousands of households rely on them every week. When they work, nobody notices. When they don't, everyone does.

• Design, build and run backend services for customer data, auth, subscriptions and payments
• Start with the problem, together with your PM and the people using what you build
• Own what you ship, in production too: how it performs, what it costs and how it holds up
• Raise the bar in design discussions and code reviews
• Work AI-first, with judgement: know when AI makes the work better, and when to step back and think it through yourself

Why it's a good place to build

• Small team, wide reach. Core is our smallest product team, and the one the others depend on. Your decisions travel far.
• Problems, not tickets. You own a problem from the first question to a running solution, and you keep owning it.
• Built in-house. From recipe to doorstep, our platform is our own. When something should work differently, you can change it.
• AI with a real budget. We use AI tools actively in development, with a generous budget to match.

The stack

.NET and SQL on Azure for backend and internal systems. React/Next.js and Flutter for the customer channels, GraphQL in between, Databricks for data.

Your team

Experienced engineers and a dedicated PM, with our backend engineering manager as your manager. Around you is a tech organisation of 40 people in five product teams, across Oslo, Portugal, Sweden and Poland.

You'll probably enjoy this if you…

• have several years of building backend systems that run in production
• know cloud platforms and databases well
• care about what happens after you ship
• want to understand why before you decide how
• are curious about AI tools, use them in your work and judge their output critically
• communicate clearly in English

Even better if you…

• have built or run agentic workflows
• work in C#/.NET (our main backend stack, but strong engineers from other backend languages are welcome)
• know data modelling, SQL performance or frontend
• like helping other engineers grow

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. Norwegian is not required.
