At Kiona, we build technology that helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, and waste in buildings across Europe. By connecting existing systems and making data actionable, we enable customers to make better decisions – at scale.

We're now looking for a Senior Software Engineer – Backend who wants to contribute to this mission by building robust, scalable backend solutions, and by using AI as a natural part of software development.

About the role

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Kiona, you contribute through strong technical execution while also being a trusted, constructive team member. You'll deliver complex backend features, modernise existing solutions, and participate in architectural discussions and shape the technical direction for backend systems, ensuring scalable, maintainable, and high‑quality results.

You’ll actively use AI tools to improve productivity, code quality, and solution design, and collaborate closely with product, engineering, and other stakeholders to align technical work with product goals. Solid engineering practices, performance considerations, and secure coding are treated as first‑class concerns.

You’ll be part of a distributed development team working across Norway, Sweden, and Lithuania, in an international environment where English is the primary working language. You'll also support and guide less experienced engineers and contribute to continuously improving development practices across the team.

Just as important as what you build is how you work with others. We value engineers who take ownership, communicate clearly, and help create a pragmatic and collaborative engineering culture.

You are

We are looking for someone who;

  • Has strong experience with backend development, primarily using .NET / C#
  • Actively uses AI tools in the development process and helps drive good engineering practices
  • Has experience maintaining and modernising legacy systems in complex environments, across different technologies and paradigms
  • Is solution‑oriented, pragmatic, and able to translate business needs into sound technical solutions
  • Communicates well across technical and non‑technical roles
  • Is reliable, confident in technical discussions, and supportive of others

We offer

Kiona is built on trust, curiosity, and creativity. We are problem-solvers who believe collaboration and openness are key to building great products – and a great workplace.

The position is based at our office in Trondheim, with a hybrid setup that allows some flexibility.

You’ll join an international team working toward a clear purpose:
making buildings part of a more sustainable future.
