What's in it for you?
In today's world, change is the one thing you can count on. But whatever the future brings, our patients remain at the heart of everything we do. Novo Nordisk continues to build and invest in in-house digital solutions, and we in Digital Products R&ED (research & early development)are playing an instrumental role in partnering with the business to bring these solutions to life.
By joining one of our product teams you will have a chance to immerse yourself not only in the tech, but also in understanding the ins and outs of the business challenge as you engage with team members, end-users, as well as internal partners to craft the best solutions. You are to join a cross-functional scrum team with a Product owner, UX/UI specialist, Front- and Back-end Developers, and a Scrum Master. Together with your team members you will apply best practices for software development, and you will also contribute to sharing best practices across our agile teams. We are passionate about building full end-to-end digital solutions using cloud, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing. The tech stack you will be working on consists of services from AWS, a RESTful API written in Python, and a frontend created using Vue.js.
Your key responsibilities are:

• Build, optimize, deploy, and maintain our digital products with focus on continuous delivery and building next generation digital architecture

• Use agile engineering practices as well as various software development technologies and tools to rapidly develop creative and efficient solutions that deliver value to the end users and the company

• Collaborate with team members to achieve agile objectives, such as implementing desired functionality and enhancing the user experience.

• Engage with team and business stakeholders to understand the users and advise on solutions

• Inspire and challenge the organization with your knowledge of various technologies and tools on how to solve complex business problems and take part in establishing a strong capability within Software Development to ensure knowledge sharing and sparring across the product teams

Skills we look for

• BSc in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or other relevant field

• More than 3 years of experience in Frontend Software Development

• Experience with Typescript and Vue.js, or similar SPA frameworks, e.g., React or Angular

To be a successful candidate besides having hands-on development experience we appreciate if you come with understanding on broad software development i.e. within system architecture, coding for scale, communicating possibilities about what can be built and maintained, as well as a love for experimenting and building MVPs.
It is a plus if you also have understanding of one or more of the following (this is not a must have requirement):

• Python

• One or more AWS services

• Jest unit testing

• Playwright E2E testing

• D3.js

• Azure DevOps CI/CD Pipelines

• Relational databases

• ElasticSearch/OpenSearch

• Graph databases (e.g. Neptune or Neo4j)

As a person you are positive with a can-do attitude, communicate effectively, be empathetic but also pragmatic. You are to be a good listener and learner when facing resistance.
