Principal Software Engineer - Viz Mosart, Bergen

Description TV productions around the world run on software built in Bergen. Live every day, from BBC News to Premier League. Viz Mosart is the application driving the broadcast from the control room, and we are growing the team that builds it. We're looking for a principal-level engineer who is energized by hard systems problems and cares about building the right thing, not just shipping the next thing. The challenge Viz Mosart is a 700,000-line real-time system that runs live television worldwide, and we are modernizing it while it stays on air. That means: migrating a .NET Framework core to modern .NETmoving rich desktop UIs to a web-based architecture (Vue 3 + TypeScript)breaking a long-lived monolith into composable, cloud-ready servicesThis is the kind of problem most engineers never get to touch: deep, real, consequential, and visible on screen. We want someone who finds that exciting rather than daunting. Requirements We care most about how you think, but we also want a solid background. We would expect: you work AI-first: orchestrating agents and engineering context is second nature, and you build things in days that used to take a team weeksdeep systems experience: you've owned the architecture of a large production system and lived with the consequences of those decisionsgenuine care for architecture, code flow, and system design, and the judgment to know when to modernize and when to leave well enough aloneyou raise the level of the people around you through mentoring, review, and clear technical directiona computer-science foundation and the communication skills to align decisions across teams and domainsWe hire for ceiling over checkbox experience.
