[Jobposts] System developers within federated identity systems (Norway)

[Magni Onsoien]

Our company (or rather the company owning the company I work for, but
we're co-located) are hiring. You can contact me for more information
about the company and how it is to work here, and Anders Lund (see info
at the bottom of the email) for information specific to the job.

Uninett definitely has a majority of male employees in technical
positions, but 1/3 of the company are female, and this department is
lead by a (great!) woman.

The position is definitely open to applicants from EU/EEA (and probably
to those with a permanent work permit in this area, if it can be
transferred to Norway), but also strong candidates from outside this
area may apply.

Trondheim is the 3rd largest city in Norway, about 500 km north of Oslo.
