Who works here

27 people in Tromsø and two in Oslo. 15 in the SOC (24/7 shifts), 8 engineers, the rest sales and operations. Four of us have a military background.

How we actually work

The SOC works shifts, engineers don't. We document everything because customers demand it — and because it's right. We have too few designers (zero).

A normal week

Week start Monday 9. Engineers have two focus days. Thursday: threat review for everyone. Office downtown, the mountain is 15 minutes away.

Who thrives here — and who doesn't

You'll thrive if you like understanding attackers and building boring, robust infrastructure. You'll struggle if you need hypergrowth and pizza nights.

Honest answers

Fixed questions. The people answer themselves, in their own words.

What surprised you in your first month?

  • At de fleste angrep er kjedelige. Det farlige er når det blir stille.

    Eirik Hansen · SOC-leder · 4 år

  • At «ingen designere» var ordrett. Jeg tegner selv nå.

    Silje Iversen · Utvikler · 2 år

What does a bad week look like here?

  • Et reelt angrep en fredag kveld. Vi tre i rommet, og ingen får snakke om det etterpå.

    Eirik Hansen · SOC-leder · 4 år

  • Når jeg må forklare en kommune hvorfor de må bytte passord. Igjen.

    Silje Iversen · Utvikler · 2 år

What would you change if you could?

  • Vi trenger en til på natt. Vi er for tynne der.

    Eirik Hansen · SOC-leder · 4 år

  • Én designer. Bare én.

    Silje Iversen · Utvikler · 2 år

Why do you stay?

  • Tromsø, mørketid, og et lag som stoler på hverandre.

    Eirik Hansen · SOC-leder · 4 år

  • Jeg jobber med ting som faktisk kunne stått i avisen, og ikke gjør det.
