Who works here
62 employees, 30 engineers. Six former doctors and nurses. Average age 38, longest tenure 9 years.
How we actually work
Quarterly goals, two-week sprints. Everything touching patient data goes through two pairs of eyes. That makes us slower than a startup — as we should be.
A normal week
Sprint start Monday. Focus days Tuesday and Thursday (no meetings). Friday: retro and learning. Office at Gløshaugen, 2–4 days.
Who thrives here — and who doesn't
You'll thrive if you want your work to matter to someone who's ill. You'll struggle if 'move fast and break things' is your motto.

Turnover 2025: 5%. 1 100 clinics use us. Profitable.
Honest answers
Fixed questions. The people answer themselves, in their own words.
What surprised you in your first month?
“At utviklerne ville sitte ved siden av meg på legekontoret. De mente det.”
Kristin Moe · Lege og produktsjef · 6 år
“At «trege» ikke betyr late. Det betyr at vi ikke kan ødelegge en legejournal.”
Håkon Berg · Utvikler · 4 år
What does a bad week look like here?
“Når Helsedirektoratet endrer et skjema og vi har tre uker på oss. Vi er regulert; det er ikke alltid rolig.”

Why do you stay?
