Senior/Leading Angular developer (Angular + Django)

Join KOIA and work on a modern fintech platform built for the Scandinavian market.

We are looking for a hands-on Senior/leading Angular developer (Angular + Django) to join a long-term project for our Norwegian client. We need an experienced engineer who can design, build and evolve scalable Angular applications, make complex technical and architectural decisions, and remain actively involved in development.

You will take technical ownership of the frontend architecture, working hands-on with Angular while collaborating across a Django/Python backend. You’ll help shape how the application evolves as the product and its complexity grow, while guiding engineering standards and supporting other experienced developers with technical direction.

We work in an environment that combines startup-like speed with enterprise-scale requirements. We actively use modern AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery, while maintaining high standards for architecture, maintainability, testing, security and code quality.

This is a technical leadership role, not a people management position. We are looking for someone who leads through strong engineering judgment, ownership, hands-on contribution and the ability to turn complex technical challenges into pragmatic, scalable solutions.

Project

You will work on an Accounting Practice Management System, co-owned by three major accounting firms. Once fully onboarded, the platform will serve 5,000+ daily enterprise users.

The client’s engineering team is intentionally small (5-6 experienced developers) and focuses on building a better product than competitors with significantly larger engineering organizations. Their advantage comes from excellent engineering practices, pragmatic decision-making, and high-quality software. Your qualifications
