Developer
- Application Deadline: May 5, 2026
- Arendal
- On-site
Ready to build the future with one of Southern Norway’s most advanced technology teams?
We’re looking for a passionate developer to join our in-house development team and help shape the next generation of digital solutions at Gard. You’ll play a key role in evolving our existing systems to meet new business needs.
Working closely with your team, you’ll design and build new solutions that keep our business competitive and our technology stack modern.
Much of our work revolves around cross-technology APIs, enabling seamless integration across our systems and empowering development teams throughout the organisation.
What you will be part of
We’re amid an ambitious digital transformation - one that mirrors the evolution of the maritime industry itself. We’re developing critical platforms and capabilities to deliver high-quality digital services to both colleagues and customers.
At the heart of this transformation are our core systems, all developed, operated, and supported by our experienced in-house teams. As a member of the team, you’ll be involved throughout the entire lifecycle: from idea and design, through implementation and testing, to delivery, continuous improvement, and long-term growth.
Our teams are self-governing within the development area, giving you real ownership and influence. You’ll work on meaningful, varied tasks with full support to grow your skills across the technology stack. Strong communication skills are important, as you’ll collaborate closely with business users to turn needs into great solutions.
Who we’re looking for
Finding the right person matters more to us than ticking every box, but we believe a strong candidate will bring many of the following:
- Solid experience with technologies such as C#, Azure, MVC, and modern databases
- Experience from insurance or the financial industry
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Experience with Agile development methods, software architecture, and DevOps
- An innovative, proactive, and creative mindset, combined with a strong business focus
- A genuine interest in digital opportunities and how technology can improve Gard’s performance
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, or a proven track record as a skilled software developer
Technologies and tools you’ll work with
We use a modern and diverse technology stack, including:
- C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework, Razor
- JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, Vue, MVC
- Microsoft SQL Server, Cosmos DB, Oracle
- Azure Stack
- Salesforce LWR/C
- Mule
- Git
- Kanban and Scrum
What we offer
- Strong pension and insurance benefits
- The stability of a long-term, highly respected employer, combined with a dynamic and fast-moving tech environment
- A collaborative, in‑house environment where technology is central to the business
- A focus on work-life balance and sustainable ways of working
- Access to company cabins and apartments, plus support for workout and health initiatives
- An open and social culture with regular Gard events and knowledge sharing
- Excellent opportunities for professional growth, learning, and international collaboration

About the company
For more than 100 years Gard, one of the world’s leading marine insurers, has been helping the marine industries to protect their assets and safeguard their income. Having expanded from our origins in southern Norway to a network of 13 offices across the globe, we have witnessed the impact the sea can have and have learnt a thing or two.
Despite our breadth and depth of experience and expertise, we try to learn something new every day to prepare our Members and clients for their next journey, and to find and deliver the right solutions. So, whenever the unexpected arises it is good to know that someone is ready, willing and able to assist; someone with expertise that has been refined for over a century.
It is not just what we do, but how we do it that delivers the best value in the market – matching our expertise with an unrivalled commitment to what we do. We will turn every stone to find a solution and see it carried through.
Such ability and dedication is rare, so we take great care in choosing, training and supporting our employees. The way we see it, our people are the difference between good and great.
