<h1>Senior Frontend Engineer -- Airthings (Oslo)</h1>
Build software that helps millions breathe better.
Airthings has recently gone through a strategic reset. After expanding too broadly too fast, we made the tough decision to downscale and sharpen the organisation. Today, Airthings is back to its roots: focused product direction, stronger teams, healthier financials -- and fast global growth, especially in the US.
We&#39;re now building a leaner and more impactful engineering organisation, and we&#39;re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who wants to shape the future of our web experiences used by customers worldwide.
 
<h2>Why Airthings exists</h2>
Airthings was born at CERN when a group of scientists saw a broken status quo: radon tests hadn&#39;t changed for 30 years. We set out to reinvent that experience -- and ended up creating a global category.
Today, over 1 million devices help homes, schools, offices and enterprises understand their indoor air. We build everything in-house: hardware, firmware, cloud, data, mobile apps and web applications.
Frontend is where everything comes together. It&#39;s the window into millions of data points, and the place where we turn complex indoor air insights into something simple, intuitive and actionable.
 
<h2>The Role</h2>
As a Senior Frontend Engineer, you will be central to building the next generation of Airthings&#39; digital experience.
You will:
<ul><li>
Build and evolve web applications used by consumers, schools, offices and Fortune 500 enterprises
</li><li>
Turn real-time sensor data into intuitive dashboards, workflows and insights
</li><li>
Own frontend architecture decisions together with the team
</li><li>
Work closely with backend, firmware, data, product and UX in tight loops
</li><li>
Help shape standards for testing, code quality and development practices
</li><li>
Influence product direction and user experience, not just code
</li></ul>
This role suits someone who enjoys impact, autonomy and tight collaboration across a full-stack IoT environment.
 
<h2>Our tech stack</h2>
React, Redux Toolkit, TypeScript, SCSS modules, React Testing Library
Backend knowledge is a plus, but not required.
 
<h2>What we&#39;re looking for</h2>
We are intentionally keeping the team small and strong.
You&#39;ll thrive here if you:
<ul><li>
Have 4&#43; years of experience with modern frontend (React or similar)
</li><li>
Are confident and self-driven -- capable of owning problems end-to-end
</li><li>
Enjoy collaborating closely with design and product
</li><li>
Have opinions on architecture, maintainability and testing
</li><li>
Can simplify complexity into elegant user experiences
</li><li>
Value impact over process and enjoy working in a high-trust team
</li><li>
Don&#39;t need to be taught modern development practices -- you bring them
</li><li>
Are excited by IoT, data-heavy products, or building for global scale
</li></ul>
Formal education is not a requirement; strong real-world capability is.
 
<h2>The Team</h2>
<ul><li>
~13 full-time engineers &#43; select consultants
</li><li>
1 frontend developer today &#43; an Engineering Manager who also work on the frontend side.
</li><li>
Close collaboration with backend, firmware, data science and UX
</li><li>
English is the working language
</li><li>
All development happens in Oslo
</li><li>
On-site presence expected, especially during onboarding
</li></ul>
This is a tight, high-quality team with low noise and high clarity after the restructuring.
 
<h2>Why join Airthings</h2>
You get the best of two worlds:
The impact of a small, senior team &#43; the reach of a global product.
Airthings today is financially healthy, focused and growing fast -- particularly in the US market. What you build here will be used globally within months.
 
We offer:
<ul><li>
Competitive salary (TEKNA benchmark)
</li><li>
Central office in downtown Oslo
</li><li>
Health insurance, pension, social events
</li><li>
A culture built on Dare, Love, Focus
</li><li>
High autonomy and influence on product direction
</li><li>
Work that actually matters -- helping people everywhere breathe better
</li></ul>
 
<h2>Hiring process</h2>
<ol><li>
Conversation with Engineering Manager
</li><li>
Technical interview
</li><li>
Meet the Team
</li></ol>
Fast, honest, and focused.
 
<h2>Ready to build something meaningful?</h2>
We&#39;d love to talk to frontend engineers who want to combine strong engineering with a mission that has real global impact.
