🚀About the role

We're looking for someone to lead our frontend platform and join us on an exciting journey scaling Kron to millions globally. This is an opportunity to join a small company where you can make an immediate impact and gain experience in building delightful UIs and scalable code, working in a team full of talent and passion.

The majority of your time will be spent hands-on coding React Native and React, a code-base serving our native apps (Android and iOS) as well as our web app (kron.no/app ). However, as a lead you’re expected to work closely together with the CTO and CPO in scoping initiatives, and building the team. Equally, you are expected to take a mentorship role towards other developers, and lead the frontend discipline.

You will work closely with designers and backend developers in product teams, to build new features from scratch as well as iterating on current features with customers feedback.

You should not be afraid of digging into Java / Kotlin / Objective-C / Swift code when necessary.

🙌 About Kron

In Kron, Storebrand's investment app, we work to realize a large and important societal mission: To make good investments available to everyone. Because everyone deserves the opportunity to create a future with financial security and freedom. Through smart use of technology, we make what has previously been reserved for professionals available to everyone.

We are currently a rapidly growing team with 30 employees. Technologists, product managers, designers, marketers, economists and lawyers work closely in teams, and together contribute to making Kron a unique working environment. We get up in the morning and look forward to onboarding new users, celebrating when they get started and cheering on when they reach their goals. We take pride in creating communication on finance, investment and pension in a language people understand.

We have ambitions to build a feeling of joy through investing; to help the under-invested to be invested; and believe that money should provide the power to change (the more people who invest in the future, the better it will be). We make all of this possible through our simple and engaging investment app. Kron is Norway's most liked investment app and over 70,000 Norwegians have opened an account.

With Storebrand as the new owner, Kron will continue to grow and make good investments available to even more people. We have the innovative power of a young technology company and the weight of a large financial group.

At Kron, we want skilled and happy people on the team. It's fun to make things that make people happy, and happy people make better experiences. We are now looking for more people who want to be part of an exciting growth journey in a company with very big ambitions.

🤙 About you
