Join Monil and solve actual problems for real people (and animals) by creating industry-leading products for farmers, for animals, for the world.

Monil is building world-leading technology for virtual fencing and livestock monitoring. In just three years, we’ve grown to over 1,000 customers and more than 20,000 collars in active use across multiple markets. We are now entering a new phase of international growth — and the scalability and reliability of our backend platform will be critical to our success.

Our technology is trusted by forward-thinking farmers, research institutions, and agricultural organizations across several countries. Every day, thousands of animals rely on our systems running smoothly.

Our devices collect large amounts of real-time data from animals in the field. We process, analyze, and transform this data into actionable insights that improve animal welfare, farming efficiency, and sustainability. Behind this is a modern, cloud-based backend platform built for performance, resilience, and scale.

We’re now looking for a Backend Engineer who wants to build high-performance systems that truly matter.

What we're looking for

• 1-3+ years of experience with Go
• Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases
• Experience with Kubernetes (a plus, but not required)
• BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Informatics or Engineering

Bonus points for:

• Experience developing IoT products
• Experience with AWS
• Fluency in Norwegian (preferred, but we make exceptions for the exceptional)
• Experience working in a startup or fast-paced environment
• Real-life experience with farming or agriculture (not required, but appreciated)

Our Tech Stack

We work with modern, scalable technologies:

• Go for backend services
• PostgreSQL / TimescaleDB for data storage
• gRPC for internal communication and GraphQL APIs for frontends
• AWS (EKS and other AWS services) for infrastructure
• High observability throughout the stack, with metrics, tracing, and logs

Our platform runs on Kubernetes and is built with scalability, reliability, and operational excellence in mind.

What we offer

Join a high-growth startup entering an exciting international scale-up phase. You won’t just write code, you’ll own features and initiatives, influence technical decisions, and help build the foundation of a growing company. Nevertheless your work will create meaningful impact by improving animal welfare, farming efficiency, and global sustainability. You’ll collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team across hardware, embedded systems, backend, and frontend. We offer a competitive salary, including an option program.

Requirements

Candidates must have the right to work in Norway or within the EU/EEA, as we are unable to support relocation or visa sponsorship from outside this area.

If you're excited about building technology that makes a real-world difference, we’d love to hear from you.
