About ZTL Payment Solution
ZTL is a Norwegian B2B PayTech company building modern payment infrastructure for system providers and their customers. Through one API integration, our partners gain access to payments and open banking services — delivered in a transparent, scalable, and developer-friendly way.
We’re currently around 20 people, characterized by an entrepreneurial and innovative mindset. While we can offer some flexibility, we primarily like to work together from our office in downtown Oslo.
What You’ll Do
Shape Technical Direction
Contribute to and refine ZTL’s technical strategy together with the CTO
Set direction for architecture, scalability, and long-term system health
Translate product goals and regulatory requirements into pragmatic technical solutions
Lead by Doing
Work hands-on in the code while guiding architectural decisions
Lead design discussions and code reviews
Identify and manage technical debt over time
Ensure high standards for code quality, security, and reliability
Strengthen Engineering Culture
Support and mentor engineers
Improve engineering processes and collaboration
Work closely with Product and DevOps to ensure smooth, predictable delivery
Contribute to hiring and team growth when needed
Who We Think You Are
- You have solid experience building modern backend or full-stack systems, ideally in cloud environments
- You’ve contributed to system design and architectural decisions in a product-driven environment
- You understand the balance between engineering excellence and pragmatic delivery
- You care about security, scalability, and reliability, especially in regulated environments
- You enjoy writing code, but are equally motivated by helping others succeed.
- You communicate effectively in Norwegian and English
Experience in fintech, payments, APIs, or regulated systems is a strong advantage, but curiosity and the ability to learn fast matter more than ticking every box.
