Schibsted Products & Technology

The mission of Schibsted Products and Technology is to develop state of the art, innovative products and services to power Schibsted's digital transformation and deliver the very best, tailored user experiences to drive Schibsted's future growth.

Following the success of SPiD, and the required transformation of Schibsted to meet new user needs, Schibsted Payment became part of the new organisation Schibsted Products & Technology. I continued as Lead Developer of the SPiD platform, improving testing, setting up CI/CD pipelines and processes, automating infrastructure, splitting up the platform into microservices and doing cost optimisations in AWS.

Working as a Full Stack Developer with broad responsibilities and cross team collaboration projects I quickly became Staff Software Engineer within Schibsted's new structure. As a Staff Software Engineer and expert in Schibsted end user IAM solution, now renamed Schibsted account, focus shifted into collaborating with other teams and designing solutions for integrations with services like Privacy, Payment and Subscription services as well as Data platforms.

Schibsted Payment AS

Schibsted Payment is fully owned subsidiary of Schibsted Media Group established in November 2011. SPiD is the primary product of Schibsted Payment delivering an easy and secure way to log in and pay across many services.

At Schibsted Payment I grew into the Full Stack Developer I am today. I started leading the front end development and UX, while also doing backend PHP development for the SPiD platform. I eventually introduced and took on node.js development and a DevOps role. As the SPiD platform grew from 0 to over 6 million users, with clients as Aftonbladet.se, VG.no, Finn.no and Blocket.se, so did my responsibilities grow. I ended up as Tech Lead and Lead Developer for the platform, pushing the move of the entire platform to AWS, and doing project management of integration projects as well as internal development projects.

Netlight is a genuine consulting firm. We refine the concept of IT-consulting to be about talents who, in cooperation, create valuable results for our clients.

At Netlight I was a Consultant with assignments in UX and Front end development, with clients in the Media industry. I started at Aftonbladet during the integration of SPiD, but it became clear my expertise was needed for the development of the SPiD platform instead, which led to Schibsted Payment taking me in as a consultant until they hired me away.
