Apply with a CV tailored to each job.
High-salary Nordic tech market with English fluency the norm in Oslo.
LumiCV is CV-tailoring and job-tracking software you run yourself — not a recruiter or immigration consultancy. We show you publicly listed roles and help your application land; you choose the jobs and you apply.
Norwegian tech (Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim) runs predominantly in English at scale-ups (Cognite, Schibsted, Telenor Digital) and increasingly in Equinor's digital divisions. Norwegian CVs follow Scandinavian conventions: 1–2 pages, no photo (newer convention, still common but increasingly optional), with a brief summary on top.
Norway is part of the EEA (not the EU) — EU/EEA citizens have unrestricted access, while non-EEA candidates need a Skilled Worker permit. Salaries are high but so is cost of living; declare salary expectations in NOK gross annual.
Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.udi.no — before applying or making relocation decisions.
Three things that move the needle when applying in Norway — most foreign candidates miss at least one.
One to two pages, photo optional (newer Oslo tech convention drops it; traditional employers still expect it).
English fluency assumed in Oslo tech. Norwegian increasingly required outside the capital.
State EEA citizenship / permit status — non-EEA hires need Skilled Worker sponsorship.
