Engineering Manager

We are looking for the right people — people who want to innovate, achieve, grow and lead. We attract and retain the best talent by investing in our employees and empowering them to develop themselves and their careers. Experience the challenges, rewards and opportunity of working for one of the world’s largest providers of products and services to the global energy industry. Job Duties Landmark, a Halliburton company, builds the software and data platforms that help the global energy industry make better decisions. Our products span subsurface interpretation, well construction planning, reservoir simulation, and digital operations — tools used daily by engineers and scientists at the world’s largest energy companies. We are investing significantly in our engineering capability in Oslo, building a permanent, locally-owned engineering organization to take long-term ownership of these platforms. This is the foundational leadership hire for Landmark’s permanent engineering team in Oslo. Every permanent engineer we hire will report to this person.

The platform runs on a modern, cloud-native stack — primarily TypeScript/Node.js and React with .NET services on Azure and Kubernetes — and you do not need deep prior exposure to every one of these technologies; what matters is the judgement to lead a team that works across them.   What you will do People Leadership and Team Building  Build and lead Landmark’s permanent engineering organization in Oslo — owning hiring, onboarding, performance management, career development, and retention as the team scales from its current footprint to a full in-house function.  Set and hold a high, consistent hiring bar; personally drive recruitment for the senior roles that anchor the team, and design the interview process and technical assessment that everyone else is hired against.  Manage a mixed team of permanent staff and external consultants, transitioning critical knowledge in-house and reducing key-person and vendor dependency over time.  Create the team’s operating rhythm — one-to-ones, technical reviews, planning, and feedback loops — and build a culture where engineers have high ownership and clear…
