Senior Software Engineer at Kitemaker
Oslo, Norway
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTor Lund is a Senior Software Engineer in Oslo with 15 years of experience building backend systems, developer tools and product-facing web UIs across startups and large media and telecom companies. He co-founded Kitemaker and currently shapes automation at Oda, bringing a pragmatic "ship fast, learn fast" ethos and a love for readable, maintainable code (and picky code reviews). Tor contributes to notable open-source projects like Git Extensions, improving UI customization and developer ergonomics, and enjoys working in small cross-functional teams where broad competence matters. His background spans Node.js and Go services at scale, embedded and mobile prototypes, and product ownership from his CTO days, reflecting both deep hands-on engineering and entrepreneurial instincts. Unusually, he pairs this technical breadth with a founder’s eye for UX details—fonts, indentation and auto-wrap matter to him as much as throughput.
