About Fonn Group AS
Fonn Group builds cloud-native media technology—Mimir and Saga—that powers content workflows for some of the biggest news and sports outlets in the world.
We're competing against legacy broadcast vendors who've dominated this industry for decades by actually building better technology: serverless architecture, AI-powered automation, real-time collaboration—not 1990s systems with "cloud" marketing bolted on.
Headquartered in Bergen, Norway, with regional offices in New York, Singapore, Munich, and the UK. Our team spans 20+ countries globally through employees, consultants, and customer partnerships. We're at the inflection point where broadcast media transitions from on-prem infrastructure to genuine cloud-native platforms. If you want to work on hard technical problems with real consequences at organizations that reach millions of viewers, this is it.
