Want to help millions of artists actually earn from streaming?
VIERLIVE is a Norwegian live streaming platform on a mission to help artists earn their share in a piraya streaming market. We’ve redefined the live streaming format with artists like girl in red, AURORA and Sigrid – our platform was awarded the highest ranking Norwegian design award DOGA-merket and recently accepted into the most prestigious startup accelerator program in Norway (giving birth to companies like Kahoot! and reMarkable).
We believe in honesty, playfulness and love for the internet in everything we do. If you don’t quite fit in where you’re at, you might just fit right in with us.
With the launch of our self service platform this year, we've set ourselves exciting growth and product development goals for 2024 – and to help us get there, we need new colleagues that want to join our excitement in building something new – and that’s where you come in.
