Ground-penetrating radar software for infrastructure subsurface mapping
Kontur builds GPR processing and visualization software for infrastructure asset owners who need subsurface clarity before digging. The tech stack—Qt, C++, C#, Python, embedded Linux—reflects a hardware-forward company managing both on-device processing and cloud APIs. Current hiring (sales directors + channel roles alongside engineers) and active projects on partner ecosystems and sensor fusion signal a shift from direct sales into channel-driven go-to-market, while real-time processing work hints at moving beyond static surveys toward continuous monitoring.

Kontur develops ground-penetrating radar software and subsurface mapping solutions for infrastructure operators, engineers, and asset managers. The company helps roads, railways, airports, and critical infrastructure operators reduce the uncertainty and risk that comes from limited visibility of underground assets. Core use cases include road and bridge inspections, railroad surveys, and general underground utility mapping. Based in Trondheim, Norway, Kontur was founded in 2001 and operates as a privately held company serving global customers. The platform combines custom hardware (3D radar systems) with software for data processing, visualization, and API-driven integration into customer workflows.
Kontur's stack includes Qt, C++, C#, Python, and embedded Linux for on-device and server-side processing. The company also uses VHDL and custom hardware interfaces for radar signal acquisition.
Kontur is actively hiring in Norway, France, and the United States, reflecting geographic expansion in sales and technical roles.
