Core requirements

🎯 A basic foundation in software development — for example familiarity with modern web technologies such as Java + Spring Boot, React or Node. We especially value any hands-on experience gained outside of studies, such as internships, summer jobs, freelance work or personal projects.

🎯 Fluent Finnish and English skills, as most of our projects and customers communicate in Finnish

🎯 Basic understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)

🎯 Experience with version control, CI/CD pipelines or testing frameworks

🎯 AI Fluency: A genuine interest in AI-assisted work and curiosity to explore new tools.

🎯 Full-time Availability: Ideally, you’ve already graduated or are just about to finish your studies, so you won’t need to combine full-time work with studying, starting 30.3.2026.

🎯 Language Skills: Fluent Finnish and English skills, as most of our projects and customers communicate in Finnish, but we also communicate in English internally.
