You don’t just develop your own code, but also review code from other team members, and take part in improving our development practices. You also support your team’s PO in maintaining and refining the backlog.
What we are looking for:

Feeling Interested? Don’t Delay Applying!
We plan to interview candidates during the application period and will proceed with the hire as soon as the right person is found.

This is something we’ll consider in the hiring process. For more information, contact Matti-Pekka Sivosuo, [email protected].
