Join us!

We are looking for Junior Developers to join our LiveOps team, belonging to Futurice’s Managed Services business unit – among friends, we call it FutuCare! This is a great opportunity to start your career in tech consultancy.

About the role

As a Junior Software Developer in the LiveOps team, your responsibilities vary between clients, as usually a team member has a few clients to work with. The role combines software development and customer service, as well as continuous improvement in the client environments to provide the best possible value to our clients.

To summarize, your responsibilities as a Junior Developer may include:

• Continuous development of in-production systems and software
• Providing service to our clients and answering their questions and needs, whether it’s incident management or service requests
• Monitoring clients’ environments and ensuring their production, including handling monitoring alerts by priority
• Working with logs, reporting, information security, testing, or run books
• Developing and improving ways of working, such as monitoring and automation, together with the entire LiveOps team
• Occasionally participating in evening or weekend on-call work (on a volunteer or standby basis)
• Taking part in other development projects as needed

This role requires a readiness to work on a 24/7 basis and flexibility with working hours, including outside of normal business hours. For work performed outside of normal business hours, separate compensation is paid on top of your monthly salary.

Recipe for success

To thrive in this role, you already have some technical skills in software development in your pocket. As our client projects have a lot of technical variety, we do not have a strict expectation on your stack. We expect you to have some knowledge of both backend and frontend, and in addition, it’s an advantage if you have experience in some of these:

• Languages: Typescript / Python / Kotlin / C#
• Cloud: AWS / Azure / GCP
• Web: Spring Boot / Next.js / React / Chalice / Purify
• Storage: PostgreSQL / DynamoDB
• SaaS Services: Microsoft Power Apps / Dynamics 365 / Monitoring solutions

We don't expect you to be an expert in all the listed areas, or even close to it. The most important thing is a genuine desire to learn and grow, as long as you have a solid foundation to build on.

In this role, fluent Finnish is a requirement, as communication with our clients is key. We value top-class customer service, so we hope you have excellent communication skills.

We're looking for a person who combines a developer-centric mindset with a service-oriented attitude. You will work both in groups and individually, so strong teamwork and self-leadership skills are something we highly value.
