Job description

Reaktor's award-winning tech community is looking for Lead Developers to join us in Tampere.

If you are in your element with a full software development cycle, have a passion for solving human problems with a holistic approach, and are curious to experience working in a low-hierarchy environment, you might just be what we're looking for.

As a Lead Developer at Reaktor, your job is to work with the full software development lifecycle, help your team succeed, and deliver results.

Your daily tasks include:

• Being the first point of contact for the client when it comes to technical questions or the quality of the delivery
• Working together with the client’s technology and business teams, facilitating collaboration between different stakeholders to ensure quality delivery
• Implementing new features that require changes to front-end applications, back-end servers, and/or databases, knowing what is needed from infrastructure to support the team's work
• Improving the team's ways of working by empowering them to discover optimal workflows and enabling a healthy work-life balance among team members
• Building relationships with the client to ensure future collaboration
• Assisting the team in adopting and following agile practices

You are an experienced Developer who enjoys facing technical challenges and is at home providing clarity in ambiguous situations.

To thrive in this position, you’ll need:

• Experience on a broad spectrum (Back End, Front End, and DevOps). Usually, to be successful in this role at Reaktor, we've noticed it's good to have a minimum of eight years of relevant work experience
• Solid understanding and experience of agile project management principles
• Both previous team-lead and consulting experience
• Experience working with several client stakeholders to solve complex problems
• Relevant skills to create new back-end services and tweak CI/CD pipelines when the project requires
• Know-how on databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)
• Fluent verbal & written Finnish and English skills
• Willingness to work in a hybrid setup, where you work with your team at the office or the client's premises

For two decades, we’ve been developing qualities and capabilities for adapting, reacting, and supporting change – building Reaktor to hold up in a fast-paced environment while ensuring the well-being of our people.

While working at Reaktor, we’ll provide you with:

• The ability to impact how you work. Together with the client, your team chooses the approach, technologies, and methodologies you think will work best in any given situation
• A community with as much support as your heart desires
• A team that’s not only experienced but considerate as well – they all want you to succeed
• A sustainable work-life balance and support for your daily life outside of work. (e.g. free moving day, Reaktor car share, sick child care services, office space to use for your private events, etc.)
• An opportunity to grow as a professional. In addition to the day-to-day work, we offer internal training courses, community events, and 15-minute coffee breaks to discuss hot topics in tech and design
• A possibility to take part in more extended academy-like studies like Cloud Academy
• 300+ hobby clubs, from winter swimming and running to knitting and archery, that bring people together outside of (and sometimes inside) office hours. Many of these are supported by Reaktor
• Check out more benefits & perks below

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Together, we are committed to making Reaktor an environment that embraces and values all of our employees for the whole of who they are. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply, knowing that studies show that members of underrepresented communities don’t apply for jobs unless they fully satisfy all of the requirements. If you're thinking twice about applying for this reason, we invite you to send us your application anyway. You could be just the person we're looking for.

Tools

We offer everyone a top-spec computer and a phone of their choosing to work with and use at work and home. If you need other tools, like a keyboard or a mouse, we'll figure it out, too!

Phone & internet

To keep you connected, we’ll cover an unlimited phone plan – and a proper internet connection to your home.

We offer the monthly lunch benefit in addition to your salary, which means you only pay the taxes.

Recreational benefit (sports & culture)

At Reaktor, the recreational benefit is an addition to your salary – and it’s tax-free.

If you want one, we offer an optional commuting benefit card and a bicycle benefit.

Extensive occupational healthcare

Extensive occupational health care services include specialists’ appointments, operations, vaccinations, dental care, and mental health services, including e.g. psychotherapy.

Family support

We support all types of families with encouraging types of parental leave and more, offering support for child care.

An extensive insurance package

Our extensive insurance package safeguards you for accidents, travel, and more.

Our subsidized massage deals keep those shoulders nice and loose.

The Juice-program enables you to work on open source projects – and get compensated for it!

We're an equal opportunity employer
