Job description

Do you enjoy working on both ends of a mature product and want real say in where its code goes next? Join a small product team as its third developer and help shape an idea management platform used by organisations around the world.

About us

HYPE Boards, formerly known as Viima, is an idea and innovation management platform. It was founded in Espoo in 2013 and is now used by many organisations worldwide, including If, L'Óreal, Cathay Pacific and Eurowings. Our customers use it to collect ideas from employees and partners, develop the best ones and turn them into measurable business results.

Since 2021 we have been part of HYPE Innovation, an international group with offices in Germany, Finland, the US and Canada. You get the stability of an established product and an international group, with the influence and pace of a small team.

The role and the team

This is a true full‑stack role, split roughly 50/50 between frontend, backend and even DevOps. You will join two developers, one based in Espoo and one in Europe, as the team's third developer. The whole team meets a few times a year and the team members in Finland meet at the office on a weekly basis.

What you will do:

• Develop new features across the whole stack, from Django models and APIs to the user interface
• Work in a large, long‑lived codebase and keep it healthy as it grows
• Help modernise the frontend and the parts around the core, step by step
• Influence technical decisions and ways of working, as an equal member of a small team
• Use AI‑assisted development in your daily work, with a human in the loop

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a senior developer who enjoys both frontend and backend work and doesn't strongly prefer one over the other.

You’ll succeed in this role if you have:

• Several years (10+ years) of professional experience in full‑stack web development
• Strong hands‑on experience with Django and Python. Those are the techs you'd be working with the most.
• Strong programming fundamentals that you rely on, even when you work with AI tools
• Experience working in a large, long‑lived codebase
• The habit of solving problems independently, and of asking for help when it makes sense
• Good communication skills in English

It’s a plus if you have:

• Experience with Django REST Framework
• Experience with other frontend technologies like Vue.js for example
• Experience with authentication and identity: OAuth, SAML, JWT
• Experience with multi‑tenant SaaS on AWS

What we offer:

• Real influence: in a team of three developers, your ideas shape the product and the codebase
• Location: anywhere in Finland. Work remotely or in hybrid mode; our office is in the Helsinki region.
• An established product: paying customers around the world and a stable international group behind us
• Modern ways of working, including AI‑assisted development
