Do you have at least five years of varied software development experience?* Do you like speaking up outside lunch breaks too—in other words, keeping customers informed, advising them when needed and assessing implementation options? Do you want to solve problems in the customer’s best interests, rather than choosing what is most fun for you or what adds the most zeros to the invoice? Are you a team player who can also build things independently, sometimes even from scratch? Are you happy to discuss things with the customer and learn about their business? Can you work in both Finnish and English? *Years do not directly measure expertise, and there is no single recipe for becoming a Rakettitiede developer, but few people build up sufficiently broad experience in less than five years.
