Senior Software Developer
We are looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our ranks! Our next task is to transform our product to the next level in the terms of customer experience, scalability and crazy ideas.
Skipperi had its proper start when the first full-time employee jumped on board in 2019. In the past four years, we have made our product available in six countries whilst scaling up (Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada and New Zealand). Regardless of our progress, our company or products are by no means ready. Luckily we just finalised our financing round, partnering up with an influential industry player, giving us a smooth runway for the next few years. Thus it's time to redraw the map, check the compass and prepare to sail over the horizon!
We are looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our ranks! Our next task is to transform our product to the next level in the terms of customer experience, scalability and crazy ideas. Let's do this together whilst having some fun!
About the role
Our customers are really happy with our service and it's always rewarding seeing them enjoy what we have built with our technology. Let's keep on creating more happiness!
Skipperi platform and application development is located in Finland. We mostly work from our office in Lauttasaari, sometimes from our homes and even the sea. We have a lovely bunch of skilled local and international colleagues that encourage us to push the boundaries of the boating industry. Even though the position is hybrid remote, we do expect you to be able to also work with us at our office.
Our main drivers are being constantly curious about our tech/product and making Skipperi a global phenomenon! Additionally, we do tend to enjoy the sea, the lakes and boating – so you will feel a bit more at home, if you share the same interest.
Experience and skills
We expect 5+ years of previous experience in both software engineering & web/app development. This experience should have taught you the basics of modern software development, such as:
- Understanding of both functional and object-oriented paradigms
- Familiarity with the common programming design patterns
- Component (design system) based development as per usual in the world of React
- Writing test code (maybe even a bit of TDD)
- Following conventions, producing clean code and not being afraid to refactor.
Also, it helps if you are familiar with at least some of the following technologies:
- TypeScript/JavaScript
- React, React Native, Expo, NextJS
- Modern PHP, Laravel, REST
- MariaDB, Redis, ElasticSearch, Prismic
- Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP etc.)
And no, we do not expect you to check each and every box :-)
We also appreciate the following
- Enthusiasm in either backend development, frontend development, infrastructure development, mobile development, ML, testing or analytics
- Guts to try out new things
- Eagerness to work on widely varying software related tasks
We offer you
- An important part in affecting how Skipperi scales globally – have you opened a business in the United States before? 🇺🇸
- A chance to bring modern technology to a domain that is still behind the curve
- Free boating & access to our island, Bergholmen
- Skipperi stock options
Just some random (non-perfect) code examples from our codebase, so you can see what kind of environment you would be working in.
Next steps
We would really like to see some code or some project you are somewhat proud of! So please attach this to your application. You can send your application via the Apply button. Thanks!
The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person. If you have anything on your mind or just want to have a chat about the position, please feel free to contact our CTO, Panu ☺️
