As we are looking to grow in Finland and internationally, we are now recruiting two Junior/Senior Full stack Developers.

Your main responsibilities will be

  • Full stack development of the serverless Frank App with React and AWS cloud services

  • Long term architecture and lifecycle design with the rest of the development team, depending on your level of seniority

  • Working together with the rest of Frank's team to deliver a great service for the students

We at Frank believe in learning by doing, but for this position, you should already have experience in:

  • Developing and maintaining existing scalable systems on ES6 and/or TypeScript

  • Working in a diverse multi-talent team

  • Development lifecycle from design to implementation, testing and maintenance

We also expect that you:

  • Understand user stories and business requirements set out by a product owner (and perhaps even the business behind them)

  • Want to create a great UX for the end-users

  • Have good verbal and written communication skills

  • Are fluent in English, possibly also in Finnish

  • Have the desire to learn and develop further as part of our team

The following are considered a plus:

  • Have experience in developing cloud-based scalable solutions

  • Know what Cordova is and what challenges it poses

  • Know what GraphQL is and are eager to try it out in production

  • Have experience in developing mobile responsive UIs on React Native

We offer a competitive salary and benefits, 12 awesome colleagues and a chance to make a concrete difference through your work. Frank serves the students in Finland, which is the most interesting and fast-moving group of 0.7 million individuals to work for and with. We are also constantly developing our service so you won’t run out of new things, dilemmas, opportunities and also partners to work with. Our office is located in Kaisaniemi at the heart of Helsinki. 

We’re ready to seal the deal as soon as we find the right people so don’t hesitate to apply immediately! If you’re not the one we’re looking for but know someone who might be, please hook us up! :)
