Backend / GIS developer

Salary Competitive

Cetopo is a growing GIS startup that currently focuses on architects and the construction industry. We are on the cutting edge of technology, with tech achievements like Finland's first nationwide 3D-forest model, and LOD2 buildings. If you want to work on the frontier of creating real value out of massive open datasets, using complex spatial algorithms, then this job is for you. It is also for you if you prefer to design scalable, performant infrastructures for said massive datasets.


At Cetopo you would become the second member of our dev-team. Team culture, tools & tech used, and even development direction will be significantly affected by you. That's why we are looking for a team player, who is also not afraid to voice their opinion. We have no plan to stop at a two person dev team, so if you see yourself as something of a lead developer, then here is a golden opportunity for that as well.

Your role would initially be to help out with our current internationalization plans by developing on those features with me. After that we would partially divide responsibility for different parts of the codebase, but only when you are comfortable with doing so. This is definitely a challenging job, as you will not be joining a dev-team, but forming one.


The only strict requirements for applying are:

  • Fluent in English (written + spoken)

  • Live in/near the Helsinki region

  • C# / other backend language

  • Git etc 'dev-ecosystem'

  • Willingness to learn & teach!

  • Interested / curious to learn about / advance the GIS field

We don't require you to have very specific skills, as there are many different parts of Cetopo that would benefit from many different skillsets, but here is a list of some tech that you should mention if you have experience in, and you would certainly benefit from:

  • AWS / cloud

  • Math / Physics / Geometry

  • Data structures / Algorithms

  • Performance oriented coding

  • Computer Vision / ML

  • Testing / QA

  • OGC / other standards

  • GIS

  • CAD / BIM

  • WebGL / 3D / other visualization experience

  • Front end / web assembly

  • Any other unusual tech you are great at!

Any combination of those would be valuable. Additionally you might also:

  • Speak good Finnish

  • Speak good Swedish

  • Any other language (great for reading other countries data-specifications)

  • Have some humor

  • Can do attitude

  • Thrive with remote work
