Frontend Developer

Salary Competitive

Do you want to take a leading role in developing a brand new technology? Are you ready to take on an exciting challenge at an early stage startup? 

We are looking for a Frontend Developer to help build Bubbly. Bubbly is a Release Readiness platform currently in development. We are on a mission to help lean software teams continuously release software with confidence and visibility.


Location: Helsinki, Finland (remote possible +/-3 EET - relocating / local preferred)

Salary and benefits package tailored to your needs.


About Bubbly:

The initial idea for Bubbly was planted a few years back. DevOps consultants working at Verifa continually received requests from customers for a tool to give them visibility across all their data and pipelines. So we decided to build one! In Summer 2020 with help from Business Finland funding, we built up a team and recently established a new company, Valocode Oy, to focus on Bubbly’s development.

At its core, Bubbly is a very lightweight data platform with data pipelines developed in HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language). Bubbly aggregates, queries and extracts data from multiple tools in the release process into a single dashboard, providing software teams with visibility and confidence in their release quality. Thus far we have built the core engine and UI, and are working towards releasing Bubbly as a SaaS product later this year. The team are big fans of open source, and Bubbly was recently released in open source public beta. Right now, we are self-funded with plans to secure pre-seed investment this year. 

We are a small dedicated team consisting of both technical knowhow and business acumen, and we are currently looking for two more team members - Frontend Developer and Senior Backend Developer. So there is plenty of room to take a leading role in developing a brand new product. And as we are an early stage startup, there is the possibility to have ownership ín the company.


About the role:

You will have a crucial role in developing the Bubbly frontend which is developed in Typescript using SvelteJS (which is awesome!). As we are all startup-y we are of course building on the beta release of SvelteKit for that extra dev sensation. Bubbly is all about data in the end, and data representation is something we have found a challenge so far and would really appreciate someone who looks to take data and make it speak in a visual way. We are modelling software releases, with traceability on a single git commit through the entire release process, and making that a visual experience for our users, whilst solving their release readiness questions. This is what we really hope you will help us with as we learn together what the world’s first “release readiness platform” is. As the team was founded from a DevOps company, Verifa, we enjoy our DevOps practices and would hope you will enjoy it also.


Must Haves:

  • Experience with SvelteJS

  • Solid experience with Tailwind CSS and Typescript

  • Data visualization experience

  • Dashboarding know-how

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English  

Nice to haves:

  • Experience with DevOps

  • Knowledge in GoLang

  • Experience developing SaaS product

  • Experience with Firebase authentication

  • Knowledge of GraphQL


This is a full-time position. We're located in Helsinki. Remote work is possible with a timezone requirement of +/-3 EET. If this kind of role sounds interesting to you, please submit your CV and application as soon as possible. We are processing applications as we receive them. If your profile and experience look suitable, we’ll have a 30 minute discovery session.
