Since COVID, hybrid remote has become the new normal. This offers a huge challenge for companies worldwide as they try to adapt to a reality where employees only work from the office some days of the week. Steerpath is a Finnish growth startup that is perfectly positioned to solve this problem. Founded by three curious engineers that were obsessed with indoor positioning and mapping solutions to optimize the use of buildings, Steerpath provides companies with analytics to determine the ideal office size while helping employees decide when to visit the office and when to work remote.

We are now growing, and looking to strengthen our team with an aspiring Backend Developer with at least one year of work experience, to help us make our product even stronger. Are you in?

About the role 🤖

As our Backend Developer you will become a critical part of our R&D team with 6 colleagues working across mobile, frontend, design and backend. You'll work closely with our Senior Backend Developer and jointly you will develop new features while improving our existing systems and processes. We crunch a huge amount of data, so if you're into that kind of stuff you'll have a blast with us.

As opposed to the traditional Product Owner setup, we have a Product Management Team represented by both R&D, Sales and Operations. This way we can prioritise our work based on both what we can sell, what our customers want and what we think is possible to do.

In line with the product we are building, we operate with a hybrid remote policy, meaning you have the flexibility to work partially remotely. Most of us work from the office at least 2 days per week, and mostly more!

We use modern technologies such as Typescript, Serverless, Docker, Terraform, and we build our solutions on top of the services AWS offers.

• 1+ AWS experience (Lambdas, IAM, Cognito)

We frequently host small company-wide events, including gaming session, board game nights, summer parties and more. Here are some of the reasons we think you'll love working with us:
