Senior Software Engineer

Salary Competitive

Your Mission

Your mission is to help build a new product that is already gaining strong traction and turn that momentum into something that truly shapes the market.

This is not a “keep-the-lights-on” role. This is about joining early, leaning into ambiguity, and helping define what great looks like while the product, the team, and the ways of working are still forming. You’ll help us move fast without breaking what matters, and raise the engineering bar while shipping meaningful value to users at speed.

If you’re motivated by ownership, momentum, and the chance to leave a visible mark on a product’s future, you’ll feel right at home.

Your Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a core builder of a new product within Hoxhunt. You’ll work in a small, autonomous, product-minded team where engineering decisions directly shape user experience, scalability, and long-term success.

You won’t just execute tickets — you’ll help define problems, challenge assumptions, and take responsibility for outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys figuring things out as they go, and is excited to help both the product and the team level up.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and ship product features end-to-end: from problem definition to launch, monitoring, and iteration

  • Write high-quality, maintainable code using Node.js, TypeScript, and React

  • Participate in technical design, planning, and architectural discussions

  • Review code, give thoughtful feedback, and help unblock teammates

  • Contribute to monitoring, developer experience, and operational practices as the product scales

  • Mentor and support junior engineers, helping grow both skills and confidence across the team

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is impact-driven, ambitious, and comfortable with ambiguity — someone who takes ownership naturally and wants to win as a team.

Must-have experience & mindset:

  • Experience working in or for a product company (strong product ownership and user focus)

  • Proven end-to-end product development experience across multiple problem spaces

  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-ownership environments where things aren’t fully defined

  • Strong systems thinking and long-term mindset

  • A clear “team win > individual win” mentality

  • Willingness and ability to mentor junior engineers

Must-have technical skills:

  • Node.js, TypeScript, React

  • Strong understanding of the web platform and browser APIs

Bonus Points If You Also:

  • Have worked on early-stage or fast-growing products

  • Have experience with security products or regulated environments

  • Are familiar with MongoDB, GraphQL, or browser extensions

  • Have experience with AI-native development or agentic workflows

Why Join Hoxhunt?

  • Be part of a new, unproven product with strong early market pull

  • Shape not just features, but the direction, standards, and ways of working

  • High-impact role with visible ownership and real responsibility

  • Small, agile team with low hierarchy and high trust

  • A rare opportunity to move fast, learn fast, and build something that matters

Location and Salary Range

Location: Helsinki, Finland (Hybrid)

  • The team typically spends 2–5 days per week in the office

  • No strict on-site requirements, but consistent availability in Helsinki is preferred

Salary range: €5,500 – €7,000 / month, depending on experience
