SENIOR NODE.JS DEVELOPER

Want to join us in building a better tomorrow together? We are now recruiting a Senior Node.js Developer to our team in Estonia! People join us to become a part of a diverse community of experienced professionals and continuous learners. And people stay for the same reason. At Solita, you will find an easy-going work culture where you can be yourself no matter who you are.

We are developing solutions for both private and public sector customers. We don’t have customers from any specific business area, as we concentrate on having varied projects that are meaningful. This can mean that we have an impact on how we help users find more convenient routes, we get to use the newest technologies or we handle a global pandemic. Solita's projects are a combination of dev, data, cloud, and service design. The diversity of our projects also gives opportunities for continuous learning and rotation. Read about our projects here: https://www.solita.fi/en/customers/ . We’re not unicorns here – just ordinary people. However, those ordinary people make one big unicorn in the form of a team. We don’t put emphasis on individual performances as it’s all about teamwork and helping each other out.

These qualities help you to succeed in this position:
- You are a TypeScript expert or you want to become one, strong experience on other backend technologies help

- You might have some experience in cloud services, information security, or CI/CD

For us, the most important thing above any specific technologies is that you have good software development practices, and that you are willing to learn new ones. The potential for growth and learning is the core of our recruitment.

We will offer you in turn:
- Possibility to grow and widen your knowledge in new areas that are interesting for you. For example, many of our developers are interested in working with cloud technologies
