• Work together with developers, designers, data specialists, and the client to clarify ambiguous requirements, define the best course of action, and together shape the end result
• Be responsible for leading an AWS based on software development project for our long-term customer.
• Commit working code, perform code reviews for peers, and help develop the team’s ways of working
• Take your share of responsibility for the team and the project, and have the vision and drive to do more than just type in the code
  

We are looking for a skilled collaborator looking to learn more and help others learn and who has:

• Experience working with modern technologies in a Technical Lead role for 7+ years using Kafka.
• Experience in using AWS cloud services
• Experience in using Snowflake is a big advance
• Ability and willingness to learn new software development technologies and methods
• Good collaboration skills: You share what you learn, help others, learn from your peers, and ask for help when you need it
• Good communication skills and fluency in Finnish (required) and English
