What we expect from you
As a software architect, you work as part of an agile development team and also participate hands-on in the development of the project. You have years of experience in the software industry and are fluent in numerous technologies and programming languages.
As a software architect, you get to plan and lead nationally significant software projects, in which previous coaching and sparring experience is useful in this role. In addition to development work, you are comprehensively involved with the customer or in the project throughout its life cycle and work closely with the customer in converting the business plan into a technical roadmap. You support both the team and the customer’s product owner in the architectural work while you develop long-term sustainable solutions. A personal security clearance can be made for the person selected for the position.
We value versatile experience, but at the same time, we want to offer opportunities for growth both in terms of new technologies and industries. With us, you can truly influence your own career path and what your role will become. At the core of being a Goforean is also sharing your own expertise, and you can act as a mentor to younger developers.
Our official language is English, but in many of our customer projects the working language is Finnish. Finnish language skills are not mandatory to us, but they help you find work in our varied customer projects. Therefore Finnish language skills are considered an advantage in our recruitment process.
Salary development
For us it is important that Goforeans receive reasonable total compensation for their work. The compensation is the outcome of, not only experience and skills, but also active work for our two values: being a good workplace for everyone and considering customer perspective in everything we do The feedback that you receive, your utilisation rate (we are consultants, after all!) and your own professional development are central in the salary discussions with your People Leader (i.e. supervisor).
We have different salary models, and in addition to the monthly salary, we have separate bonuses linked with the company’s success. Bonuses can be related to, for example, recruitment, sales or actions advancing Gofore’s employer brand.
Freelancing? Oh yes!
The form of employment no longer defines the career you can create. You can offer your expertise for our open positions also as a freelancer. Just select ‘Freelancer’ in the below application form and we’ll connect you with the right people.
We recognise and understand neurodiversity, and are willing to adapt our recruitment process based on your needs.
