Since 2008, we at Qvik have been building mobile experiences for consumers, e.g. in the fields of media, finance, travel and mobility, and retail. If you’ve used Yle Uutisvahti media services or MaaS Global’s Whim app for commuting, booked trips through Aurinkomatkat, traveled with Tallink Silja or used Sanoma’s Aku Ankka Lataamo app to read cartoons, our developers and designers have been there to create your digital experience. We also supported our customer St1 to bring Apple Pay to Finland by building St1 Finance’s mobile app and infrastructure as well as the Apple Pay integration. We are also currently cooperating with major Finnish companies in the fields of, for example, finance and logistics, on services that most Finns will be using in the near future.
Do these sound like projects you would have liked to work on? If so, come and work with our next ones!
Responsibilities
We’re now looking for new Qvikies to join our front-end team! In this role you’ll get a chance to collaborate with business and API teams to build simple, scalable and innovative mobile and web experiences. You’ll manage the complete development cycle including testing, integration, and publishing. We will, of course, offer you colleagues who’ll help you further to master (native) apps using only one codebase – and all the tools needed to create superb things with JavaScript!
We have React / React Native Qvikies in teams working at, for example, our media, travel, and finance sector customers.
What we're looking for
You have experience in building web or mobile applications. If you don’t have a mobile developer background, not to worry. We have a house full of those to guide you in the right direction. Motivation has to come from you, we’ll support you with the rest.
Previous experience in React and/or React Native framework(s) is needed. Your deep expertise of JS and CSS allow you to optimize your code for foolproof performance. Your forte is a strong knowledge of “Vanilla” JavaScript. Also an understanding of Android and iOS ecosystems – and their guidelines for app development – are things that interest you and that you, preferably, already master. You’re also someone who’s equally passionate about what makes great UX as well as solid front-end architecture.
You have experience interfacing with REST APIs, writing unit tests, using npm and magnificent debugging and troubleshooting skills. A bonus is if you embrace such skills as experience using Flexbox layout, implementing Flux pattern, and Javascript ES6 & ES7 features. Also, Finnish skills are seen as a plus, depending on the client, in some cases even mandatory.
What we can offer
This part is clear: we offer some pretty cool projects for our developers and designers. Some of our latest projects have been related to, for example, mobility and travel, payments and machine learning.
A big part of our competence development comes through everyday work, but we also have guilds, meetups and coaching to support Qvikies in their professional growth. Our benefits package is nice and extensive, including lunch, sports and culture coupons; commuter benefit; work equipment of your choice and phone subscription; occupational health care with extra insurances; massage at the office; annual employee bonus; and many sports and hobby possibilities with other Qvikies. In spring 2019, we will also have a villa in Mauritius for Qvikies and their families to share to have a holiday or work remotely.
