Join us!

What if summer 2025 made all the difference in kick-starting your future career journey as a Software Developer? Now is your chance to spend the summer doing what you would love doing the most professionally: building digital products at one of Finland’s leading digital engineering and innovation companies.

We’re always happy to hear from curious, motivated people who are eager to learn, grow, and share our values. Read more about the role and apply by Friday, March 28th, 2025!

📍This position is located in Helsinki or Tampere.

About the role

Your summer will consist of project work either in one of our external client projects or in an internal development project - or perhaps a bit of both. You will be working alongside an experienced cross-disciplinary team to learn the craft of modern software consulting.

We hope you have some experience of these:

• React & React Native
• TypeScript
• Node.js
• Kubernetes & Docker
• Azure / AWS experience seen as a plus

Here’s a little checklist to help you figure out if we are a match for each other:

• You have most of your relevant programming studies behind you and your graduation may be lurking around the corner, or have otherwise got a hold of things well enough because of your passion for digital things.
• You have already done some cool code that actually works either on a web browser or on a mobile device. In both of the cases, we'd like to see what you have created.
• You really want to learn more about programming and one day become a world-class professional in the field.
• You take ownership of tasks and drive them toward great outcomes.
• You are fluent in Finnish and English.
  
  On top of learning and interesting projects, you get to network with our active international Slack community, you get to participate in Futurice events, and enjoy a wide list of Futurice provided benefits. If you’re up for it, there might be a possibility to continue your Futurice journey after summer.

A word from a previous Summer Trainee

So that you would get an even better picture how the summer at Futurice would look like we asked our former Summer Trainee to share her biggest learnings with you.

"Working on a project that is not my own. You learn a lot when you have to read the code someone else has made, you have to understand it in order to make changes to it."

– Henna Mäkiluoma, Software Developer

Don’t worry, we don’t expect you to know everything beforehand. The main expectation for you is to be willing and able to learn a lot. Here are three tips from last year's trainees:

1️⃣ You should always apply. Even if you don’t get hired, the application process is a valuable learning experience.

2️⃣ Showcase all your projects, no matter how simple they are.

3️⃣ Don’t get discouraged. Landing a job is difficult, especially if it’s your first one.

If you get good vibes after reading this, we would love to hear from you!
