We are looking for a developer to start a new era in Slurp’s technical development.

TL;DR

• Together we’ll create something the world has not yet seen.
• Curiosity and passion to learn and try new things.
• Full stack (or curiosity to quickly adopt new technologies).
• Modern JavaScript (or TypeScript) and HTML/CSS skills
• Bonus points from C# (.net) or other object oriented language, some functional language, UX & machine learning interest/experience.
• Fluent English (Finnish and other languages appreciated).
• Location Helsinki, Finland.

So far we have been working with technologies and limitations posed mainly by the capabilities of the founders. Most of the things you see on our current web page are self-developed with some outsourced exceptions.

Currently the site is slow and relies on technologies that are closer to being teenagers — and are exactly as cooperative as you’d expect a teenager to be. We want to change this completely: we are now embarking on a path to become a staple of technological innovation. We have already imagined the path, but we lack the person who has the skill to turn it into reality.

To give an idea about what our future will hold, we are changing our whole system from a typical, centralised WordPress solution to a scalable, device agnostic progressive web app that will be built out of independent modules to enable flexibility.

As our first full time developer, we need you to be comfortable no matter whether you are working on scalable server architecture, fine-tuning frontend user experience or brainstorming unforeseen technological approaches. In short, a full stack type of person.

You will have real opportunity to make your mark and affect change on a global level — not only on how coffee is consumed, but how technology can be applied to everyday life and to affect cultural change.

Currently we use mostly JavaScript, C# and PHP, but from the last one we are hoping to move away from as soon as possible. Above all we’d like you to be fluent in modern JavaScript (or TypeScript), perhaps even have some experience with a functional language and an interest in machine learning.

Lastly, but most importantly, we need a person who shares our endless curiosity towards new things and wants to make a difference.

We’d love to hear from you!
