Web Developer

Pixels Helsinki is currently looking for a Mid to Senior level Web Developer to join their close-knit international and outgoing team. As a Web Developer at Pixels you’ll be working in a well managed team of developers, which is coached by a Lead Developer. You’ll be creating outstanding digital user experiences for Pixels clients and Pixels own internal projects together with other developers. In this position your daily tasks include not only programming, but also reviewing your colleagues’ work, contributing to the improvement of Pixels internal tools and development processes, and supporting the design team with technical advice. You will also get a chance to share your expertise and experience in this position and act as a mentor to the less experienced developers if you are willing to do that and have enough experience for it.

At Pixels the developers usually meet each other weekly and work on projects in pairs, so that you’ll always have people to bounce ideas with and come up with the best end results. While the clients and their needs are varying, you’ll get to challenge your skills in different projects and in creating the best possible solutions for clients’ needs. At Pixels the Website and Online Stores are usually made with WordPress and the web applications are commonly React or Node based. Pixels also has a number of Headless WordPress projects using a Next.js based frontend, and they are working to move towards this direction with Website projects (and eventually Online Stores) in the future. Their projects also often involve integrations which tend to be PHP based.

An Ideal candidate for Pixels would be a logical and humorous person with fluent english skills. An ideal candidate would also have at least several years of work life experience and earlier experience from client projects. An ideal candidate would also be able to work both independently and as part of a team. To Pixels it is also important that you would be flexible and willing to commit.

Pixels hopes that you are able to start working as soon as possible. In this position you can work almost entirely remotely, but you’ll need to be able to commute to Pixels office in Helsinki every now and then for meetings and team events (once Covid19 clears). Depending on your background the salary range for this position is 3000 – 4500 € / month.
