Open Position: Junior Software Engineer

---

At Havuja, we build software and systems that connect robotics, sensors, and optics into real, working machines — from lab instruments to field systems. As we continue to expand, we’re now looking for a Junior Software Engineer who simply loves building things with code.

You don’t need a perfect CV, fancy titles, or a long work history. If you write software, enjoy making things work in the real world, and have some projects to show, we’d like to talk.

You’ll be part of a small engineering team working on:

• Building internal tools and product features for our measurement & robotics platform (e.g., data processing, dashboards, simple UIs, automation scripts).
• Integrating hardware and software: talking to cameras, sensors, and robots; moving data around; making systems reliable.
• Turning rough ideas into working prototypes: quick scripts, small services, test tools for the lab and for field pilots.
   

You’ll mostly work in Tampere, in our lab and office, with the option to work part-remote once you’re up to speed.

• You can write software (in any reasonable language – Python, C/C++, C#, Rust, JS/TS, whatever you actually use).
• You like building things, not just talking about them.
• You have some existing projects – hobby builds, school projects, open-source contributions, game mods, automation scripts, Arduino/Raspberry Pi stuff, etc. Anything that shows you enjoy making things work.
• You are willing to learn new tools and languages as needed.
• You communicate clearly in English and are okay working in a small, direct, no-nonsense team

• You must already have the right to work in Finland / EU.
• We do not provide visa sponsorship, relocation packages, or work permits at this stage.
• Please apply only if you are currently in Finland or relocating here on your own and already eligible to work.

• Your exact degree or field of study.
• Your GPA.
• Whether your experience is from paid work, student projects, or pure hobby.

• You finish things. You get stuff done and push projects over the line.
• You love building and solving problems. You enjoy making real systems work, not just writing code in theory.
• Hands-on attitude. You’re comfortable experimenting, testing, debugging, and learning by doing.
• Curiosity and hunger to learn. New tools, new technologies, new domains — you pick things up fast and enjoy the learning curve.

• Real impact: Your code runs in real systems used by real customers, not in a slide deck.
• Fast learning curve: Work next to senior engineers in robotics, optics, and metrology – and see the whole stack, not just a tiny feature.
• Small, experienced team: Direct access to founders, quick decisions, low bureaucracy.
• Premises in the Tampere region: Robots, sensors, instruments – a good playground if you like building.
• Hybrid work: On-site when it matters (lab, hardware, team sessions), remote when it doesn’t.
• Room to grow: If you show initiative and deliver, your responsibility grows with you.

Send the following to careers@havuja.ai:

• Your CV (or LinkedIn profile link).
• A short note (5–10 sentences) about a software project you’ve built:
  • What it does.
  • Why you built it.
  • What you’re proud of and what you’d improve.
• Any links you have (GitHub, GitLab, personal website, demos, screenshots, etc.).
