Are you a Cloud & DevOps specialist passionate about building reliable cloud architectures for software and data? In this role, you'll leverage your expertise in cloud technologies, software architecture, data stacks, automation, and infrastructure as code to guide our clients’ digital development and cloud journeys – from goal-setting to go-live.

We value innovative problem solvers who are comfortable working with various public and private cloud platforms, modern development and operative tools, integration techniques, serverless and container-based architectures, data infrastructures, and security best practices. You're familiar with well-architected frameworks, high-availability live systems, and may have already completed certifications supporting your key expertise. Your role will be instrumental in enhancing our clients' efficiency and resilience – while ensuring the smooth delivery of high-quality software and data-focused solutions.

If you're driven by the potential of cloud technologies and DevOps practices to shape the future of digital services – and committed to improving everyday life through technology – we’d love to hear from you.

We’re building an inspiring workplace for experienced software engineers to help businesses and society level up their digital game. Would you like to join our diverse and growing community?

We help our clients build high-quality digital solutions – combining deep technical expertise and a human-first mindset, from strategy to delivery. We work with clients across a wide range of industries, including energy, financial services, gaming, logistics, manufacturing, retail, telecom, and the public sector. Business-critical challenges and meaningful societal impact make us tick.

What to bring on your stellar journey

We're on the lookout for talented Cloud & DevOps Consultants to join our team anywhere in Finland. Our team is diverse and dispersed, with many members residing in the capital area, the Jyväskylä and Tampere regions, and other locations throughout Finland. Many of us enjoy the flexibility of remote work, with periodic on-site days for collaborating with clients, project team members, and fellow Asteroidians.

We value individuals who have a thirst for learning and growth, those from whom others can learn, and those who’ve demonstrated commitment throughout their working history. We appreciate professionals who've navigated the full product lifecycle – from conception to completion, from design to production – and stood by their clients through thick and thin. We seek those who understand a consultant’s role and are ready to step up as trusted advisors for our clients.

Strong interpersonal skills are vital in our collaborative work environment and when working within cross-functional teams. We cherish clear communication, active listening, and effective teamwork – while placing a high emphasis on mutual respect.

Above all, we're seeking kind, authentic, and genuine people. Because nobody fits every criterion perfectly, we're more than happy to follow a people-first approach.

What we offer you

Founded by seasoned software consultants and co-owned by our employees, solving meaningful challenges using modern technology is deeply embedded in Asteroid’s DNA.

We're looking for passionate individuals excited to help our clients succeed and eager to contribute to our community and mission. Asteroid is more than a workplace – we’re a company co-owned by our employees, collectively striving to build an outstanding technology partner, an inspiring workplace, and a fairer working life.

At Asteroid, the fairest employee experience comes with market-leading compensation, job security, and mutual decision-making – underpinned by co-ownership. We're building an inspiring workplace with the nicest colleagues and a strong focus on quality of life.

Welcome to the sweet spot for senior consultants!

Safety of employment with market-leading compensation

→ Get market-leading and fully equal compensation on par with freelancing. Our consultants’ share is 80% of invoicing, which has resulted in an average yearly compensation of over €100K

→ Company shares are available equally for early birds as well as new joiners

→ We offer the market’s highest base salary, complemented by revenue sharing among co-owners – providing greater stability than freelancing or personal provisions

→ Co-ownership promotes a sense of community, a focus on human capital, and support for one another

→ Enjoy our benefits: pick virtually any gear, get premium healthcare and insurance, visit conferences, recharge on extra vacations, etc.

→ We are hybrid work-friendly and offer flexibility in work times to accommodate individual needs

Interesting projects, chosen together

→ We have extensive experience in building customer relationships and solution sales. Combined with Asteroid’s strategic partnerships, you’ll get plenty of interesting work opportunities and professional challenges

→ We solve complex challenges and build excellent multidisciplinary teams together with our ecosystem of complementary companies– meaning work that creates extraordinary customer value and fewer lone-wolf projects

→ Everyone has a say on customer commitments, and every project we choose must be a good fit for both our people and the company – bringing great results for our customers as well

→ We build deep, thriving customer relationships based on mutual trust and success. Our expertise is trusted by many of the digital frontrunners in Finland and across Europe

The surest way to find your dream job is to create it

→ Similar to open source projects, company matters and our roadmap are transparent and open to contributions. However, this is optional, and you can focus solely on customer work if you want to – all of the business development and administrative duties are taken care of

→ Let open dialogue flourish and the best ideas win when it comes to developing our company – without obscure titles, rigid hierarchies, and the perils of groupthink to get in the way

→ We prefer a company size where everyday things are human-centric, high-quality, and fun

→ We have a strong focus on quality of life – there’s also life outside of work, and it’s important for us to make it good. We also get together for team days, monthly meetings, and activities to get to know each other better and enjoy life

Asteroid is all about partnership. It often begins with recruitment, hence we're committed to making it an insightful and pleasant experience. The goal of our recruitment isn’t just to assess your consulting and technical skills, but also to foster mutual understanding and alignment. We’re eager to understand what you desire from your professional future – and in turn, to discuss the opportunities we can provide. Tailored per your future plans, we're happy to carry out the process in two weeks as well as in two years.

To apply, we want to hear about you in your own words. Share your experiences, passions, ambitions, or anything else you believe we should know. We’re excited to get to know you!
