If developing digital with world-class Drupal & Next.js devs sounds good, then keep reading, apply and maybe you will sooner than later be one of us!
This is not the first job ad you see, but we sincerely hope you would read this one – as you will find out a lot about Mearra as a company. This particular position requires the ability to communicate fluently in Finnish; something we wanted you to know already at this point.
If you wish to work with vivid grown-ups willing to grow and learn, you enjoy building together for a common goal – innovating and implementing in order to create smooth digital solutions, Mearra could be your thing. No uniforms, no strict rules, come as you are! We celebrate diversity since this brings innovation and creativity.
At Mearra, you work for us, with us and in development teams on clients’ projects – we do not rent you to another company.
Are you a home office, company office, or hybrid person? Not that it would make any change for us, as “Work from where you want and when you want” is one of our mottos. We encourage people in multiple ways to make the most of our flexible work terms in order to maintain optimal work/free time -balance. But our offices in Helsinki, Turku, Tallinn, Riga and Valmiera are pretty awesome too - so you truly can choose whatever suits you best. A combination of Mearra’s offices and home office is now the most common way to work for the majority of us.
What we expect from you
We are looking for an experienced engineer with strong problem-solving skills and the ability to absorb complex technical concepts, especially around data and APIs. You will be working in agile teams, producing clean architecture and building solutions using maintainable code.
We expect 5+ years or corresponding overall development experience.
We expect you to communicate fluently in English (our internal working language) and to have full professional language proficiency in Finnish. We have offices in Finland, Estonia & Latvia (so awesome, if also familiar with Estonian or Latvian!)
What tech do we use
- Modern JS stack. Node.js, ES6+, Next.js, npm. We appreciate experience developing JavaScript in the backend and TypeScript knowledge.
- GraphQL. You are familiar with Apollo Server, and you could see yourself grasping fragments, federation and excited to learn frameworks like Dgraph.
- Drupal. We extensively use Drupal as our CMS, and MySQL (MariaDB). We value your experience with SQL and relational DBs, but PHP/Drupal knowledge is not a hard requirement for this position.
We don’t expect you to be familiar with every one of these technologies mentioned (seriously!). However, we are really looking for a growth mindset and perseverance in dealing with technical complexity.
Bonus points
- Experience leading and mentoring is very valued.
- We love ElasticSearch and empowering our clients with the best search experiences.
- Any knowledge in ES or related Lucene knowledge is a big plus.
- We don’t require studies in Computer Science, but if you have a solid foundation, make sure to mention it.
- You know what k8s stands for. To empower our developers, we use Kubernetes and CI in most of our projects. Check Mearra’s open-source Silta.
I’m very stoked about Silta and what it has to offer to us developers. The flexibility in tech in this company has been fantastic to see! I’m also amazed at how helpful and caring this company is for its employees.

I see an opportunity to grow both ways - in the areas that I am already comfortable in and also the ones that I’m interested in.
Support, development and growth
- You will belong to a guild (Frontend, System builders or Tech Leads guild), where you share knowledge and get support.
- As a Wunderer, the guild lead will have growth discussions with you, and you will agree on what resources you need to adapt to your way of learning.
- 360-degree feedback annually, to understand your strengths and keep progressing in your career.
- Find new responsibilities & challenges with our resourcing team.
- Visit events and conferences to learn more about the industry.
Mearra people get to:
- Execute the work in your own way while your account manager, project manager, co-workers and guild members answer your questions and support you for a smooth project experience so you can do the best job.
- Share knowledge and support in problem-solving within your guild.
- Freedom to be who they are and to grow into what they dream of being.
I felt appreciated already on the first day when I started and I think that the culture of the organisation is the thing that keeps me still working for Mearra.
