Timo joined Softera in 2006 as a software developer. Today he works as a senior software architect in the Softera T360° product-development team — responsible, among other things, for UI design, order handling and self-service.

No shortage of challenges

A long career at the same company sometimes raises questions — but the IT field renews so fast that even within the same company the work can change many times over.

"Sure, I've sometimes felt a bit like a dinosaur when others change jobs. But the IT field has changed so much over these years that there's been no shortage of the right kind of challenges."

Flexibility for life situations

One key reason for the long career is flexibility. When Timo's son was born, he was on childcare leave for nearly six months — and at Softera the situation was understood and arranged accordingly.

Taking life situations into account isn't special treatment at Softera — it's how things are done. The same flexibility shows in everyday life: working hours are adjusted to the situation.

A great team and trusting customers

"We genuinely have great people: they're skilled, and it's actually fun to do things together. Our customers trust us and value a long-term approach."
