We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join us at Boku in Estonia, Tartu. You would be working for the Trident Bundling team, which helps merchants and partners scale globally by creating cost-effective, value-driven product and service bundles.

 

You will be responsible for all the stages of the software development life cycle (from technical preparations to testing your code and monitoring the outcome if needed).

Your main goal is to bring the ideas of stakeholders into life - deliver products and features to our clients, that have a direct impact on their revenue and market positioning. You will have good opportunities to exchange knowledge and drive initiatives together with engineers from the whole organization.

 

Key Responsibilities:

Above all, we are looking for someone, who is eager to learn and grow under the hands of our very experienced team. We believe that with the right attitude, anything can be achieved.

  • Basic understanding of testing, continuous integration, and deployment practices, with an eagerness to develop skills in these areas.
  • Enthusiasm for contributing to software architecture, quality, and user experience while learning from experienced team members. You will write code, participate in code reviews, and gain hands-on experience with maintaining services in production using a modern toolset.
  • Open-minded, hands-on, passionate, creative – a doer who loves turning ideas into reality.
  • We value in-person collaboration at our Tartu office and believe it enhances teamwork and results. While this is a hybrid role, with flexibility to work remotely, occasional on-site presence in Tartu is essential. Ideally, you should live in Tartu or close by, as face-to-face teamwork strengthens our relationships and helps us achieve better results together.

 

YOU WILL GET EXTRA CREDITS FOR:

  • Hands-on experience with cloud computing tools, especially AWS (RDS, S3, DynamoDB).
  • Familiarity with async systems and messaging brokers like RabbitMQ.
  • Passion for all things data - Whether it's data engineering, working with Amazon Redshift, or architecting data solutions. Openness to exploring cloud-first options like DynamoDB, and others.
  • Completed bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field
  • Enthusiasm for taking the initiative to propose solution designs
  • A competitive spirit at the ping pong table
