Why would you choose us?

The future moves on rails. It is not insignificant how digital solutions for rail transport are developed. When working with us, you are close to the business, development is long-term, and you can directly see the impact and benefits of your work.

In recent years, we have modernised our environments, brought development in-house, and created new digital services with strong ambition. We claim that although we are not yet finished in everything, we are also not quite as rigid as we might sometimes be perceived as an employer. The journey is still ongoing, and with your expertise you will have the opportunity to make an impact.

We want to create the best possible employee experience, because we believe it leads to the best customer experience. We value flexibility at work, opportunities for remote work, and balancing work with family life. In addition to competitive employee benefits, you will have the opportunity to travel freely on Finland’s railways. Investing in digitalisation plays a crucial role in ensuring that the future moves responsibly on rails and that we continue to serve as a backbone of Finnish society.
