Job Description
Columbia Road is looking for software developers to advise, design and implement the tech needed to drive our clients’ business forward.
Who we are

Our tight-knit team consists of business consultants who understand software and of highly talented business-driven design and technology specialists. We believe that technology is a tool that we need to master, but the actual business impact of the service is the first thing we want to understand and select proper tooling after that.

Columbia Road is a part of the Futurice family of companies.
The job amp; what you’d be working on
As a software consultant at Columbia Road, you will be working in a high-impact role in the core of our clients’ businesses:
- You’ll code, build storefronts, and work with APIs and integrations
- You’ll consult, plan, and implement the tech needed to drive business results forward
- You’ll get to actively develop your craft and consulting skills in complex and professionally rewarding digital sales environments in both B2C and B2B
- You’ll have various means for accelerating your professional growth and learning through extensive learning opportunities such as recurring training, tech learning sharing sessions, certifications and interesting project work to mention some
Columbia Road’s focus on digital sales still means that we are tackling a large variety of projects ranging from ecommerce platforms and data platform projects to site optimisation and mobile development. To mention a few:
- We help Elisa run modern online sales in a fully integrated team
- We’re helping Vahterus on their digital sales transformation journey
- We’re working with Posti on a scalable ecommerce platform.
Our ways of working
Roadies work in teams of designers, developers, and marketing technology experts tailored to each project. As we believe that best results arise from employee freedom, all teams have wide latitude to choose the best tools and ways of working for themselves and the people in the client organisation. This also means that your technology stack and specific role may vary between projects.
We offer a wide range of learning opportunities as continuous learning is one of our core values, therefore you will be offered various learning opportunities in your daily work as well as internal learning events, training, and meetups to share and enlarge your knowledge.
Even as your focus is likely on some part of the stack (frontend, backend, integrations or other), we value people who aren’t too afraid to get their hands dirty with the other areas when necessary.
All of our consultants work directly with client stakeholders to build a good understanding of their business and its challenges. While development is probably where most of your time goes, we are in the business of creating impact for our clients, and that means spending some time to understand how the business functions.
We help our clients in translating business opportunities into actionable plans and concrete solutions. Read more about how we code and design high performing digital sales channels. When it comes to remote versus on-site, we are flexible and always work according to what’s best for our clients - we hope that you can commit to spending at least a few days a week at our client’s premises.
Professional benefits for you
- Working in the core of our clients’ businesses; advising, designing and implementing the tech needed to drive the business forward
- Working directly with the client - no middle management involved
- A clear focus on digital sales, in both B2C and B2B
- You'll have the best people to work with and learn from in a truly flat organisation
- A diverse and inclusive workplace
- We pay extra attention to professional growth and learning at Columbia Road, and we do this proactively. Our internal learning opportunities come in many forms: events, courses, certifications, and weekly learning sessions, to name a few.
Requirements
- Work experience from a previous position in software development
- Experience in building web services and familiarity with both frontend and backend development. Your focus can be more on the frontend, backend or broader systems but you aren’t afraid to jump in at any point. Languages familiar to you could include e.g. JavaScript (and frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js), Scala, Go,
