Rakettitiede – The Short Version
Why?
We exist to put the best expertise to use in the best way possible. Our Rocket culture dictates that every rocket scientist gets to choose their own placement and task – because that’s when the magic happens.
We provide you with challenges you will want to choose. And when you do, we’ll tend to your every financial, professional and psychological need.
What?
At Rakettitiede, you get to focus on software development and solve unique problems in client product development teams. Our developer consultants earn their daily bread and margarine working on demanding web and mobile services, IoT and embedded systems – at client sites or remotely, wherever works. AI is an integral part of the work.
How?
Does doing right by the client matter more to you than doing what’s easiest for yourself or what makes the invoice look biggest? In this work, the view always extends well beyond your own toes.

Support crew
An interesting assignment, the right client and solid back-up. Every consultant has their own caretaker, a fellow developer you can grab by the sleeve of their moon suit when you need a sounding board, a chat or a sparring partner. In addition to the caretaker system, our 50+ developer consultants are backed by the Rocket Accelerators (our sales team) and the rest of the office crew at the mothership. They make sure day-to-day life runs smoothly for both consultant and client.
