About Vaella

Vaella is a European technology company building privacy-first intelligence for buildings — real-time occupancy, people flow, and digital twins for metro stations, airports, and offices. Our LiDAR sensors measure distance, not identity, so analytics work without camera-style surveillance or GDPR headaches.

We’re a small, product-focused team in Helsinki. You’ll ship real features to real deployments, not slide decks.

What you’ll do

  • Build and improve our web platform (Vue 3, TypeScript, Vuetify) — dashboards, 3D station views, and live data

  • Work on our AWS backend — APIs, real-time pipelines, and serverless services (Python, with room to learn Rust where it matters)

  • Fix bugs, write tests, and participate in code reviews with the founding team

  • Learn how edge devices, LiDAR, and building systems fit together — you don’t need robotics experience on day one

  • Take ownership of small features end-to-end: spec → implementation → deploy

What we’re looking for

  • Some hands-on coding experience — coursework, internships, personal projects, or your first job

  • Comfort with at least one of: JavaScript/TypeScriptPython, or a similar language you can transfer from

  • Basic understanding of web apps (HTTP, APIs, Git)

  • Curiosity about how software runs in the real world — sensors, latency, reliability

  • Clear communication in English

  • Right to work in Finland (or willingness to relocate)

Nice to have (not required)

  • Vue or React experience

  • AWS or other cloud exposure

  • Interest in 3D graphics, IoT, or data visualization

  • Computer science or engineering studies (in progress or completed)

Why join us now

  • Early-stage product with live customer deployments — your code reaches metro stations and airports

  • Small team: short feedback loops, real responsibility, no layers of management

  • Privacy-first European deep tech — meaningful problems, not ad optimization

  • Hybrid-friendly; we’re based in Helsinki

What excites us

You’ve built something yourself — a web app, a tool, a thesis project — and you can walk us through how it works. You ask good questions, admit when you’re stuck, and care about code that other people can read.
