Are you the developer your team turns to when a query slows down, a replica falls behind or a database upgrade needs planning? If you answer yes, then keep reading and see if your next career step could be with us at Remion.\n\nWhy choose us?\n\nWe are a work community of about 50 people where technical expertise, engineering spirit, helping others, and flexibility meet. Our team has a diverse background, ranging from professionals from large companies to recent graduates. We share a passion for solving technical challenges, a general interest in technology, strong professional pride, and a genuine goal for high-quality work.\n\nOur development team of 30+ developers have their hands full, and we are on the search for a backend developer with strong PostgreSQL skills to join us. You will work on customer projects directly with our clients. Your goal is to develop, optimize, and maintain backend systems and the databases they rely on, to meet our customers' needs.\n\nWith us, you will have the opportunity to impact on our customers' businesses, and we value long-term customer partnerships. Customer relationships last for years, and projects are carried out as needed. Some of our customers have dedicated teams that work with the same customer continuously and for a very long period.\n\nAbout the role\n\nYou will develop backend systems that receive and process large amounts of time series data from thousands of industrial devices and produce valuable information for our customers. Our Regatta IoT platform runs both on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and in customers' own data centers.\n\nThe role has two key areas:\n\nBackend development (most of your time). You develop and maintain Java-based backend services and integrations in our customer projects and in our Regatta platform.\n\nDatabase ownership (a dedicated share of your time). You are one of the owners of the self-hosted PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB environments we run for our customers. This includes a high-availability cluster (Patroni) in a customer's data center: monitoring, backups and restore testing, performance analysis, version upgrades and capacity planning. You will not be alone with this: you will work together with our developers and an experienced database consultant, and you help us grow this expertise within the team.\n\nWe aim to work in an AI-assisted development model where intelligent agents are a key part of the software development process. Developers act as architects, supervisors, and quality owners. We value experience working alongside AI tools and coding agents, where you guide execution, review outputs critically, and ensure architectural integrity.\n\nWe value\n\nTrust – Trust at Remion is multi-directional. Colleagues trust each other and the management, and the management equally trusts the employees. We believe that trust creates a solid foundation for our operations.\n\nFlexibility – Flexible working hours and location-independent work are everyday matters for us. The management is always ready to discuss and be flexible on matters important to the employees.\n\nHelping others – Helping and asking for help is everyday for us. There may not be written instructions for everything, but it is guaranteed that when asked, help and instructions are always available.\n\nAre you the one we are searching for?\n\nYou have several years of experience in backend development, and you have worked with PostgreSQL in production and not only as an application database, but also from the operations side. You can read an execution plan, you know why autovacuum matters, and you have taken part in database upgrades, backups or restores. You are curious to go deeper, document what you learn and share it with your colleagues.\n\nAdditionally, the Industrial Internet of Things is a familiar concept to you. Knowledge of the engineering industry is considered an advantage. You have natural precision and eye for software design. We hope you are proactive, ask when you get stuck, and are ready to help colleagues.\n\nRequired\n\nBackend development, preferably Java 17+ (Maven, Jakarta EE or Quarkus)\n\nStrong SQL and PostgreSQL skills in production: query and index optimization, execution plans, vacuum, roles and permissions\n\nExperience with PostgreSQL operations: backups and restores, upgrades, replication or monitoring\n\nLinux server environments\n\nConsidered an advantage\n\nTimescaleDB or other time series databases (hypertables, compression, retention)\n\nPostgreSQL high availability (Patroni or similar) and backup tools such as pgBackRest\n\nAnsible or other infrastructure automation\n\nDocker / Podman, Kubernetes\n\nDatadog or other monitoring tools\n\nAWS and Azure IoT solutions\n\nAI tools and agents\n\nTypescript\n\nWith your expertise and skills, you are a part of creating good customer experience. Your work contributes to how the customer can utilize the data in their devices and derive benefits for their business, and to keeping that data safe and available.\n\nIdeally, we're looking for someone based in the Pirkanmaa area who enjoys a strong office culture and likes coming to the office. There's no office mandate, but at Remion we do believe that in-person collaboration and everyday face-to-face encounters bring real value. We're also putting a lot of effort into developing our office culture and making the office a place where people genuinely enjoy spending time. On most days, there are plenty of people at the office, which creates a nice sense of community.\n\nWe offer\n\nComprehensive employment benefits. Read more here.\n\nWe have initially outlined a salary range of €4,800 – €5,800. We are happy to hear your thoughts on the salary and wish to have an open discussion about the matter in the first steps of the recruitment process.\n\nWhat's next?\n\nProceed to our career pages, apply and tell us a bit about yourself. Also, we would be super excited to hear about the most interesting database problem you have solved.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6036,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Finland","iso":"FI","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Industrial IoT (IIoT)"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T08:59:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":77244,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/remion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/remion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T15:26:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":31045,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":710739},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=710739"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fremion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fremion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fremion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/remion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fremion-software-developer-java-backend-postgresql-expert"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4150762}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"remion.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4150762},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
