At KONE Technology and Innovation (KTI) , we’re shaping the future of urban movement by combining the physical world (elevators, escalators) with the digital one. Our Digital Innovation Team works like a startup inside KONE: fast, hands-on, and grounded in real user problems. We build solutions from scratch, taking ideas from early concept to pilot and global scale.
You’ll be part of a cross-functional team where designers, developers, and product thinkers work closely together without silos. We experiment quickly, validate ideas with real users, and focus on creating meaningful impact. Our work contributes directly to KONE’s key strategies to accelerate our digital transformation.
We’re looking for a hands-on backend and cloud developer who enjoys building scalable services, clean APIs, and robust cloud infrastructure. You’ll work closely with our frontend and design team to bring new digital concepts to life.
We typically work 3 days per week in the Espoo office in Finland to collaborate, sketch, and test ideas together. The rest of the time, you can work remotely depending on what suits you and your projects.
