Room to grow

When you arrive at Solita, you don’t have to be ready. In our opinion, you never have to be. This is how we learn and grow.

When you grow, we grow

We see career paths like a landscape with many possible routes. Your path can take you through different ways of working with various technologies, customers and industries, shaped by your own background, strengths and dreams along the way.

We build flexible, personal paths that reflect who you are and where you want to grow. You’ll learn from top experts within and beyond your field, and we’ll give you opportunities to grow your skills. We offer the room to explore and find your own direction. The choice of path is yours to make.

Learning & growth

Most of our learning happens during our daily customer work. That’s why we obsess over making the best possible matches between our projects and our experts: just the right amount of challenge makes work interesting.

This is how we support learning in customer work:

  1. Focus on pair/teamwork instead of working alone
  2. Flexible job rotation: new tasks, new role, new project, new customer
  3. Trying out new tasks and approaches in current role
  4. Facilitate places (retros, dailys etc.) to give and receive feedback, learn and reflect
  5. Mentoring

  • Front-end competency learning path
  • Connectivity Consultant Architect path
  • Data Architect learning path
  • Growing as a specialist learning path

Stories from Solitans

Pauliina Mäkilä Project & Service Lead

Learning never really stops

I’d say curiosity and initiative matter more than knowing everything already. Technology evolves quickly, so the willingness to keep learning, ask questions, and focus on your own development is what helps you succeed.

Axel Lundh Integration Architect

From building integrations to seeing the bigger picture

One thing that has supported my own growth at Solita is the culture of trying things even when you don’t know everything yet. When I took on my first larger architecture assignment, I knew I could do it, but I also knew I didn’t have all the answers. What made it possible was knowing that I had good colleagues behind me if I needed help.

Agnes Norrman Advisory Data Consultant

Learning, curiosity and growing together

The data field was quite new for me when I joined Solita, so the past year has been a big learning journey. One thing I’ve appreciated is the trust I’ve been given to learn by doing while working on real projects.

I’ve also been able to take courses and have had the chance to mentor new colleagues joining Solita. Supporting others in their learning has been a great way to grow myself as well.

Peter Lahtinen AI Engineer

I want to be at the forefront of AI development

Even though I’ve only been here for less than a year, the learning curve has been incredibly steep in a good way. One thing I appreciate is that people are trusted to steer their own growth and development. Of course, there are business needs and limits, but there’s still genuine freedom to explore areas that interest you.

Mette Tobiasen Software Developer

Growing into the role through hands-on experience

I work as a Software Developer at our Lifecycle team, focusing on maintaining and developing existing systems. I joined as an intern a couple of years ago, continued in a student position alongside my studies, and moved into a full-time role right after graduating. That path gave me the chance to show how I can learn and contribute, which was a great way to start my career.
