Juha Randelin

Hi! Hi!

My name is Juha Randelin, and I work as a DevOps Specialist. I’ve been working in the IT field with customers from various industries, including finance, energy, and media. I consider myself a "jack of all trades" in IT, though my expertise lies in Quality Assurance in Software Development. I’ve held diverse roles within QA, with tasks ranging from manual testing to building and maintaining automated CI pipelines. In my current role, I help the client with automated testing and maintain the infrastructure solution for test automation.

The first thing that attracted me to NorthCode was the shared ownership model and the opportunity to work in a smaller organization. In previous roles with large organizations, I found that individual contributions could sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Here, I appreciate knowing everyone in the company and that they’re all seasoned professionals.

I find great satisfaction in solving complex issues in my daily work. Time flies when you’re pushing your brain to the limit, solving challenges, and continuously learning new things. NorthCode is a great company because we avoid organizational mumbo-jumbo, thanks to our low-hierarchy structure. I also value how NorthCode motivates everyone to participate in shared decisions. We discuss and make choices transparently, ensuring everyone’s opinion is heard and considered. While there’s no expectation to comment or join every conversation, it’s empowering to know that we all have that option.

I’m proud of the thoughtful decisions we’ve made to make NorthCode the best workplace in the industry. Our simple and transparent base salary model is one example, and I appreciate our shared understanding that remote work is the new normal.

Outside of work, I have a daughter who keeps me busy after working hours, and I enjoy taking long walks with my Schipperke dog. We recently moved from Helsinki to the countryside, and our new "mansion" needs plenty of upkeep, which has become my somewhat annoying hobby of fixing and improving things around the house. Other hobbies include disc golfing, playing video games, going to the gym, alpine skiing/snowboarding, and traveling.
