ILKKA HORSMA, Software Craftsman & Founder 

What made you apply for a job at Miil?
I didn't really apply to Miil, but I started a business. The establishment started with the idea of providing business-oriented software consulting and putting the developer at the centre. In other words, you can find developers for projects that learn new things in the project and whose mindset is business-oriented rather than technology-oriented.

Hiring the first employee in a certain way. It takes responsibility not only for itself, but also for the fact that there is enough work for others. It can be compared in a certain way to the birth of one's own child.

At the moment, I'm trying to develop my supervisor skills and MS Azure skills.

I am the year 1989 Finnish iceball champion in E-juniors.

NOORA LEINONEN, People, Marketing & Operations Lead

What made you pick you up for Miili?
I headhunted Ilkka and Ilkka headhunted me, that's where it started. In Miili I was fascinated by being able to build a company from the very beginning, to create a company that looks like your own.

ILKKA SIVONEN, Solutions Architect

What made you apply to Miili?
I chose Miil because Miili has experience in domain-driven design and event-based architectures that I have already discovered, which I believe are key tools both in designing new IT and software architectures and in updating existing ones.
