Juuso Backman is a seasoned senior software developer with over a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems, automation, and full-stack products across startups and larger engineering orgs. He leans toward backend and cloud-native ops—Kubernetes and Azure feature prominently in his recent work—while remaining fluent in modern frontend libraries and browser debugging. Juuso thrives in shifting roles, from developer to coach or facilitator, and is known for proactively taking ownership and driving improvements without heavy direction. His background includes high-throughput services at Unity Ads, splitting monoliths into microservices, and building DIAS’s platform functionality and tooling in Clojure and Kotlin. Comfortable in consultancy and product teams alike, he combines pragmatic engineering with a curiosity-driven approach that surfaces practical process and tooling gains. Based in Espoo, Finland, he brings a pragmatic jack-of-all-trades mindset with deep pockets of mastery in backend architecture and automation.
