Hey, awesome!

Ever crafted code so compelling that Git itself seems to whisper, 'Commit! I – need – to – merge – it'? We’re on the hunt for a developer whose badass code commands attention.

Are you the kind of web developer who finds joy in bending Wordpress to your will, creating themes and plugins that are as unique as they are functional? If you see Wordpress not just as a tool, but as a canvas for digital artistry, we’re looking for you to bring that vision to life at the edge of the world.

Vitikka is an independent digital agency located at the northernmost point of Europe, the North Cape. If you seek an arctic adventure, where climatic challenges combined with demanding projects will test you - we would love to have you join our team locally in the north of Norway.
