Katana, modern manufacturing & inventory software provider, has just recently raised $11M in funding. This together with the e-commerce boom will significantly fuel the Estonian SaaS startup business growth in 2021.
This left us wondering how the everyday work and life at Katana looks like these days?
We talked withPriit Kaasik, the co-founder and CTO at Katana, and asked him tonnes of questions. The conversation went deep into their technological backbone (full stack or function based delivery? in-house development or external services?). Also, the open discussion revealed a product mistake and how heavily underused their office PS5 is.
Take a look at the interview below 👇 and get a glimpse of Katana’s mindset. Or as Priit puts it “Why become a unicorn when you could be a unicorn 140 times over?”
You have jokingly said that “Being a blank canvas and a bit naive” is actually useful when leading the engineering team. How would you describe yourself as a CTO?
There is no good way to hide that I am a process guy first and technology guy second. I aim to be the facilitator of technological advancement to best serve and innovate Katana’s manufacturing platform as a service.
Being a hybrid describes me well – excelling at combining various aspects, never in a singular discipline like coding. My strength lies in defining and driving towards the technological impact that needs to be achieved (I hope others would confirm this).
That said, my favourite pass-time is assembly and tinkering with small-factor but powerful gaming PC-s. I assemble about 2 per month for friends (for their kids) and for people who know this hobby of mine. Some may consider me a gamer, but I‘m really hanging in there because of the technology…
How would you characterize the fundamental values of Katana’s development team?
We emphasize the importance of putting on theend user’s hat and understand the business better – using full stack development and User Stories. Other main pillars would include:
💡 product delivery in increments and iteration,
💡 never reinventing a wheel,
💡 the meaning of “minimal viable”,
💡 writing cloud-native software that is robust and scales with the business.
Mainly, the development team is on a quest for a smart solution.
Let’s talk about Katana’s technological backbone. What stack do you use?
We are currently focusing on adopting Kafka more widely (lessening the importance of internal API to serve dependencies) to scale the service better horizontally.
Micro frontends are something we concentrate on – to improve parallel delivery and deployment from different product teams. And as a product, Katana has set our eyes to solutions that help us to become a manufacturing platform with a popular app store.

Katana uses Heroku, which limits people who enjoy deployment pipeline building. What kind of developers would be a perfect match with Katana?
The limitation is similar to any other choice of technology. It’s just a combination of Bitbucket Pipelines and Heroku Pipelines – a Katana flavor of it. It would greatly benefit if you:
✅ Like pattern-based engineering, building Lego blocks for yourself, your team and teams.
✅ Appreciate full stack development and the need to understand a customer.
✅ Enjoy working in an Agile team.
✅ Being a self-sufficient engineer, without the need to be actively managed and supported, is a treat we value a lot. Because we really prefer to manage people as little as possible.
A person, who enjoys tinkering and overpolishing solutions, will have a hard time at Katana. We look for engineers who understand that their value lies in their ability to dish out the “right stuff at the right time”. Not in the code worthy of a monument now and 10 years later (we value good code but not overdoing it).
What aspects are not developed in-house, but bought as an external service?
Let’s say that the scope of what Katana is doing, is roughly described here. And in order to deliver it, we use following services in Katana:
It is also important to note that Katana doesn’t have any technical operations nor DevOps people on-board. We consume data (Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Bull etc.) also as a service.
The cat or dog person question. Full stack, or front end & back end separately?
Full stack. Regarding customer features and end-to-end transactions, it’s far superior compared to function based delivery.
I have observed and participated in such designs in various top notch software development companies. In the case of web-based SaaS, I would always choose full stack to win it at the market.
It’s a focus thingie – eventually a product team has to be full stack and cross-functional, you have to work with the engineers you are able to hire.
In which case would you consider hiring front end and back end specialists instead of full stack?
To compensate for a weakness, bolster skills that are lacking or not represented enough in the company, but are important.
Looking back, what were the technical mistakes that you wish that could have been avoided when building the product? How did you fix it?
Just one thing pops to mind right away. We decided to upgrade our backend node.js framework LoopBack3 onto version 4. It has turned out to be a very expensive work with very little benefits (other than LB3 is no longer supported).
Should have assembled our own modification from a more lightweight backend framework a la NEST.
What direction are you scaling (horizontal/vertical etc)?
In all directions, of course!
But seriously, in the engineering team we emphasize the importance of horizontal scaling and the code supporting it.
Vertical scaling is for the emergencies, when the performance need is miscalculated and a performance issue quickly needs addressing. That is another reason why we chose Heroku, it really excels at this type of performance management and scaling.
Let’s imagine, I’m a newly hired engineer. How will my first days at Katana look like?
Once we agree and assemble the work gear and software set with the engineer – wintel, mac and/or Linux – you will be ready to go. You choose between onboarding in the office or remotely (your gear will be delivered at home). We use Slack and Whereby to communicate and run meetings etc. Also, this setup works really well with onboarding.
We also have a compensation system to expense the cost of home office setup and including headphones with active noise cancelling (must-have product these days).
When you’re comms-capable, the first weeks are for meeting fellow katanauts – learning the heartbeat and key information sources. In software engineering our current gold standard benchmark for the first day is to get the development environment up and running by noon, join our food club, have team lunch, fix a bug and get the fix to live by the end of the first day.
Fully remote or office?
Nobody is working fully in the office nowadays. That said, we are eagerly waiting for situation improvements, so we could restore the office experience to its former glory.
Even during the pandemic (when approached with precaution), our office has its perks (heavily underused PS5, barista-grade coffee etc). And our lunch club is still functioning! About 15% of people use the office at the moment, wear masks, and have spread out. Our office is new, roomy and really well ventilated.
Actually our new office will be ready by summer. It will be located in the newly renovated building next door to Põhjala Taproom at Noblessner. Even with new ways of working, we decided that having a joint workplace and meetings in person will remain an important part of our culture.
Double up the size of the engineering team each year!
The aim is to build a team to become a world’s leading manufacturing platform able to challenge SAP and such. You cannot really catch them otherwise – why become a unicorn when you could be a unicorn 140 times over?
But (there is always a but), business also has to grow accordingly, and so far we have mostly been hampered by lack of features to fully tackle SMB/SME manufacturing space.
Sounds like your cup of tea? Check out Katana’s current openings and apply!
Now that the second wave of the Coronavirus pandemic has started to hit the world, new travel restrictions came into place for Estonia as of last week. 😷
If you are planning to travel to Estonia, we recommend you check the news more often these days. 👀
If you are asking “is COVID-19’s comeback the only news in Estonia?”, the answer is no! The country is celebrating its 5th unicorn: congrats Pipedrive! 👏
In this week’s article, we will discuss the most recent effects of the Coronavirus pandemic on the Estonian job market and how the top 6 specialties are doing. 👀
We will also compare today’s stats with those of May, when the effects of the pandemic began to show up in the market data in most countries after the first wave.
Let’s dive into the overview and see what’s new in Estonia as of mid-November! 👇
Job Market Overview
In our previous report, we shared that by mid-October, the number of job openings finally increased by 12%. What about mid-November?
The number of job openings in the Estonian job market has increased while the job applications saw a small decline.
This means, despite the second wave looming, there are still opportunities for job seekers out there. 🤩
In the next section, we will dive into the number of openings in November versus in April and discuss the stats from different angles.
When we look at the chart, we can see that there was a small increase both in offered and expected salaries by mid-November. 📈
The gap between the salaries persists.
Finally, some good news. Market competitiveness in Estonia – which was at the “difficult level” last month – has almost reached the “OK level”.
This means there are more openings and opportunities for job seekers and more need for talent on the employer side. 😊
Job openings in Top 6 Specialties: November vs May
In this section, we will compare the number of job openings as of today with those in May. 🕵️♀️
When we look at the chart, we can see that the number of job openings are lower in November in all specialties compared to May. 📉
✅ Sales and Business Development saw the largest decline.
✅ Even the number of openings in Software Engineering – the star specialty of the year (and apparently of the future) – decreased significantly.
✅ (Tech) Project Management saw a small decline. But please note that this industry had a relatively low number of openings in May.
Now that there is promising vaccine news and we can be more optimistic about the future, let’s hope better days are ahead in terms of the economy and of course, the number of job openings worldwide and in Estonia. 🙏
Offered Salaries: November vs May
A lot has changed in 2020 and one of them has been the state of the economy worldwide. 🎢
Let’s see how the first and second waves of the Coronavirus pandemic have affected the offered salaries in the Estonian job market.
There are 3 main takeaways from the chart below:
➡️ Software Engineering, Marketing, PR & Design, and Customer Support have seen a decline since May. The last two industries do not come as a surprise to us, as the market competitiveness has been mostly high for both industries for the entire year.
➡️ IT & Sysadmin saw the highest increase. If you are looking for a job opportunity and your expertise is IT & Sysadmin, keep an eye on the openings coming up at the moment. 👀
➡️ Sales & Business Development and Project Management fields also saw a moderate increase in offered salaries.
Market Competitiveness Per Specialty
How has it been to find a job in Estonia lately? Which specialties are offering the most opportunities?
In this section, we will answer these questions – comparing the November data with May’s. 👀
The offered gross salaries and the number of job openings may not present a lovely picture of the Estonian job market. But if we have a deeper look into market competitiveness, we can see that things are slowly getting better.
💡 The “yay, now it’s easier to find a job opportunity” industries are Software Engineering, (Tech) Project Management, and Sales and Business Development.
💡 The “well, I might face some competition” industry – in which it is a bit more challenging to find a job – is IT & Sysadmin. Bearing in mind that it is at the “easy” level to find a job in this industry already, it’s not such bad news at all!
💡 The “it’s at thesame level and nothing has changed that much” industries are Marketing, Design & PR and Customer Support. Job seekers working in these specialties are currently facing high levels of competition which we hope will be replaced by more job opportunities in 2021. 🙏
Welcome to the MeetFrank family!
🥁 This month, we are happy to welcome many new members: ID Lam OÜ, Sild Consulting, Salespeople OÜ, and Visory!
This article is based on data from MeetFrank Job Market Insights. For additional and per-specialty reports, visit this page.
In our previous report, we shared that the Estonian job market started to shake off from the effects of the global pandemic, as the number of job applications were on the up. Let’s see what else has happened since then. 👀
But first, some news from the vibrant Estonian startup scene:
Interested in hearing more about what has been going on in the Estonian job market? Want to hear more insights and see more data about market competitiveness and new openings?
If this piques your interest, let’s begin with the general job overview in Estonia! 🙌
By mid-October, the number of job openings finally increased by 12%. Companies are apparently hearing job seekers! 👯♂️
In addition to this, the number of job applications has decreased. We hope more job seekers have found their dream job during this period. 🙏
Is market competitiveness in line with the data above?
Compared to the situation in September, it is now slightly more challenging to find a job in the Estonian job market. 🤔
Sadly, Marketing & PR & Media professionals will find it difficult to get their dream job at the moment. Who are the luckiest in this sense? The answer is those in Data & Analytics, which is still at the ‘OK level’. 🍀
Let’s find out how this has affected the gross offered and expected salaries. 👇
This month, there has been a small increase both in the offered and expected salaries. This change means the gap between the two, which has been stable since March, persists.
Now to find out more about offered gross salaries and how they have changed per specialty since March. 🕵
Offered Gross Salaries per Specialty
In this section, we will time travel back to February, when the Coronavirus pandemic hit the whole world with a direct effect on the job market. 😔
Below, we can see how in Estonia the offered gross salaries changed from February to mid-October.
Here come the main findings:
👉 Offered gross salaries for all the top 6 specialties are higher in October than in February. ⬆️
👉 (Tech) Project Management saw the highest increase by 18%. 💸
👉 Customer Support saw the lowest increase.
👉 Software Engineering, (Tech) Project Management, and Sales & Business Development saw the highest increase in the offered salaries in September.
Overall, companies seem to have adjusted their offerings for the last 9 months. We will see what the numbers will tell us in the rest of October. 🍂
Let’s see if this goes in parallel with the number of applications this month and what has changed so far.
✅ Software Engineering is determined not to give up first place to any specialty. It is the most preferred industry by far.
This clarifies why it is challenging for professionals in this field to find a job in Estonia nowadays. 💡 The more applications, the more challenging the market is.
✅ Software Engineering is followed by (Tech) Project Management and Sales & Business Development. The latter is definitely on the rise when it comes to popularity.
✅ Customer Support, Marketing & PR & Media, andlastly IT & Sysadmin make up the rest of the list.
Overall, professionals in technical fields have been most in need of finding a job or changing jobs by mid-October.
Market Competitiveness per Specialty
As we stated earlier, it is challenging for job seekers to find a job in Estonia nowadays. Let’s see how it has changed per specialty in the last 4 weeks. 🕵️♀️
💡 Market competitiveness has remained at the same levels for Software Engineering and (Tech) Project Management.
💡 Life for Sales & Business Development experts is not at its best. It has apparently become more challenging to find a position in this industry since mid-September. 😔
💡 Marketing & PR & Media and Customer Support are also in the “well, it’s become more challenging to find a job” category as of now.
💡 Among all specialties, Marketing & PR & Media saw the biggest decrease in the ease of finding a job in the Estonian job market.
New month, new members! 🤩 Let us introduce you the Estonia-based companies that recently joined our family: so.fa.dog OÜ, Dexatel, Anderson Beer OÜ, VNTRS, Kaitseliit, Corpowear OÜ, and Põllumajanduse Registrite ja Informatsiooni Amet!

By Mid-June we have already seen many important announcements in Estonia that are likely to affect the job market. If not the best days, better days may well be on the way. 🙏 Let’s start with the Top 3!
✅On 1 June 2020, Estonia reopened its borders to passengers with no symptoms arriving from the EU, the Schengen Area, and the UK.
All this great news shows that the economy is opening up and getting ready to welcome new talent. We’ll see what the rest of the summer will bring. 🌞
In this report, we’ll delve into how the Estonian job market has been doing recently, and compare the stats with those of May.
Ready to discover more? Let’s dive into mid-June’s numbers! 🔢
Job Market Overview: May vs June
There has been a decline in the number of job openings in Estonia lately, which you can also read more about in our recovery outlook blog post.
The past 4 weeks saw a 24% decrease in the number of job openings. The reason for that might be not only the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but also the arrival of summer. 🌞
However, the number of job applications has increased by approximately 18%. Lately, job seekers have been more active than companies.
Let’s see how these stats have affected market competitiveness. 🔎
👀 There hadn’t been a significant change in market competitiveness by June. It’s still challenging to find a job in Estonia.
Does this apply to all industries? Well, not really.
While it’s easy to find a job for the IT & Sysadmin candidates, Marketing & PR & Media and design people are finding it difficult nowadays. 🤐
Similar to Finland, Estonia has seen a gap between the offered and expected salaries in the past few months. Both job seekers and companies may be confused with the uncertainty in the economy worldwide. 🤔💰
As the upward trend continues for companies, job seeker expectations are more or less the same compared to those of the previous weeks.
Job Applications in the Top 6 Specialties in June 2020 vs 2019
😷 Needless to say COVID-19 has changed the way we live, work, and pursue our careers. While some industries have become more popular, some have lost interest from job seekers.
To see the effect of the coronavirus pandemic on the Estonian job market, we’ll now compare the job applications in the top 6 specialties from this year with those of mid-June 2019. 🕵
🚀 Let’s travel back in time to June 2019. There’s no pandemic, no obvious economic crisis worldwide, and we’re all ready for a great summer ahead.
When we look at the tables, three points catch the eye:
✅ The number of applications seems to have increased except for IT & Sysadmin and (Tech) Project Management positions.
The stats also explain the ease of market competitiveness for the IT & Sysadmin sector as we mentioned above, which clearly means there’s a strong need for IT & Sysadmin candidates in Estonia nowadays! 🔊
✅ Software engineering has remained the most popular industry.
✅ Marketing & PR & Media has taken third place from (Tech) Project Management.
Similar to most countries, Estonia has been hit hard by the pandemic, which has resulted in layoffs during the last 2 months. Although the tourism sector seems to have been affected the most, this doesn’t mean that the rest have been doing great. 😔
The numbers say that software engineering applications increased by more than 300% along with significant increases in Marketing & PR & Media and Sales & Business Development compared to last year.
The high increase can be explained by the layoffs and also the never changing popularity of Estonia when it comes to software engineering.
Meanwhile, the Finance sector has seen a relatively low increase in the number of applications, winning 5th place over the IT & Sysadmin industry in 2020. 💰

Remote Job Offers Per Specialty in Mid-June
In this section, we’ll highlight remote job offers per specialty in mid-June and discuss the stats from different angles.
As of today, companies are mostly interested in remote software engineers and secondly, sales & business development professionals. This also relates to the high number of job applications in these sectors compared to last year.
However, the Design, Customer Support, HR & Recruitment, and Data & Analytics industries seem to be preferring face-to-face collaboration. (For now. 👀)
As of today, there is no demand for remote teams in the Administration & Office and Logistics & Supply industries in Estonia.
Let’s have a look at the latest remote job openings:
🔊 Meet our new members: Aalto Eesti OÜ, Qstep logiciel OÜ, and Velström Vallner Tohver OÜ! Have a look at the latest job openings to find your dream job sooner than you expect:

On June 16, Lithuania saw its last day in lockdown. Now the country’s getting ready to open up again like most countries in Europe. 🎉
Despite its relatively low coronavirus rates, the Lithuanian job market has been hit by the pandemic, which we explored through the decreasing number of job openings in our latest blog article.
Wondering what has changed in the past 2 weeks? Want to learn more about job openings and market competitiveness? 🤓
🔊 Spoiler alert: Let’s dive into the world of stats from the Lithuanian job market. Now, it’s the rising star of remote job opportunities, which welcomes talent from around the world. 🌍
Job Market Overview: May vs June
At the beginning of June, the number of active job openings was down by about 22% in the Lithuanian job market.
So, here is what has changed in the past few weeks. The number ofjob openings has decreased by approximately 24%. 📉
There has been a very slight decrease in the number of job applications. This doesn’t quite cover the drop in the openings.
Despite the decrease in the number of job openings at the beginning of June, finding a job is almost at the ‘OK-level’ in Lithuania.
Unlike in Estonia, design candidates have more opportunities in this market. If you’re a designer and looking for a job in Lithuania, the chances are you may get one in the near future.
The Marketing & PR & Media professionals are in a tight spot. Sadly, it’s challenging for them to find a job in the Lithuanian job market nowadays. 👀
Similar to Estonia and Finland, offered salaries are higher than expected salaries in Lithuania. 📈
There has been a decrease in expected salaries, whereas companies don’t seem to have made any changes in their offerings lately.
Job Applications in the Top 6 Specialties in June 2020 vs 2019
In the past few months, we’ve been discussing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic aftershock. 🌍😷
What about ‘before corona’ times? What were the stats for job applications in the top 6 specialties last year in the Lithuanian job market? 🤔
Let’s start with 3 key points:
✅ Similar to Estonia and Finland, the Software Engineering industry has seen a significant increase in the number of job applications.
✅ But in Lithuania, this industry doesn’t rank in first place. Apparently, sales & business development job seekers are the most active group in Lithuania nowadays.
✅Unlike Estonia and Finland, one industry has made a huge leap in the number of job applications: Marketing & PR & Media. This could be either related to the recent layoffs or the growing interest in the sector.
Compared to the number of applications submitted in mid-June 2019, all industries saw more interest from job seekers.
This may be related to the recent layoffs due to the pandemic and also the growing interest in the Lithuanian job market.
Who are the companies hiring with MeetFrank?
In this section, we will learn more about the company profiles on MeetFrank. Get ready to find out more about Lithuania-based companies!
✅ As of today, there are 121 Lithuania-based companies looking for talent on MeetFrank. The number is increasing every month. 📈
✅ Unlike Estonia and Finland, they are mostly corporations and consultancy companies. If your dream job is at a big corporate name, then Lithuania might be ‘the’ place! 🙏
✅ So, what sectors are these companies operating in? If you have gone through our Estonia and Finland reports, you’ll already know the answer. As of today, software engineering, SaaS, technology, consultancy, and enterprise software make up the Top 5 there.
The answer is the same for Lithuania as well. 👍
✅ The Lithuania-based companies generally have 11 to 50 employees. This range is similar to those of Estonia and Finland.
This fact applies to Lithuania as well. Did you know that Lithuania-based companies are offering more and more remote jobs nowadays?🔎
When it comes to remote job offers, the champions remain the same as for Estonia and Finland—software engineers. 🖥
It seems software engineers will be the new digital nomads, following in the footsteps of design and advertising people. 🛩
Professionals from the Sales & Business Development, Design, (Tech) Project Management, and Marketing & PR & Media industries are next in line with an increasing number of remote job offers.

Recently Finland opened borders to Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia (yay!) and is taking cautious steps towards normalisation.
In our recovery outlook blog post, we mentioned the low number of job openings in the Finnish job market and the difference between the offered and expected salaries. 📉
In the past 2 weeks, Finland saw some changes in market competitiveness and the number of job openings. 👀
If you are hungry for more information, you’re definitely in the right place! 👍
Let’s discover what’s been happening in the Finnish job market lately. 🚀
Job Market Overview: May vs June
The beginning of June saw a 34% decrease in the number of job openings in Finland. The downward trend continued in the past 4 weeks.
Unlike the number of job openings, the decrease in job applications has been rather small since May.
What about market competitiveness?
The ease of finding a job in Finland has been very steady in the past 6 months. However, the recent decrease in the number of job openings has made it more competitive for job seekers.
🔊 While it was at the ‘OK-level’ to find a job in the Finnish job market, now it has become more challenging.
It’s still easier for software engineering candidates, but sadly design professionals will find it difficult to find their dream job for now. ⛔
When it comes to salaries, there is still a gap between the offered and expected salaries. As companies are eager to pay more for talent, job seekers should consider increasing their expectations a bit. 💸
We’ll see how the month ends and what opportunities are ahead for job seekers. 🙏
Job Applications in the Top 6 Specialties in June 2020 vs 2019
In this section, we will delve into how the pandemic has changed the way job seekers apply for openings, and which industries have lately become rising stars.
In short, we’ll compare the number of job applications in the top 6 specialties in mid-June 2020 to those of mid-June 2019.
According to Statista, roughly 46,000 people have become unemployed, and 136,000 people have been temporarily laid off during the lockdown phase of the coronavirus pandemic in Finland since March 2020. 😷
The situation seems to have affected the number of job applications in the Software Engineering industry the most, yet there are some surprising facts on the way. 🤔
Let’s have a quick recap of the stats above:
✅ Similar to Estonia, the Finnish job market has seen a significant increase in the number of applications in the Software Engineering industry.
✅ Surprisingly, it has been the only industry with an increase. 😵 All other industries seem to have had a much lower number of applications compared to the 2019 stats.
While the Sales & Business Development sector has lost approximately 9% of job seekers compared to last year, Finance candidates seem to have already found what they were looking for—there have been no applications at all and market competitiveness is at a very good level for finance professionals, as can be seen in the MeetFrank Insights. 😯
Who are the companies hiring with MeetFrank?
MeetFrank is growing every day and so is the number of companies collaborating with us. 🎆
In this section, we’ll discuss the Finland-based companies in the MeetFrank database and get to know them better. 🤝
As of today, there are 109 companies from Finland in our database. Startups and corporates make up the majority, which is similar to Meet Frank’s general company profile. ✅
Finnish companies mostly operate in software development, SaaS, technology, consultancy, and enterprise software sectors. If you’re looking for an opportunity in Finland and work in one of the industries, this is a good time to try your luck. 🍀
When it comes to company size, Finland-based companies are mostly in the 11-50 range, followed by the ‘big guys’ which are in the 51-200 range.
There’s also a high number of small companies with 2 to 10 people. 👨👩
The majority of the companies have revenues below €1M, but who knows what will happen by the end of this year? 🤑
Remote Job Offers Per Specialty in Mid-June
Today, more and more companies are embracing remote work, and the number of remote job openings have started to go hand in hand with that blossoming love. 💗
Let’s see what Finland-based companies are thinking about this. 💭
By mid-June, the software engineering sector saw the highest number of remote job openings in the Finnish job market. Good times to be a software engineer! 🖥
It seems the increase in the number of job applications for this industry was for a reason. 😉
When we look at the chart, we see that the Sales and Business Development, Marketing & PR & Media, IT & Sysadmin, Design, and HR & Recruitment are next potential champions. But it seems the gap won’t be bridged that easily. 🏔
