How we work together:
Software development phases
In Kipinä, the software development phases are built around a set of elements and a process that support a rapid feedback and development cycle, with the goal of measurable business benefits.
Software development is no longer driven by a linear model, where steps are built in a chronological process.
Cloud infrastructures and architectures that are resilient to growth.
The strength of our software development lies in our modern cloud infrastructure and carefully designed software and AI architectures, which create a sustainable foundation for growth. We build scalable and cost-effective Azure, AWS, and GCP solutions for digital services, data, and AI needs, utilizing Terraform and infrastructure as code principles, among other things.
We design AI architectures to support machine learning, generative AI, and agent-based solutions in a way that is secure, transparent, and easy to develop. When platforms and architectures work reliably, decision-making is based on up-to-date information, and systems adapt to business changes without heavy rebuilding.
We take care of data quality, model lifecycle (MLOps), data security, and responsible AI practices to ensure that AI-based solutions are long-lasting, effective, and controllable throughout their entire lifecycle.
Critical back-up systems to trust.
Our expertise in critical systems regulations, restrictions, and legislation brings certainty to even the most challenging software development projects. We build critical backend solutions using Java Spring Boot, Python, Node, and other technologies, taking into account architecture, information security, and data protection.
We utilize agent-based software development in a controlled manner as part of background systems, for example in automation, monitoring, and decision-making support, always in clearly defined and auditable entities. This allows intelligent software agents to improve the efficiency and responsiveness of systems without compromising reliability, predictability, or accountability.
We understand industry-specific regulatory and legislative requirements (e.g., finance, healthcare, public sector) to ensure that the system meets standards and remains operational even in exceptional circumstances.
Continuous feedback and development in a rapid cycle is critical when the goal of software development is to deliver value to the business through digitalisation.
Multidisciplinary expertise covers the whole stack.
In a rapidly changing business environment, continuous feedback cycle software development requires increasingly multidisciplinary expertise across different technologies. The expertise of our senior developers ranges from agent-based software development to frontend, backend, and full-stack development, mobile applications, cloud and DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines and test automation, design and business design, data architecture, data engineering, and data science.
Agent-based software development, AI, and machine learning accelerate development
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and agent-based software development bring significant efficiency, intelligence, and new business opportunities to software development. We utilize artificial intelligence and autonomous, goal-oriented software agents to create new digital services and business operations, automate software development, and continuously improve our own operations. Agent-based software development enables intelligent systems that can independently perform limited tasks, analyze data, and adapt to changing situations.
With AI and ML, we're speeding up the development of new features: test automation and quality assurance are getting more efficient, software maintainability is improving, recommendation and search features are getting more accurate, and prediction models are supporting better planning. Generative AI and agent-based solutions speed up the production of content and user interfaces and enable new digital services, while taking into account information security, ethics, and sustainable development.
Senior Tech Leadership + AI - Approach and Attitude
Future software development and digital solutions require unique teams and top-level, committed professionals. Kipinä's service approach – 'Senior Tech Leadership + AI' – underpins the work, values, and attitudes of each of our experts, enabling us to take digital development from the basics to the highest level. Our shared goal is the success of our customers.
Kipinä's senior-level expert teams and individuals act as both coaches and key players, bringing a bold, team-driven, and agent-based approach to AI development to strengthen the culture of digital development. With the support of our experts working alongside the rest of the team, deep expertise, new ways of working, and an experimental culture are embedded throughout the team, strengthening the digital capabilities and efficiency of companies from within.

OUR ECOSYSTEM PARTNERS
Attention Buyer! The seeds of successful software development are sown earlier than you think.
01| 2025, Laura Riuttanen, Partner & Sales Director
Planning and preparing digital projects and software development is always a particularly challenging and time-consuming process. Complex entities and solutions requiring strong technical expertise are the source of many headaches, and a sense of uncertainty creeps into the purchasing process. Front- and back-end development, full-stack, mobile, data engineering, cloud and devops development: what all should be taken into account?
At worst, the process is heated up by the worst poison – rush. How to choose the right partner for a digital development project? What external expertise is needed? What will it all cost? We have compiled a list of things for you, as someone preparing for a digital and software development project, that we go through with our clients when preparing each project. Collect them, share them with a friend, or print them as a bulletin board in your break room.
OUR INSIGHTS
"We’ve been working with developers from Kipinä for a little over two years; during that time, they’ve truly made themselves a part of the team — even though they are technically ‘external’ developers.
They bring value not only as technical experts but also as teammates who care about our players as we do, proactively detect and solve problems that transcend their immediate remit of work, and work hard to contribute meaningfully to Supercell’s business. We’re thrilled to continue working with them!"

Frequently asked questions about software development
-
Software development refers to the process of designing, implementing, and maintaining digital solutions such as web services, mobile applications, or business support systems. Good software development combines business needs, user experience, and modern technologies such as agent-based software development to ensure that the end result is functional, secure, scalable, and easy to use.
-
The cost of software development depends on the scope of the project, requirements and implementation method. Small application developments can cost from a few thousand euros upwards, while larger software projects can cost tens or hundreds of thousands of euros. The total cost is influenced by factors such as the amount of work, technologies, integrations and maintenance needs.
-
The hourly rate for software development typically varies between €80 and €150, depending on the skills of the developer, the complexity of the project and the technologies used. At Kipinä Software, pricing is based on transparency and an agreed model according to the client's needs.
-
Agentic software development refers to an approach in which AI-based agents support and enhance software development independently, proactively, and purposefully. Agentic AI helps automate development work, improve code quality, speed up deliveries, and support developers' decision-making—always under human control. The result is more efficient, scalable, and responsible digital development.
-
Agile software development is an agile way of making software in a phased and iterative way. Its core idea is to deliver value to the customer quickly in small increments, testing and continuously improving the solution. Agile emphasizes collaboration, flexibility and transparency.
-
Lean software development is based on Lean thinking, which aims to minimise waste and maximise value for the customer. In practice, this means focusing on the essentials, cutting out unnecessary features and quickly gathering feedback so that the solution truly meets the needs of the users.
-
Scrum is a popular agile software development framework. In Scrum, development work is divided into short periods of time, called sprints (typically 2-4 weeks), during which agreed functionality is implemented. The model allows for rapid response to change, close collaboration and continuous improvement.
