Sebastian Sergelius joined the Boksi team a little over three years ago in 2021, and since then, he has played a key role in developing many important aspects of Boksi. He works in Boksi’s product team as a Technical Support Specialist, where his role focuses on reporting platform issues and developing new features.

A Workday full of problem-solving and development

 
Sebastian’s workday often begins by checking the bug report log, where he identifies any new urgent issues on the Boksi platform. He then delegates these tasks to different team members with the best expertise for each feature. If there are no urgent requests, Sebastian can focus on developing new features or working on unresolved bugs.

“My work is diverse and constantly presents new challenges. When working on bugs, I have the opportunity to find long-term solutions and improve the platform’s user experience,” Sebastian shares.

Starting a career at Boksi has brought growth along the way

 
Sebastian has always been interested in programming and already knew a few Boksi employees before joining the team. Initially, his role was focused solely on bug fixes, but he later developed a bug reporting system that stores all error reports in a separate list. This innovation has freed up his time for developing new features and has allowed him to be more involved in other projects within the team.

“When I started at Boksi, I was only fixing bugs. Now, I’ve built a system that logs all reported issues into a separate list. This has given me more time to focus on new features and improve the platform’s functionality,” Sebastian explains.
 
 

Boksi’s values and work culture

Sebastian feels that Boksi has an excellent work atmosphere, and he especially resonates with the company’s value of "Balancing speed with wellness." He believes that efficiency improves when you work on projects when you have the energy, and it’s important to switch tasks if something feels stuck.

“It’s important to me that I can work when I have energy and take breaks when needed so I can return to problems with fresh ideas. This approach has helped me solve even the most difficult issues,” Sebastian notes.

At Boksi, cross-team collaboration is highly valued, particularly within the product team, where working closely with other teams—such as customer service and marketing—brings new perspectives to projects.

“Teamwork is really important, and at Boksi, there is great communication between different teams. Collaborating with other departments always brings new ideas and helps us develop the platform even further,” Sebastian says.

According to Sebastian, Boksi has a strong sense of community and trust among team members. One of his most memorable experiences was a two-day hackathon, where the entire product team worked closely together to complete an important product. Afterward, the team celebrated their achievement with after-work drinks, which he found to be a truly bonding experience.

“It was a great moment when we finished the product and got to celebrate our success as a team. These kinds of experiences create a strong sense of unity,” Sebastian recalls.

Boksi – A workplace for growth and development

Sebastian sees Boksi as a special workplace because it values employee well-being and offers great opportunities for professional growth. Boksi supports work-life balance, providing flexible working hours and remote work options.

“Boksi has an amazing work culture. You can develop yourself professionally while also enjoying your free time. I especially appreciate the flexibility Boksi offers, making it easier to balance work and personal life,” Sebastian shares.

Boksi also offers many benefits to its employees. According to Sebastian, Boksi invests in employee well-being by offering recreational activities and opportunities for professional development.

“Working at Boksi is adaptable to your own lifestyle, allowing for an excellent balance between work and personal life,” Sebastian adds.

Sebastian’s journey at Boksi has been full of learning and growth opportunities. He is grateful to have been part of building the Boksi platform and developing new features that make it even better.
