Engineering Lead, New Product Area

We’re building a next-generation business platform for cybersecurity that will transform how our partners deliver, manage, and scale F‑Secure’s services. This is a greenfield product – designed from scratch without legacy constraints. You’ll join as a founding engineering lead, contributing directly as a senior fullstack developer while also guiding a small cross-functional team toward first delivery and long-term success.

You’ll have full backing from F‑Secure leadership to drive technical direction, shape the architecture, and move with speed – all while collaborating tightly with a designer, product manager, and fellow engineers.

We work in a hybrid model based in our newly opened Helsinki HQ – designed for modern collaboration and teamworking, complete with a rooftop sauna and a fully equipped gym. Check it out here. 

What'll you do?

• Lead a small, agile team (2–3 engineers, plus a designer and product manager) through rapid experimentation and delivery.
• Define and implement the MVP version of the platform with measurable operational impact.
• Architect scalable and modular systems that evolve with our ambitions — from onboarding flows to AI-powered recommendations.
• Build and validate prototypes, even with mock data, to gather early feedback and accelerate learning cycles.
• Design APIs, SDKs, and integration capabilities that allow our partners to embed F‑Secure offerings seamlessly into their own ecosystems.
• Collaborate across teams to manage dependencies without slowing down your roadmap.
• Contribute to the longer-term evolution of the platform’s AI capabilities as the vision matures.

What are we looking for?

• A technically strong, product-minded leader with experience building greenfield solutions in larger environments
• Hands-on senior developer who loves to build – you actively code and prototype
• Proven success in defining and delivering MVPs with measurable business or user impact
• Experience with backend architecture, integration patterns, and API design
• Familiarity with cloud-based development (especially AWS), and confidence in infrastructure decisions
• Strong collaborator with the ability to align stakeholders in ambiguous or fast-changing settings
• A pragmatic mindset and systems thinking – you can zoom in and out across architecture and product discussion

Bonus points for:

• Experience building developer platforms or B2B toolkits
• Familiarity with AI-powered features (e.g. recommendation systems, adaptive flows)
• Track record of using AI in product development – including prompt engineering or applied LLMs
• Previous success in founder-style or early-stage technical leadership roles
• Deep knowledge of AWS services and cloud-native infrastructure

What will you get from us?

• Meaningful impact – You’ll tackle interesting software engineering challenges that help secure the digital lives of millions of users across more than 50 countries.
• Talented teammates – Work alongside experienced, enthusiastic colleagues with strong team spirit. Within F-Secure, you'll find some of the best minds in the cybersecurity industry.
• Career development – We actively encourage our Fellows to grow and develop within F-Secure. Over time, you may explore different roles or contribute to various products and teams.
• Autonomy and flexibility – You shape your role, set your priorities, and organize your work for the benefit of us all. Our flexible, agile, and dynamic environment supports individual needs and interests.
• Mentorship and onboarding – From day one, you'll have a named buddy or mentor to help you integrate, learn our practices, and start contributing your own ideas.
• Exciting phase of growth – We’re in a unique moment in our 30-year history, with curiosity and excitement in the air. It's a great time to build a strong and meaningful career with us.

Our benefits include extensive health care, remote working, company supported sport activities, lunch vouchers, regular massages and sauna (and soon also gym) at the premises and many more things to keep our best asset – people - happy!
