Are You An Entrepreneurial Technologist Eager To Build Something From The Ground Up? Do You Thrive In Dynamic, Ambiguous Environments Where Your Decisions Shape Not Just The Product — But The Business Model Itself? We’re Now Looking For a

Engineering Lead, New Product Area

We’re building a next-generation business platform for cybersecurity that will change how our partners deliver, manage, and scale cybersecurity services — and we’re looking for a Founding Engineering Lead to lead this transformation.

We're building a greenfield product — a completely new platform designed from the ground up, free from legacy constraints. You’ll start with a small cross-functional team and the full backing of F‑Secure’s leadership to define, prototype, and launch a platform that enables self-service onboarding, AI-driven insights, and fast go-to-market for our security offerings.

Your first success milestone? Moving select existing partners to the MVP version of the platform — with the goal of demonstrating tangible value early on.

We work in a hybrid model (typically 1+ days per week at the office) based out of our Helsinki HQ, which is currently undergoing an exciting renovation to be completed in summer 2025 — featuring modern spaces designed for collaborative workshops, teamworking, and perks like a rooftop sauna and a fully equipped gym.

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 inside larger organizations.
  • Hands-on skills in rapid prototyping, cloud-based platform development, and technical decision-making.
  • Proven ability to define and deliver MVPs that solve real-world problems while setting a foundation for scale.
  • Understanding of platform integration patterns, API design, and backend architecture.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguous technical landscapes and aligning cross-functional stakeholders.
  • A collaborative and pragmatic mindset — you’re just as comfortable in the weeds of system design as you are pitching a vision.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience building developer platforms or partner-facing toolkits.
  • Familiarity with embedding AI-driven features (e.g. automated recommendations, adaptive workflows).
  • Previous success in a “founder-style” engineering or technical leadership role.
  • Experience with cloud-based architecture, especially AWS - our infrastructure leverages AWS broadly across our products.

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!

A security background check will possibly be conducted for the selected candidate in accordance with Finnish Security Clearance act 726/2015.
