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