F-Secure makes every digital moment more secure, for everyone. For over 35 years, we’ve led the cyber security industry, protecting tens of millions of people online together with our 200+ service provider partners. We value our Fellows' individuality, with an inclusive environment where diversity drives innovation and growth. What makes you unique is what we value – be yourself, that is (y)our greatest asset. Founded in Finland, F‑Secure has offices in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
Do you want to shape the technical direction of a new, fast-moving product that redefines how people feel safe online?
We’re forming a new, forward-leaning team within F-Secure’s product organization. Our mission: to safeguard consumers against scams while delivering an exceptional user experience that sets the industry standard for protection and usability.
We’re hiring a Principal Full Stack Engineer to join this team in Helsinki. You’ll lead by doing — defining our architecture, setting technical standards, and solving the toughest challenges as we prototype, ship, and scale new products to millions of users.
About The Team
We’re F-Secure’s New Products and Innovations team — leveraging F-Secure’s proven security technologies while pioneering new consumer experiences, tools, and product concepts.
We're small by design: a cross-functional unit of engineers, designers, and product thinkers with autonomy to explore, prototype, and deliver at startup speed. Everyone is hands-on — there are no management layers, no one on the sidelines. We all ship, contribute directly to the product, and own outcomes together. We cut through bureaucracy, make decisions fast, and focus relentlessly on what matters most — building consumer experiences that feel intuitive, human, and trustworthy.
Our focus is deeply meaningful. Scams are no longer amateur threats — they’re industrial-scale operations that manipulate people emotionally and financially. We’re building something that restores confidence and peace of mind, replacing fear, confusion, and shame with clarity, protection, and recovery. Every feature we ship could help someone avoid losing their savings or rebuild trust after an attack.
We aim for MLP — Minimum Lovable Product — not just viable. Every prototype must earn its place in consumers’ hands by solving a real problem beautifully.
What You’ll Do
As Principal Full Stack Engineer, you’ll be both architect and builder — setting direction while staying deeply hands-on. You’ll define our SW architecture, evolve our cloud, and lead by example through code, mentorship, and technical excellence.
Your Day-to-day May Include
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for an exceptional engineer — someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds clarity through code, and leads with both vision and craft.
You’ll Do Well Here If You Have
This is a hands-on technical leadership role at the intersection of innovation, product creation, and consumer protection. You’ll define the foundations of a new product experience, guide technical decision-making, and ensure what we build today can scale to millions tomorrow.
It’s a rare opportunity to combine the resources and credibility of F-Secure with the speed and creativity of a startup. You’ll join early enough to shape our architecture, technical culture, and engineering excellence — work that may later be shared publicly as part of F-Secure’s engineering thought leadership.
This isn’t a predictable role with fixed boundaries — it’s an opportunity to build something meaningful that helps real people, sets a high technical standard, and shapes how secure digital experiences feel in the future.
What will you get from us?
A security background check will possibly be conducted for the selected candidate in accordance with Finnish Security Clearance act 726/2015.
