Cybersecurity, Summer Job

We’re looking for a Summer Trainee to join our Gaming Product Security team within the Cyber Security unit, where you'll learn the lifecycle of cybersecurity in game development - from threat modeling and triage to mitigation, hardening and validation. This position is 3 months fixed term, May – August, and full-time. Exact dates upon agreement.

Our Gaming Product Security team strives to be a high-performing, friendly, and collaborative group. We value an easy-going atmosphere where knowledge sharing, mutual support, and continuous improvement are part of our daily work. You’ll join a team that combines technical excellence with a positive, team-oriented culture.

What You’ll Do

You’ll support the Gaming Product Security team with hands‑on, real‑world security work, including:

  • Everyday security ops & housekeeping: keep our dashboards, tickets, and artifacts tidy and up to date; help with security communications and notes.
  • Documentation: write or improve runbooks, “how‑to”s, and architecture / threat‑model notes that bring actual value.
  • Vulnerability management: triage findings (SCA/SAST/DAST/cloud), verify impact, chase mitigations with owners, and track to closure.
  • Cloud security hardening: assist in testing and improving baseline controls and guardrails (GCP/AWS).
  • Penetration testing support: scope and execute supervised tests against services and APIs, reproduce issues, and help developers with practical fixes.

What You’ll Bring

  • Ongoing university studies in a relevant field (Bachelor’s or Master’s level) - e.g information security, computer science or software engineering.
  • Familiarity with modern application development, such as APIs, microservices, CI/CD, containers, and public cloud platforms (AWS or GCP), gained through courses, labs, or personal projects.
  • Curiosity for product and application security and secure‑by‑design thinking; motivated to learn and use practices like vulnerability scanning, threat modeling, and security testing.
  • Structured, collaborative working style — able to break problems into clear steps, follow through, and work well with others.
  • Clear communication in English, both written and spoken.

Don’t worry if you don’t tick every box — show us your potential and willingness to learn.

We Offer

  • A workplace where the game evolves – and so do you. You’ll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success – in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
  • Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together – and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
  • Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life – but isn’t all there is to it.
  • Collaborative and innovative work environment.

It is important to us that everyone can come to work as their authentic selves. We value diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and believe that success comes from working in diverse teams. We encourage individuals from various backgrounds to apply for our jobs.

The position is located at Veikkaus’ headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki. We work flexibly in a hybrid model. To foster collaboration and effective teamwork, we meet at the office three times a week.

Please note: you need to be at least 18 years old to apply and the job requires a valid residence permit for all non-EU citizens.

Interested? Awesome! Submit your application with your salary request and CV as soon as possible, but no later than 21.1.2026. Only applications submitted through the system will be considered.
