Security is not a feature - it is a fundamental property of every product, service, and internal capability we ship.\nThis is a deeply technical leadership role with direct influence on product and platform architecture.\nYou will build and lead a team that works closely with hardware engineers, firmware developers, backend engineers, DevOps, product managers, and leadership - not as an auditor, but as a builder who is responsible for ensuring that teams design and ship secure systems.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine and drive product and platform security strategy across hardware, firmware, software, and manufacturing systems.\n\nBuild, lead, and mentor a high-performing product and platform security team.\n\nPartner with engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle to embed security into architecture, design, implementation, testing, and release.\n\nLead threat modeling, security architecture reviews, and risk assessments for new products and major platform initiatives.\n\nEstablish security requirements, secure-by-design practices, and engineering standards across the organization.\n\nDrive vulnerability management, security testing, and coordinated remediation efforts.\n\nSupport incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement of security posture.\n\nRepresent security in technical and product planning, balancing risk with engineering velocity and business objectives.\n\nRequired Skills and Experience\nProven experience designing and implementing security controls across both software and hardware environments.\n\nBasic coding skills (C, C++, Rust, Python).\n\nStrong background in conducting security design reviews and architecture assessments for complex systems.\n\nHands-on experience with Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC) practices. Experience establishing or implementing SSDLC frameworks from the ground up is highly desirable.\n\nSolid understanding of industry security standards and frameworks, including NIST, ISO, and OWASP.\n\nDeep technical security expertise with broad knowledge of application, system, and product security principles.\n\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).\n\nDemonstrated experience leading and mentoring engineering or security teams. Candidates with team leadership experience who are interested in pursuing an architecture-focused career path are encouraged to apply.\n\nOur candidate\nYou are an experienced security engineer and technical leader who thrives on solving complex engineering problems. You build trust through technical credibility, collaborate effectively across various engineering disciplines, and are comfortable making pragmatic security decisions in fast-moving engineering environments. You lead by enabling teams to build secure products rather than acting solely as a reviewer or gatekeeper.\nWhat We Offer\nPaid Time Off: the Employee is entitled to an annual holiday 4 + 1 weeks\nHealth & Wellness Package\nLunch Benefit: daily lunch allowance up to the tax-free limit as a fringe benefit.\n\nSport & Culture: annual budget for gyms, sports activities, cultural events, and hobbies.\n\nWellbeing Allowance: additional allowance for massage, mental health services, and other wellness support.\n\nExtended Occupational Healthcare: enhanced coverage including GP, specialists, mental health, and partial dental care.\n\nAccident Insurance (24/7): full coverage for accidents during both work and free time.\n\nBusiness Travel Insurance: coverage for work-related travel.\n\nSnacks & Office Comforts: coffee, snacks, fruits, and other office perks.\n\nWork Model\nFlexible Working Hours: core hours from 10:00 to 15:00.\n\nNo-Crunch Policy: no systematic overtime; overtime is compensated or reimbursed.\n\nMeeting-Light Culture: protected focus time and minimal unnecessary meetings.\n\nGrowth & Innovation\nHigh-End Equipment: premium laptop, monitor, and peripherals.\n\nLab & Gadget Budget: annual budget for hardware, tools, books, and learning materials.\n\nHackathons & Offsites: regular internal events focused on innovation and technology.\n\nTravel & Mobility\nBusiness Travel Expenses: full coverage of tickets, accommodation, and transportation.\n\nPer Diem (Vero Max): daily allowances according to the maximum tax-free Vero rates.\n\nImpact & Culture\nLow-hierarchy, engineering-driven environment with strong autonomy and zero micromanagement.\n\nPrivacy Notice\nBy applying for this position, you consent to the processing of your personal data for recruitment purposes.\nYour data will be handled in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Finnish Act on the Protection of Privacy in Working Life.
