Jetico - Software Developer - AI Champion

Are you a developer with an AI-native engineering mindset who takes pride in building rock-solid, critical software? We at Talented are looking for a Software Developer - AI Champion to join our client Jetico as a key technical anchor for their expanding R&D team in Espoo, Finland.

Jetico is a Finnish cybersecurity pioneer specializing in endpoint data protection across the complete data lifecycle. Trusted in more than 100 countries by defense and government agencies, national laboratories, industrial manufacturers, and security-conscious enterprises, Jetico develops world-class data encryption and data sanitization solutions that leave zero room for error.

Your mission will be to modernize how Jetico builds software: championing AI-assisted development, embedding security-by-design and shaping a unified cross-product architecture. This spans everything from AI-assisted hands-on implementation and refactoring to integrating AI tools into CI/CD pipelines and team-wide engineering practices.

In this role, you will:

• Champion practical AI workflows: Drive the adoption of secure, on-prem AI tools and automated practices across the development team.

• Own architecture and dependencies: Identify technical debt and manage releases across interconnected products, gradually taking greater ownership of the system.

• Engineering support & problem-solving: Collaborate closely with Lead Developers to resolve technical issues, explore existing codebases, and unblock everyday engineering challenges.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a mid- to senior-level developer with strong software engineering fundamentals who naturally leverages AI in daily development workflows. You are a pragmatic problem-solver who works autonomously, champions code quality, and brings fresh ideas while respecting our battle-tested systems. AI is a natural part of your daily engineering toolchain, always guided by solid technical judgment. To succeed in this role, you bring:

• Previous professional experience in software development

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to work across an existing, multi-product codebase

• Frontier AI models: previous hands-on experience with models from OpenAI or Anthropic.

• AI coding tools and agentic workflows: experience with tools such as OpenAI Codex or Anthropic Claude Code (aka harnesses), as well as agentic software development workflows.

• AI-native development experience: confident use of modern AI coding tools for implementation, debugging, refactoring, testing, documentation, code understanding, and technical research

• Ability to distinguish where AI accelerates engineering work and where human review, security controls, and deeper architectural judgment are essential

• Interest in establishing AI-assisted engineering practices across the development team, rather than using AI only as an individual productivity tool

• Experience with, or strong interest in, cybersecurity / security software

• Ability to understand dependencies across several products and contribute to coordinated releases

• Ability to gradually take ownership of architecture and cross-product technical direction

Currently, most of Jetico's R&D team is distributed across Europe. However, this role will become an important anchor for the R&D organization in Finland as Jetico expands its local team. Therefore, you should be comfortable working in a distributed international team as well as working in a hybrid model with the team at the office in Otaniemi, Espoo.

Why Jetico?

Jetico is a small but mighty company offering a rare commodity in modern tech: grounded stability and exceptionally long developer tenures, as most of their engineers have been with the company for over a decade. You’ll be backed by a close-knit team that genuinely has your back. Paired with true autonomy and trust in your expertise, you’ll get to join a small team where your contribution will be visible and meaningful.

Jetico is looking for someone who wants to grow alongside the business. For the right candidate, there is significant room to expand your expertise in directions that align with your interests. If you thrive in a purpose-driven role and are excited about pushing the boundaries of AI in cybersecurity, we’d love to hear from you!
