Lead Cloud Developer (flexible scope: application or infrastructure)

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.

Are you passionate about designing and building scalable, secure, and efficient cloud systems on AWS? Would you like to take ownership of foundational cloud components that power products used by millions, while shaping how F-Secure builds and operates in the cloud?

We’re looking for a Lead Cloud Developer to join our Architecture & Platforms organization — a key role that bridges our cloud application and infrastructure domains. Whether your strengths lie more in backend systems, infrastructure automation, or both, we want to build around your expertise.

Our goal is to find one exceptional person who can bridge both domains or two complementary professionals who together bring depth and breadth across the stack. Either way, you’ll be joining at a pivotal time for F-Secure’s cloud evolution: a moment where you can truly shape how we design, build, and operate secure, large-scale systems that protect millions of users worldwide.

This is an opportunity to work with a high-calibre technical community, in a company that’s growing, learning, and evolving fast. You’ll have real influence on architectural direction, freedom to experiment, and the satisfaction of seeing your work make a tangible impact across products.

About the Architecture & Platforms unit

Our mission is to provide a modern, well-architected foundation for F-Secure’s consumer products that ensures scalability, security, and efficiency across everything we build. We identify and solve platform-level challenges, develop reusable components, and standardize practices to make development smoother across teams.

You’ll work at the intersection of Platform Excellence and product delivery teams — a place where architecture meets hands-on engineering. Expect collaboration, technical ownership, and meaningful impact.

Our cloud platform is built on AWS, with key domains including:

Our core stack includes AWS Lambda, ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, RDS, API Gateway, CloudWatch, Python, Terraform, AWS CDK, and GitHub Actions — all operated with a DevSecOps mindset.

What You’Ll Do?

Depending on your expertise, your focus might lean toward application-centric development or infrastructure/platform engineering or combine both.

• Design, build, and evolve shared backend services, frameworks, and infrastructure components used company-wide
• Drive cloud-native architecture, automation, observability, and reliability practices
• Partner with architects and developers across F-Secure to guide modernization, migrations, and effective reuse of shared components
• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost efficiency of AWS environments
• Strengthen cloud governance, network architecture, and security automation across multi-account setups
• Enhance developer experience through improved tooling, CI/CD, and self-service capabilities
• Contribute to architectural vision and mentor others in applying best practices

What we’re looking for?

We value hands-on expertise, architectural thinking, and flexibility. You may come from either a strong backend or infrastructure background — or have evolved to master both.

• Proven experience in designing, building, and operating cloud systems on AWS
• Solid skills in Python and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK, or similar)
• Understanding of distributed systems, reliability, and security principles
• Experience with CI/CD, container orchestration (ECS/EKS), and modern observability tooling
• Ability to balance long-term vision with pragmatic, incremental delivery
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, including the ability to guide others and work across team boundaries

Bonus Points For:

• AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect)
• Experience bridging application and infrastructure domains
• Background in developer enablement, platform teams, or multi-account AWS environments

Why this role is exciting?

• Impact – You’ll directly shape the cloud architecture that supports millions of users worldwide.
• Flexibility – The scope adapts to your strengths: you can lean more toward backend systems or infrastructure engineering.
• Challenge – You’ll operate across multiple domains — from architecture to automation to security — and influence how F-Secure builds, deploys, and scales its products.
• Growth – Depending on your profile, we may hire one or two professionals to cover the full spectrum of responsibilities.
• Culture – You’ll join a dynamic, high-expertise environment where curiosity, initiative, and collaboration drive progress.
