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.

We're looking for a Team Lead to join our Research and Protection Platform team. If you're passionate about leading highly skilled engineers, shaping scalable security platforms, and driving Agile development in a collaborative environment, we'd love to have you on board.

Who we are

At F-Secure, we work to protect users by constantly researching new threats and finding better ways to keep people safe online. Our Research and Protection Platform team, based in Helsinki, plays a key role in making sure our products can answer the question "Is this safe?"—billions of times across millions of different objects. To do this efficiently, we need smart engineering, good collaboration, and a strong team.

In the constantly changing world of cybersecurity, our Research organization focuses on staying ahead of new threats and challenges. Our work is not just about developing products, but also about exploring the unknown and finding answers to difficult security questions. Year 2025, we are evolving our approach to improve how we work and prepare for the future.

Our team applies flexible remote work practices while enjoying the benefits of in-office gatherings for team building and co-working. If this resonates with you, you'll find a great fit here.

About the role

As a Team Lead, you'll take on a leadership role that combines technical oversight with team development. You'll be responsible for guiding the team in building and maintaining a scalable, resilient security platform while ensuring smooth Agile processes and cross-functional collaboration.

Reporting to the VP, Research, you'll play a key role in aligning the team's strategy with business needs, fostering a high-performance culture, and enabling professional growth within the team.

Key responsibilities:

  • Team leadership and mentorship: Oversee and mentor a team of engineers, ensuring a collaborative and high-performing work environment.
  • Agile process management: Lead the team's Agile development process, ensuring structured workflows and predictable pipelines.
  • Technical strategy and platform development: Drive architectural improvements and system resilience, ensuring the platform's scalability, efficiency, and security.
  • Operational excellence: Manage services and related risks, support the team in delivering high-tier SLAs, overseeing debugging processes, and ensuring system stability.
  • Vulnerability and risk management: Oversee the team's vulnerability triaging and resolution processes, ensuring security remains a top priority.
  • Collaboration across teams: Work closely with architects, security researchers, and product managers to align the platform with company objectives and operational needs.

We're seeking someone who brings:

  • Leadership experience: Proven ability to lead technical teams, fostering a positive and productive work environment.
  • Agile and operational skills: Strong experience managing Agile workflows, sprint planning, and backlog prioritization.
  • Technical expertise in security platforms & software architecture: Hands-on experience with AWS, Python, Java, or NodeJS in high-scale production environments.
  • Problem-solving mindset: Ability to align business needs with technical solutions, resolve production issues, and improve system efficiency.
  • Fluent English skills: English is our company's official language, so you should be comfortable using it in both written and spoken communication.

What will you get from us?

  • You will work together with experienced and enthusiastic colleagues, and within F-Secure you will find some of the best minds in the cyber security industry.
  • We actively encourage our Fellows to grow and develop within F-Secure, and in your career here you can find yourself contributing to any number of our other products and teams. You decide what to make of this role, what your priorities are, and how you organize your work for the best benefit to us all.
  • We offer interesting challenges and a competitive compensation model with a wide range of benefits. You get a chance to develop yourself professionally in an international and highly motivated team serving our customers in providing world-class security, privacy and uncensored access to information online.
  • You get to work in a flexible, agile, and dynamic working environment that supports individual needs. Giving our people both support and the opportunity to be in charge of their own work is something that is in our DNA.

Our benefits include extensive health care, remote working, company supported sport activities, lunch vouchers, regular massages, gym and sauna at the premises and many more things to keep our best asset – people - happy

A security background vetting will possibly be conducted for the selected candidate in accordance with Finnish Security Clearance act 726/2015.
