F-secure

Security Engineer

Helsinki

November 14, 2024

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.

We’re looking for a Security Engineer to join our Technology team and help shape the security practices across our software development lifecycle. In this role, you’ll have a hands-on impact in implementing secure practices, tool integrations, mitigating risks, and responding to the evolving needs of our Technology organization. Your work will be essential in protecting our products and embedding security from design to deployment.

You’ll work closely with our non-technical CISO office, bringing security standards (like ISO27001 and SOC2) to life through tangible practices that our teams can integrate into their daily workflows. Reporting to the Head of Security, you’ll be part of a small team of security professionals working in a hybrid setup (in Helsinki area), typically meeting in the office once a week. The role combines technical guidance with practical security strategy, ensuring security is part of everything we do, not just an afterthought.

Key responsibilities:

Tool Ownership and configuration: Own and manage security testing tools and other relevant security platforms provided to development teams.
Cloud security expertise: Bring strong cloud security knowledge to enhance our cloud-based systems’ security posture.
Security engineering support: Serve as the go-to resource for development teams, helping them understand the relevance of specific vulnerabilities and guiding them in practical security solutions. Act as a bridge between our CISO’s policies and technical teams, fostering a proactive security mindset throughout the development lifecycle.
Compliance application: Simplify compliance requirements (like ISO27001, SOC2) into manageable actions that seamlessly integrate into our development practices.
Collaborative security education: Partner with product, engineering, and operations teams to ensure security is integrated at each stage of development. You’ll lead training sessions, workshops, and knowledge-sharing initiatives, reinforcing security as a shared responsibility across the Technology function.
Incident response and monitoring: Support our our development teams in security incident response by coordinating a model of swift actions and learning from each event. With developing continuous monitoring and alerting, you’ll support early detection of vulnerabilities, strengthening our defenses.

Why you will thrive in this role
In this role, you’ll be both a hands-on technical expert and a proactive partner within our Technology team. You’ll drive a culture where security is integrated into every phase of development, empowering teams to build securely and confidently. Serving as a crucial link between the CISO office and our development teams, you’ll transform compliance and security requirements into actionable, developer-friendly practices. Your collaborative approach will cultivate a security-conscious environment that positions security as a foundational element supporting innovation and resilience.

What we’re looking for
We're looking for someone with a solid background in security, though we don’t require experience specifically in the consumer cybersecurity industry. We appreciate and value fresh perspectives and skills from diverse industries.

Experience: 3+ years in software security, with a strong grasp of secure development, risk management, and compliance frameworks.
Technical expertise: Proficiency in secure coding practices, cryptography, vulnerability management, and tools like SIEM, IDS/IPS, DAST/SAST.
AWS Security Knowledge: Demonstrated expertise in AWS cloud security, with a strong understanding of AWS security features and best practices for securing cloud infrastructure.
Compliance knowledge: Understanding of security standards (ISO27001, GDPR, SOC2) and experience in applying them within technical practices.
Programming and Automation Skills: Proficiency in scripting and programming languages such as Python or Bash to automate security processes and perform advanced analysis.
Problem-solving skills: Proven experience in addressing security challenges and implementing secure practices within development teams.
Collaboration: Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical teams.
Education: Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent experience. Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH) are a plus.

What our team has to offer you:

Innovative technology - Dive into the world of cyber security with a team that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Whether you're a Dev Ops guru, a mobile i OS expert, or a technical leader, you'll have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and make a real impact.
At F-Secure, collaboration is key. We believe in the power of teamwork and actively foster an environment where ideas are shared, challenges are tackled together, and successes are celebrated as a collective, and freedom is substantial.
