Senior Software Engineer, Detection and Response

Nobody knows cyber security like F‑Secure. For three decades, F‑Secure has driven innovations in cyber security, defending tens of thousands of companies and millions of people.

With unsurpassed experience in endpoint protection as well as detection and response, F‑Secure shields enterprises and consumers against everything from advanced cyber attacks and data breaches to widespread ransomware infections.

Within Detection and Response, we aim to provide software solutions to combat sophisticated threat actors by providing the tooling needed to respond to cyber attacks. Our people are a combination of technical and creative experts – diverse, talented, and passionate people – working tirelessly to advance the industry with new solutions to difficult problems. They lead their own development, in and out of the office. They call the shots when it comes to building a place to call home in our organization.

We are seeking someone who is not scared of new challenges and knows how to work hard whilst maintaining a fun and friendly attitude. The ideal candidate enjoys working in a team with a culture of learning and mutual respect; where you can bring new ideas to the table and have them heard.
