Senior Software Engineer & Technical Lead (GCP)

About the role

As our first Senior Engineer in Finland, you will bridge the gap between hands-on coding and technical leadership. You will collaborate with cross-border stakeholders to deliver a scalable B2B platform while mentoring a growing team.

This is not a traditional management role. You will remain deeply technical while also acting as the local engineering lead for the team — helping drive execution, supporting developers in their growth, and partnering closely with product and leadership stakeholders.

You’ll join a company where engineering has a strong voice, where collaboration and ownership matter, and where modern development practices and AI-driven workflows are becoming a natural part of how we build products.

We offer high ownership over technology and culture, a modern tech stack, competitive compensation and a chance to make true impact.

This role combines deep technical execution with local leadership. You are focusing on building a scalable B2B occupational health platform and ensuring the best possible performance of the local team.

• Lead and support a newly established engineering team onsite in Finland

• Mentor and coach developers through technical guidance and collaboration
• Partner with Product and Design to deliver business impact across Sweden and Finland

We are looking for

• Advanced knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and cloud-native architectures
• Strong experience in backend or fullstack software development
• Proficiency with Containers and CI/CD Pipelines
• Experience mentoring developers or leading technical teams
• Fluent in English with strong cross-functional communication skills

It is meritorious if you have

• Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or Infrastructure as Code
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows

To succeed in the role, your personal skills are:
