Lead Developer

As a Lead developer you’ll guide the development team, ensure architectural consistency, and facilitate informed tech choices

while keeping the bigger picture in view. You’ll also champion the adoption of AI-augmented development practices, ensuring our

teams leverage modern AI tools to enhance productivity and code quality. You’ll work closely with clients and internal

stakeholders to align solutions with their needs, provide clarity in complex situations, and represent the technical side of the

project with confidence and integrity.

Your work will span mentoring and empowering your team, ensuring security and compliance standards are met, supporting sales

opportunities, and helping our clients thrive in their digital transformation journey. This includes advising clients on how to

integrate AI and data-driven solutions into their technical workflows and roadmaps.

We work in five different service lines in Nordic level, and you can read here some more about our other Service Lines. We offer a

hybrid work model, though proximity to our Helsinki office is required for regular in-person collaboration. Please note, we are

currently unable to provide relocation support.

• Facilitate technology choices, architecture decisions, and ways of working that align with project goals and organizational

standards.

• Ensure that security and compliance requirements are understood and fulfilled throughout the development lifecycle, both in the

ways of working with AI tools and the actual solutions the team builds.

• Oversee and contribute to the creation of documentation to support onboarding, operations, and continuity (including updating

relevant entries in Power).

• Ensure the project team has the capabilities needed to succeed, and knows how to leverage Futurice’s internal resources and

external partner networks effectively.

As a Lead Developer we don't expect one person to be a master of everything, but we hope you bring a combination of the following

traits and experiences:

• Proficiency in using agentic AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) across the entire lifecycle—from planning and

implementation to testing and debugging.

• The ability to coach our teams on Agentic AI, sharing your expertise to help everyone pivot to AI-augmented workflows in their

daily work.

• A proven track record of mentoring developers, taking charge of technical architecture and helping the team grow their

professional skills.

• The confidence to act as the go-to expert for clients, explaining technical trade-offs and designing innovative AI-related

solutions.

We support your growth with a wide range of projects, tools, and learning opportunities. Our client portfolio is diverse, offering

a variety of challenges and problem spaces that give you room to explore new areas and develop your skills in meaningful ways.

You’ll be encouraged and inspired throughout your journey by a community of motivated, multidisciplinary colleagues across

development, design, data, AI and strategy.

• You’ll get a thorough local and global onboarding, plus your very own Futubuddy to support you throughout your journey with us.

And to top it off, you’ll have the chance to join our Onboarding Camp.

Your complete compensation package will be discussed in detail during the recruitment process. Our salary model is designed to

offer a range of levels based on three factors: skills, responsibilities and impact. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive

and supportive work environment where every employee has the opportunity to thrive and advance in their career and become better

versions of themselves.

During the initial interview round, we will discuss the salary range for this position. We offer a fixed salary with the

possibility of performance-based bonuses and additional benefits. For this Lead Developer role in the Customer Experience solution

services team, the on-target compensation varies between 5567-6968€ on a monthly basis depending on the career level.

Our project landscape moves fast, and we are constantly scaling our teams to meet new demands. While a specific project might not

be kicking off this exact week, we actively interview and qualify talent ahead of time so we can hit the ground running. If you

pass our recruitment process, you’ll be at the top of our list the moment a matching project launches or a position opens up!

Ever since Futurice was founded, we’ve focused on creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy, Mondays included. As a community,

we’ve built and continue to shape a healthy, welcoming culture where you’re met with trust and kindness, and where your well-being

is valued every bit as much as the great work you do. The atmosphere is open, warm, and buzzing with ideas and good conversations.

You’ll quickly make friends, and grabbing a coffee or spending time together after work happens naturally.

And because our culture is shaped by all of us, every day, you’ll have the freedom to influence how we work, connect, and evolve

as a community. Each of our offices also brings its own character to the mix.

At Futurice, new joiners aren’t expected to fit into a mold. Come as you are, whatever your background. We believe in the power of

different perspectives, and diversity is a key part of our success. You can read more about our DE&I commitment here.
