Lead Developer, Embedded Software

As our software consulting business unit continues to grow we’re looking for a Lead Developer who enjoys getting hands-on with

technology and architecture, while also stepping up to lead small customer projects when needed. This role offers a unique blend

of technical depth and leadership—ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of architecture, implementation and customer

collaboration.

Your role in a customer project may begin with defining the system architecture together with the customer, followed by building a

proof-of-concept and eventually ramping up full-scale development with the rest of the team. Alternatively, you might join an

existing project, quickly grasp the domain context, and translate customer needs into technical solutions that you’ll implement

collaboratively. Either way, your expertise will have a significant impact on the project’s outcome.

You’ll be involved in technically fascinating work across domains such as industrial automation, heavy machinery, and autonomous

vehicles creating robust, scalable systems that power cutting-edge products.

We’re looking for a technically strong and collaborative Lead Developer who thrives in agile environments and enjoys mentoring

others. You take ownership, communicate clearly with both teams and customers, and bring a proactive, customer-oriented mindset to

everything you do. Continuous learning and writing clean, efficient code are part of how you work.

• In addition, some of the following are familiar to you: Qt, QML, C, GUI or middleware development, different communication

protocols, field buses, hardware integration, distributed systems, real-time systems, API design including REST APIs, Yocto

• Purposeful engineering: You’ll work on robust, scalable software powering e.g. mining equipment, harbor cranes or intelligent

industrial systems — where reliability truly matters. Our projects tend to be long term, typically 1–3 years, giving you time

to contribute and see the bigger picture.

• Growth built-in: We have a team of highly competent professionals you can hone your craft with. We actively support continuous

learning, and you’re encouraged to use working hours for professional development.

• Flexible working model: Work from home, our Finlayson office or customer sites — depending on the project. Some projects can

involve 1–2 on-site days per week in the Pirkanmaa region. Thus location close to Tampere is preferred.

• Low hierarchy, high trust: You’ll have ownership of your work and the trust to make decisions that matter. We keep things

low-stress and inclusive.

• Comprehensive employee benefits. As part of a successful and financially stable company, you will enjoy a wide range of

benefits, including: Lunch, sports, culture, and wellbeing benefits, free office parking, comprehensive occupational

healthcare, leisure-time accident insurance, employee fund and a collective performance-based bonus model. In addition, we

regularly organize social events and informal gatherings for our employees.

We are a Finnish, family-owned technology company with over 65 years of history and around 1,300 professionals. We build solutions

that improve safety and performance in industries where reliability is critical.

Submit your application or apply with your LinkedIn profile by August 23rd. Our roles are flexible by design, so we’d love to hear

what kind of position would be the perfect fit for you. We review applications continuously and fill the role as soon as we find

the right person.
