Senior Backend Developer
Making life accessible
iLOQ is an international company headquartered in Finland that offers intelligent locking systems and total access management
solutions. We provide secure and efficient access to buildings and facilities. Our mission is to make everyday life easier with a
diverse range of safe and sustainable products for individual buildings, large real estate complexes and critical infrastructure
sites.
We reinvented the lock. iLOQ's self-powered digital locking and mobile access solutions work without batteries or mechanical keys,
something nobody thought was possible until we did it. But the lock is only half of the story.
Behind every iLOQ lock is iLOQ 5 Series+. iLOQ 5 Series + is our modern, cloud-based, AI-enabled software platform which powers
access management for buildings and large real estate complexes across the world. Locks, keys, apps and cloud services are all
working as one system: this is where hardware innovation meets serious software engineering. Scalable backend services,
security-critical design and a platform that keeps evolving with new AI-driven capabilities.
We are now looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join our Software organization in Oulu. You will design, develop and maintain
the secure, reliable and scalable backend services at the core of iLOQ 5 Series+. This is a role for an experienced software
