We are looking to expand our growing team with software architects specialized in secure software development for a variety of projects of different sizes across both the public and private sectors. There’s plenty of choice in projects, and the technologies used include Java, Node.js, Typescript, React, React Native, Vue.js, Angular, C#, .NET, Python, AWS, and Azure. What matters most is that we find a project that genuinely interests you!

You could join a development or renewal project in healthcare, early childhood education, or transportation – we offer truly meaningful public and private sector projects that impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of Finns. Our client projects are typically long-term, and you’ll usually be able to focus on one project at a time. Come build and develop meaningful digital services with us. Examples of our clients include Metso, Aimo Park, TE-Digi, and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency.

As a software architect dedicated to secure software development, you ensure that the solutions produced by the development team meet demanding security requirements and that security is naturally considered at every stage of the project. The focus is on defensive security during solution construction, but you’ll also collaborate smoothly with offensive security experts and quality assurance.

In addition to project work, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to the development and training of secure software development methods across Gofore and support your colleagues with your expertise.

What we expect from you

• Previous experience in a software architect role

• Extensive and diverse experience in the software industry (10+ years)

• Experience with secure software development methods (OWASP, DevSecOps) and integrating them into development team workflows

• Proficiency in multiple technologies and programming languages, with hands-on experience in some commonly used ones in our projects: React, Java, Node.js, Typescript, C#, .NET, Azure, and AWS

• Practical experience in designing and implementing security-related features in software solutions, such as:

  • SSO / OAuth / SAML implementations

  • Integrating tools like SonarCube, GitHub Security, Dynatrace, Mend SAST into CI/CD pipelines

  • Implementing ZeroTrust architecture and governance models

  • Supporting development teams in threat modeling workshops

• A certification related to cloud security and/or secure software development (e.g., ISC2 CSSLP)

• Fluent working and communication skills in both Finnish and English

• Experience working on classified or security-specialized projects is considered an advantage

• Previous experience in coaching and mentoring is considered an advantage

We don’t expect you to be an expert in all the areas listed above, so please apply even if not all of them are part of your skillset.

As a software architect, you’ll get to design and lead nationally significant software projects. You’ll work in a responsible role as part of an agile development team and contribute hands-on to development. Beyond development, you’ll be involved in the client relationship or project throughout its lifecycle, working closely with the client to translate business plans into technical roadmaps. You’ll support both the team and the client’s product owner in architectural work and develop sustainable solutions for the long term. A security clearance may be conducted for the selected candidate.

We value diverse experience, but we also want to offer opportunities for growth in new technologies and industries. With us, you’ll have a genuine impact on your career path and how your role evolves. Sharing expertise is at the heart of Gofore’s culture, and if you wish, you can mentor junior developers or organize internal knowledge-sharing sessions.
