Our mission and why it matters

We are on a mission to make humans the strongest security layer.

Human risk remains one of the biggest vulnerabilities and traditional awareness training is not enough. We take a different approach by combining AI-driven personalization, real threat detection, and behavioral science to actively protect people and organizations.

We do not just simulate risks. We build the tools that detect and stop them.

Why this role matters

This role sits within a team that builds the backbone of our real threat analysis, remediation, and inbox security systems. The team is not starting from scratch, but evolving into a new phase, gradually expanding its focus toward integrations alongside its existing threat-related capabilities. This context is key. You will be working in the middle of established systems while helping shape how the integration work continues to evolve.

As a Software Engineer, you will focus on products that deal with real threats as well as integrations and plugins. Your mission is to strengthen our integration capabilities and modernize how our platform connects with customer environments and external security tools. You will work on critical plugins that serve as the main touchpoint for end users reporting threats. By building seamless connections between our systems and complex enterprise environments, you help ensure that our customers’ mailboxes stay clean, safe, and protected.

What you’ll own and drive

• Own the design and development of Threat & Remediation systems, integrations, and plugins.

• Lead integration and threat‑capability work end‑to‑end, from concept to production and maintenance.

• Ensure reliable and scalable threat‑data flow across systems.

• Drive improvements to integration and plugin architecture, including legacy modernization.

• Collaborate across engineering, product, and security, while flexing between integration and threat analysis areas as the team evolves.

  
  This role spans Threat Domain systems and integrations and will continue to evolve. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable with this ambiguity, curious across domains, and able to identify growth and improvement opportunities as the role develops.

What success looks like

This role sits within a team evolving across two fronts: strengthening our threat and inbox defense capabilities while expanding into integrations and plugins. Success in this role means being adaptable and proactive, contributing to both areas while helping the team grow its integration capabilities alongside its existing product strengths.

In your first three months, you will onboard smoothly, get hands-on with our Node.js and TypeScript ecosystem, contribute to smaller integration projects, and start exploring our plugin systems while building an understanding of our existing threat and inbox defense capabilities.

By month six, you will independently lead integration projects from start to finish, proactively improve engineering processes, and contribute to shaping the technical direction of the integrations subgroup, while continuing to support and evolve the team’s broader product capabilities.

What makes you thrive here

You have:

• Strong full stack development skills with Node, TypeScript, and React

• Experience building and delivering SaaS products, ideally focusing on integrations and plugins

• A product oriented mindset and a strong focus on solving real user problems

• The ability to navigate ambiguity and take ownership in a lean and fast moving environment

• Comfort working with both new and existing systems

• An AI native mindset with experience or strong interest in building software using agent based systems

• An interest in designing systems where agents can work effectively rather than writing every line of code yourself

• A way of thinking in feedback loops, iteration, and continuous improvement of how software gets built

Who you’ll work and learn with

You will be joining one of our six specialized product teams in a highly collaborative and supportive group that values autonomy alongside cross-functional teamwork. We embrace a product-first and AI-positive mindset, seeing AI as a tool to enhance our creativity and efficiency. You will work alongside engineers and security operators who take initiative, thrive in ambiguity, and are just as passionate about refining how the team works together as they are about what they build.

What you can expect from us

• Compensation: Monthly salary of € 6000-7000 depending on your experience.

• Working ways: We work in a flexible, but hybrid work setting. You are expected to visit the Helsinki office weekly.

• High performance meets high humanity: We bring an incredibly driven, high-impact energy to our work, but we leave our egos at the door. You will be surrounded by wildly talented, dedicated colleagues in an environment built on extreme kindness, support, and psychological safety.

• Authentic trust & autonomy: We hire great people and trust them to do great work. You will find a culture free of micromanagement, giving you the autonomy to take real ownership, drive impact, and shape things early on.

• A product you can be proud of: It is incredibly rare in cybersecurity to build a product that end-users genuinely love. You will join a fast-paced, technically sophisticated team making a real, measurable impact against cybercrime.

• The perks that matter: Alongside this amazing community, you will enjoy extensive healthcare and our cozy office in Helsinki (complete with a gym and swimming pool!).
