The role and the team
We’re looking for an Engineering Lead to establish and guide a brand‑new team: Product Infra. This team plays a critical role in strengthening the infrastructure behind our desktop products, ensuring they are scalable, maintainable, and ready to support a growing and diverse customer base.
You’ll lead a team of 5–8 engineers, working at the intersection of product development DevOps, and Quality Assurance. While the DevOps team owns cloud environments and pipelines, and QA ensures product delivery, your focus will be on product‑specific infrastructure — from customization and deployment to build systems and test frameworks.
A key part of your mission will be to modernize and refactor our platform customization and deployment architecture, enabling us to support an increasing number of platform customers efficiently and reliably.
You can be based in Espoo or Tampere, working closely with talented colleagues across locations and disciplines.
Your impact
As an Engineering Lead, you’ll create an environment where both people and products can thrive. You’ll bring clarity to complex topics, keep work flowing, and help the team make confident, well‑reasoned decisions.
Your leadership will directly influence how our desktop products are built, customized, tested, and delivered — making a real impact on our customers’ success and our company’s ability to scale.
In this role you will:
- Lead and mentor the Product Infra team, with regular 1:1s focused on wellbeing, growth, and professional development
- Driving improvements across:
- Product customization and variation for desktop products
- Product deployment, including distribution and software update mechanisms
- Desktop build systems, improving speed, modularity, and reliability
- Dependency management, keeping dependencies organized and up to date and enabling SBOM reporting
- Test infrastructure, enhancing our custom testing solutions for the 3D simulation platform
- Collaborate closely with DevOps and Quality Assurance on cross‑team dependencies
- Facilitate team decision‑making and maintaining momentum toward shared goals
- Provide technical and quality oversight through design reviews and testing strategies
- Champion continuous improvement in processes, tooling, and product quality

Our tech stack includes:
