The posting

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 Backend Development Lead to join our Software organization in Oulu. In this role, you will guide a backend team building the secure, reliable and scalable services at the core of iLOQ 5 Series+, while staying hands-on with the code yourself. This is a role for an experienced software professional who enjoys solving complex problems, takes ownership beyond writing code and wants to influence both technical solutions and the way software is developed.

What you'll do

As our Backend Development Lead, you will guide the day-to-day development work of a Backend software team while remaining closely involved in technical delivery.

You will:

  • Lead and coordinate the team’s backend development activities
  • Support the team in turning product and business priorities into clear, achievable technical plans and predictable delivery without losing sight of quality and long-term maintainability
  • Participate hands-on in the design and implementation of backend services and APIs
  • Facilitate technical discussions and help the team make well-considered architectural and implementation decisions
  • Promote end-to-end ownership, including development, testing, releasing, monitoring and maintaining services
  • Develop engineering practices related to code quality, reviews, test automation, CI/CD, security and observability, including the effective and responsible use of AI-assisted engineering tools
  • Work closely with Product Owners, Software Architects, Test Leads, cloud specialists and other stakeholders
  • Identify dependencies, risks and blockers, and drive their resolution together with the relevant stakeholders
  • Coach team members, share knowledge and create an environment where people can learn and take responsibility

What you'll bring

To succeed in this role, we expect you to have:

  • Strong professional experience in backend software development, including leading, coordinating or facilitating the work of a development team
  • Hands-on experience with C# and .NET or comparable backend technologies
  • Experience with cloud-based software development, preferably in AWS environments
  • A good understanding of microservice architectures, APIs and distributed systems, databases, integrations and cloud-native development
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, automated testing and modern DevOps practices
  • The ability to combine technical considerations with customer, product and business needs
  • The confidence to make progress in a complex environment and help others do the same
  • A proactive and collaborative working style with strong communication skills, including professional written and spoken English
  • Ability and willingness to coach team members.

Experience in any of the following is considered an advantage:

  • Secure or business-critical software systems
  • Monitoring, observability and service reliability
  • Leading modernization or cloud transformation initiatives
  • Working across software, hardware and cloud boundaries
  • Applying AI tools and agentic workflows in software engineering
  • Coaching developers or facilitating technical communities.

What you'll get

You will build products that end up in buildings all over the world and ease the everyday lives of our customers. You will have real responsibility and freedom to operate without big corporation bureaucracy. We ensure you’ll have room to grow professionally in a fast-growing international company.

We offer you a workplace within a collaborative and forward-thinking company culture, friendly and skilled colleagues, proper onboarding, and a solid benefits package: bonus program, full lunch benefit, extensive occupational health care with an annual dental check, life insurance, plus regular team and company events.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where diversity is valued and all employees are treated with respect. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply and join us in promoting an inclusive and diverse workplace.

Are you the person we are looking for?

We are expecting your application by Oct 14th at the latest. Please note that we might be reviewing candidates and conducting interviews already during the application process and filling the position as soon as the right person has been found.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
