AI Native Software Engineering Lead

Hands-on technical leadership for scaling AI-native product development

Join a high-impact product development initiative where you will work side by side with R&D teams to embed generative AI into real software engineering work, not just training sessions.

Start

asap

Duration

6 months (+ possible extension)

Location

Helsinki, remote

Allocation

100%

In this role, you will:

Work directly within software development teams, contributing in day-to-day engineering and demonstrating practical AI-augmented development workflows in real project contexts.
Help teams apply modern GenAI tools such as Claude across requirements definition, coding, iteration, refactoring, testing, and broader development processes.
Identify where generative AI creates measurable value in the software lifecycle and turn those insights into effective, repeatable engineering practices.
Coach and challenge key teams technically while helping them adopt new ways of working and build an AI-native engineering mindset.
Document learnings from pilot teams and shape scalable operating models that can be rolled out across a wider R&D organization.

You will thrive if:

You have a strong hands-on software engineering background and can actively code, prototype, and improve development practices with engineering teams.
You have deep, practical experience using generative AI in software development and understand modern AI coding tools and workflows beyond surface-level prompting.
You have worked in roles such as Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, Tech Lead, or similar, where you combined technical depth with leadership and mentoring.
You are effective at driving change in real delivery environments and can help teams evolve their habits through practical example, not just workshops or presentations.
You are comfortable working in an international environment, with mostly English-speaking teams and some Finnish-speaking teams, and can work on site in Vantaa mostly.
