Do you get more energy from shaping the future than maintaining the status quo? Are you the kind of technology professional who wants to understand what the business is actually trying to achieve before designing the technology behind it? And would you like to work in an environment where you can influence everything from cloud strategy and IT investments to security capabilities and AI-driven initiatives?
If you're looking for a role that combines long-term thinking with practical execution, where you can influence technology direction and actively help turn plans into working solutions, keep reading.
We're creating a brand-new IT Architect role to help bring more structure, clarity, and long-term thinking to Staria's technology environment as we continue to grow internationally.
You'll work closely with both business stakeholders and IT colleagues, translating business needs into practical solutions and helping guide technology decisions that support our future growth.
What makes this role particularly exciting is its balance. You'll contribute to architectural planning and technology roadmaps while also staying close to implementation, working hands-on with technologies, projects, and solutions when needed.
As our IT Architect, you'll have one foot in IT and the other in the business. You'll help bring structure to our technology landscape, support important technology decisions, and ensure that development initiatives move from ideas into practical, sustainable solutions.
In practice, you will:
Own and develop Staria's target architecture, architecture principlescontributing to long-term IT roadmap
Partner closely with business stakeholders to understand strategic goals and turn them into practical technology initiatives
Drive IT development projects, technology modernizations, migrations, and new solution implementations from idea to production
Evaluate and challenge technology choices, vendor proposals, and architectural decisions from security, cost, scalability, and maintainability perspectives
Help define how we further develop and govern a modern cloud-first IT environment
Contribute to key decisions around cloud services, infrastructure, SaaS solutions, end-user platforms, and cybersecurity
Ensure security and compliance requirements are built into solutions from the start
Maintain architectural documentation, technology roadmaps, integration mappings, and decision records
Support and guide IT specialists with clear standards, designs, and technical direction
Explore emerging technologies, including AI-related opportunities, and assess how they can create value for Staria
Act as a senior technical expert and participate hands-on in implementation work when needed
One of your first priorities will be building a clear picture of our current architecture, documenting the landscape, and creating a roadmap for future development. You'll also be involved in shaping our cloud strategy, strengthening security operations, and improving vulnerability management practices across the environment.
You´ll report to Director of Business IT & Security.
We are primarily looking for someone based in the Helsinki area, but candidates located in Tampere or Turku are also welcome to apply. We work in a hybrid model and hope you're able to spend a couple of days per week at one of our offices to support collaboration and stakeholder work.
Our salary range for this role is €5,500-6,500/month, depending on your background and scope of the role. For a highly experienced architect, we are open to shaping the role with broader ownership across Staria's IT architecture, which would be reflected in the compensation. The holiday bonus is distributed evenly across your monthly pay, so it’s part of your regular salary.
This role is a great fit for you if you bring:
Several years of experience in IT Architecture, Infrastructure Architecture, Senior IT Specialist, Enterprise Architecture, or a similar senior technology role
Strong understanding of modern cloud-based IT environments and architecture design
Experience translating business requirements into technology solutions and roadmaps
Hands-on technical expertise combined with the ability to think strategically
Experience leading IT development, transformation, or modernization initiatives
Understanding of infrastructure, cloud services, SaaS platforms, and security concepts
Confidence to challenge ideas constructively and gain stakeholder buy-in for long-term improvements
Excellent communication skills in both Finnish and English
Additional experience in areas such as SecOps, ISO 27001, NIS2, GDPR, ITIL, or AI-related technologies is considered a plus.
You'll likely enjoy this role if you are comfortable operating in a fast-evolving environment, enjoy working with people across the organization, and get satisfaction from building sustainable solutions rather than quick fixes. You know how to turn good ideas into reality by building alignment, earning trust, and working closely with stakeholders across the business.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a new role and help shape Staria's future technology landscape. You'll play an important role in architecture development, influence key technology decisions, and help build the foundations that support our next phase of growth.
You'll work at the intersection of business and technology, combining architectural planning with hands-on implementation. If you enjoy solving practical technology challenges while keeping an eye on the bigger picture, you'll get plenty of opportunities to do both.
From cloud strategy and cybersecurity to AI initiatives and future technology investments, you'll have the opportunity to work on some of Staria's most important development areas while helping a fast-growing international company scale for the future.
We are serious about growth, but never too serious at work. Our hierarchy is low and the atmosphere is relaxed. Here, you can bring your whole self to work — personality, quirks, and all.
Flexibility is part of our DNA. In our hybrid model you can work from home, our modern and central offices, or even abroad from time to time.
While we value flexible remote work, we also prioritize in-person connections: onboarding and team days, office breakfasts, and shared events bring us together on a regular basis.
We’re proud of our Great Workplace certification, because it’s based on what matters most: strong teamwork, sense of purpose, managers who truly listen, and a culture where people want to stick around.
We’re truly international, with projects and colleagues across borders. You’ll get to collaborate with experts from different countries and backgrounds.
You’ll have the chance to grow and develop your career in various directions. We support your professional development and encourage you to seize new opportunities as we expand internationally.
We’re growing and our finances are solid. You can focus on your work without worrying about the ground shifting under your feet.
You’ll get benefits that make everyday life smoother: lunch, phone, and recreational perks are all part of the deal.
At Staria, we believe in growth without borders — for those who are curious and courageous.
