Job Description

For over 35 years, F-Secure has led the cybersecurity industry with our 200+ service provider partners. As the home of scam protection, we're reimagining how we protect people from modern threats through cutting-edge scam detection and solutions that are setting the industry standard. We bring together the sharpest minds of cyber security with a shared purpose: to protect people from modern threats. Here, you’ll have a real impact, making every digital moment more secure for everyone. You’ll thrive and grow in our Fellowship culture, where we dream big, trust, and challenge each other to deliver results and move with speed. You’ll be welcomed into a diverse, global team with an informal and collaborative culture where your voice truly matters.

Join us in securing the digital world together – where your work will make a lasting impact.

At F-Secure, our mission is to safeguard digital lives — and quality is at the heart of how we deliver on it. We're looking for a Test Lead to own and evolve our testing strategy across feature, API, manual, release, and performance testing. In this role, you'll help ensure our consumer cybersecurity products — trusted by millions across iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS — not only work flawlessly but also scale, perform, and delight. You'll be working on innovative features like AI-powered protection and custom partner configurations, with direct impact on the experiences we deliver to our partners and their customers globally.

Reporting to the Quality Assurance Manager, you'll collaborate with developers and QA Engineers across time zones. This is a technical leadership role without direct reports — you'll set the standard and mentor through influence, embedding end-to-end testing into our development practices. The growth runway is significant: from becoming F-Secure's go-to quality expert to expanding into test architecture, solution consulting, or AI-in-testing leadership, while contributing to organisation-wide quality improvements and strategy.

This role is based at our Bratislava office, with a hybrid working model. We'd love to see you in the office around 1–2 days a week to collaborate with the team, with flexibility for the rest.

Our estimated salary range for this role is €2,600 to €3,800 per month, based on your experience and skills.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop and own comprehensive test strategies across feature, API, regression, and performance testing (load, stress, endurance), defining scope and priorities for each release cycle
• Lead manual test execution and coordinate release readiness, ensuring quality gates are met and deployment risks minimised
• Collaborate with cross-functional development teams throughout the sprint lifecycle — planning, reviews, and continuous improvement of QA practices
• Track and communicate test results, risks, and quality metrics to stakeholders, providing clear visibility into product quality and release confidence
• Drive test automation improvements and contribute to performance validation tools to increase efficiency and coverage
• Expand expertise in cutting-edge practices including AI-based testing, CI/CD integrations, security testing, and scalability validation

What are we looking for?

• Strong testing expertise across functional and performance testing (JMeter, LoadRunner), with proven ability to identify edge cases and regression scenarios through manual testing
• Technical proficiency in API testing tools (Postman, REST Assured) and familiarity with test automation frameworks and scripting
• Experience defining comprehensive test plans, strategies, and coverage models aligned with product goals
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and QA's role within them (Jenkins, GitLab CI)
• Independent ownership mindset — able to take full responsibility for test planning and execution while collaborating effectively across global teams
• Strong communication skills to explain complex test results to developers and product stakeholders, with full professional proficiency in English

You get bonus points for:

• Curiosity about applying AI and emerging technologies to enhance testing workflows
• Experience with security testing in consumer software environments

Our hiring process:

Our hiring process will consist of three interview rounds: introduction interview, team interview, and final interview. Our aim is to move quickly through the steps and inform each candidate in a timely manner whether they will proceed in the process.

What you will get from us?

• Welcome to the good side: the home of scam protection! Work with industry-leading experts defining the future of cybersecurity and scam protection.
• Be an AI pioneer, not a follower. Access industry-leading tools like Claude and Claude Code, with full support to integrate AI into your daily work while others are still figuring out policies. We're not asking "if" but "how" AI transforms our work, positioning you at the forefront of the industry.
• Flexible work that works for you: hybrid and remote options with team-agreed ways of working.
• Inclusive environment with flat, approachable leadership in our diverse global community. Thrive in our Fellowship culture where we empower, trust, challenge, and support each other in doing our best work.
• Comprehensive global benefits including Employee Share Savings Plan (ESSP), Fellow Member of the Board opportunities, and Annual Protect & Educate paid volunteer day.
• Wellbeing support through personal coaching services and one hour per week for personal recharging.
• Continuous growth via F-Secure Academy, Leadership programs, AI training, mentoring, and dedicated Learning Week.

A security vetting will possibly be conducted for the selected candidate in accordance to our employment process.
