Senior Software Engineer – AI Security & Infrastructure FINLAND

Senior Developer - AI Security & Infrastructure

You've spent years being excellent at your craft. You've also spent years watching that craft get buried under tickets, approval chains, and decisions made by people who've never written a line of production code. We get it. We built Roder because we were tired of it too.

Roder is an AI security and governance platform - a high-performance gateway that sits between organizations and every AI model they use, providing real-time threat detection, prompt injection prevention, traffic management, data sovereignty enforcement, and full audit trails. Think of it as the security layer that enterprises need before they can trust AI at scale.

We're building this in Rust. Fast, correct, and uncompromising - just like the security problems we're solving.

We're hiring two senior engineers. One position starts immediately. The other starts in August. We don't have two rigid role descriptions, because we believe the right people define the role - not the other way around.

The Role in a Nutshell

Permanent positions - one starting now, one in August

Remote-first - work from anywhere in Finland or Sweden. We meet in person occasionally, not constantly. When we do, we expect you there.

Salary -  competitive, based on your experience. We won't win on pure salary against the big consulting factories, but we offer something they never will: a genuine stake in what we're building.

Equity -  We want you to share in our success. Every employee joins our stock option program once they've successfully settled into their role. We have massive ambitions and are on a path to build something truly significant-this is a rare opportunity you won't find elsewhere to become a true part of Roder and reap the future rewards of our success.

What You'll Be Working On

Depending on your background and strengths, you'll take ownership across one or more of these areas:
