Job description

Reporting to: Director, Digital Development

NG Nordic is a leading Nordic provider of circular solutions and environmental services. By transforming waste into valuable resources and removing hazardous substances from circulation, we are avoiding emissions, protecting natural ecosystems and scaling access to circular materials. NG Nordic is a vital part of the Nordic industrial infrastructure, generating EUR 1.3 billion in revenue with a team of about 3,400 employees and 90 sites.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced, hands‑on Technical Lead to take ownership of the architecture, engineering practices and reliable delivery of NG Nordic’s customer‑facing digital solutions. You will own and build solutions that support core business operations, provide technical direction to a small team of 2–4 developers and collaborate closely with other delivery teams and business stakeholders.

This role is primarily a technical leadership position and strong senior‑level software development experience is therefore key. Previous formal people management experience is not essential if you have experience in technical leadership and the ability and motivation to grow into a people management role. You will combine technical leadership and architectural responsibility with hands‑on development and have the autonomy to make and justify technical decisions.

What you will do

• Own and drive technical decisions for customer‑facing solutions
• Design and evolve the architecture of the customer portal, APIs and Yard app
• Design and evolve data and integration architecture
• Ensure solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable and meet quality expectations
• Provide technical leadership and lead a team
• Ensure reliable delivery across scope, quality and timelines
• Drive technical excellence through code reviews, standards and management of technical debt
• Contribute actively to hands‑on software development
• Work closely with other technical delivery teams, the Product Owner and business stakeholders to shape the roadmap and translate business needs into technical solutions
• Advise business and product stakeholders on technical options, trade‑offs and recommended solutions
• Make independent technical decisions and communicate the reasoning behind them clearly

Technology environment

Our technology stack includes Kotlin, Spring, Playwright, Terraform, Azure, SQL Server, React and GitHub. Strong hands‑on experience with Kotlin, React and Azure is particularly important for succeeding in this role.

How we work

• Small, focused development team with end‑to‑end ownership of customer‑facing solutions
• Close collaboration with business, Product Owners and Group IT
• Emphasis on ownership, delivery, quality and continuous improvement
• Hybrid working model with approximately 1–2 days per week at the office in Espoo or Riihimäki
• The role may include occasional travel

What we are looking for

• Solid understanding of software and solution architecture, including APIs, data and integrations
• Experience in leading technical solutions, mentoring developers or providing technical direction
• Strong understanding of modern software development practices, including maintainability, security, testing and technical debt management
• Ability to make independent technical decisions and explain technical choices and trade‑offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong collaboration and communication skills
• Experience from the same industry is not required. Relevant experience can come from other complex application environments.
• Experience in using AI‑assisted development tools to improve software delivery and quality is considered an advantage

Education

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or equivalent experience

Languages

• Fluent English is required. Finnish is considered an advantage.
• Build, evolve and take ownership of customer‑facing digital solutions used across the Nordics
• Have a significant influence on technical direction, architecture and delivery
• Combine hands‑on development with technical leadership
• Opportunity to grow your leadership responsibilities while maintaining a strong technical focus

Recruitment process

The recruitment process consists of a few interview rounds, including a technical interview/assessment and two in-person meetings. Reference checks will be conducted for the final candidate. Also, drug screening is part of the pre‑employment requirements. We accept applications until November 12th. Interviews may begin during the application period, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.
