Lead Developer, Identification Means (IAM)

As a Lead Software Developer, Identity Access Management (IAM), your daily tasks will involve designing software architecture as part of identification development teams (four teams) belonging to Digital Capabilities tribe. You and team have a common goal to design, develop and implement high-quality technical solutions for Customer Identity and Access Management. As a Lead Developer you will oversee the quality of releases and from time to time do some coding yourself. Team balances their work with new development and maintenance of the existing services. We are a company with a long prosperous history and therefore we have our legacy systems as well. Our focus is on developing new solutions, but it is necessary for you to understand legacy systems too. You as a Lead Developer will mentor and coach your team and you know how the buy-in is the best way to sell. One great background for this role is a coding architect, as you will be working with solution architecture and design. Your closest stake holders and partners will be team POs and tribe Tech Lead.

At OP we put emphasis on Agile. Our teams utilize Scrum or Kanban based on their own needs. Agile ceremonies are followed, but common sense is used on implementation of them. That's why we hope that you enjoy working in a team and you are an active team member. Improving our practices is a task for us all. Sprint cycles are extended with quarterly planning session to improve the cooperation within the tribe and between the tribe. All tasks are prioritized through one backlog owned by the team. Mentality is to empower the teams and give them freedom on decision making. Despite the size our organization structure is flat, therefore cooperation between tribes and teams should be smooth and you can easily contact colleagues from other tribes and teams.

OP is currently executing a large-scale DevOps transformation. Teams are improving solution architecture, automating CI/CD pipelines and taking in increasing amounts ownership of service operations. We embrace the 10:20:70 rule and reserve time for improving day-to-day working and learning.
