Artificial Intelligence Engineer

AI Engineer | Generative AI & Backend EngineeringWant to build AI products that actually make it into production and get used at scale? We’re hiring an AI Engineer to join the central AI Engineering team of a large Nordic consumer and retail organisation. This is a hands-on engineering position where you’ll work directly with stakeholders to identify opportunities for AI, challenge ideas, prototype solutions and ultimately build and ship production-grade AI products. You’ll join a small AI team in Stockholm while collaborating closely with an international development team. The business has a growing pipeline of AI initiatives, so this hire will have significant ownership over both what gets built and how it gets built. What are they building? Current and upcoming projects include:Customer-facing AI chatbots with the potential to serve millions of usersSemantic search and retrieval solutionsInternal AI assistants used by employees across the organisationGenerative AI solutions for content and image productionAI-powered tools for personalising customer experiencesAn internal platform for rapidly building and deploying AI applications The team isn't tied to one AI framework or vendor. They actively experiment with new technologies and choose the tools that make the most sense for each problem. Their current ecosystem includes technologies such as:Python | Generative AI | LLMs | AI Agents | Google ADK | Qdrant | Vector Databases | Semantic Search | SQL | Pandas | PySpark | APIs What you'll be doing You'll work across the full lifecycle of an AI product:Business problem → technical concept → prototype → engineering → production Day-to-day, that means:Building custom AI and Generative AI applicationsDeveloping backend services and APIs in PythonBuilding and integrating LLM and agent-based systemsWorking with vector databases, retrieval and semantic searchProcessing data using tools such as SQL, Pandas and PySparkRapidly prototyping new AI conceptsTaking successful prototypes through to scalable production systemsWorking directly with Product Managers and business stakeholdersTranslating business problems into practical technical solutionsProviding technical opinions and challenging requirements when there's a better approachCollaborating with developers across an international engineering team This is therefore better suited to someone coming from a software/backend engineering angle with strong AI experience than someone looking for a traditional research-focused Data Science position. What we're looking for We're particularly interested in people who have:Hands-on experience delivering AI solutions into real-world environmentsStrong Python development skillsExperience building backend systems and APIsExperience working with data using technologies such as SQL, Pandas or PySparkExperience with modern Generative AI / LLM technologiesAn understanding of the rapidly evolving AI tooling ecosystemThe confidence to discuss technical solutions directly with non-technical stakeholders Just as importantly, you're someone who likes building things. You'll need to be comfortable experimenting, forming an opinion, challenging assumptions and then getting hands-on with the code to deliver the solution. Particularly interesting experience Any exposure to the following would be a bonus:AI agents / agentic applicationsRAGSemantic searchVector databases such as QdrantImage generation or image processingGenerative content solutionsPersonalisationAI applications within retail, e-commerce or other high-volume consumer environments A Master's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning or a related technical field is advantageous, as are relevant personal projects or an active GitHub profile.

You won't be joining an isolated innovation lab producing AI demos that never see production.You'll sit within a central AI team that works across a major Nordic organisation, giving you access to a huge variety of potential AI use cases and the opportunity to build products capable of reaching millions of consumers and thousands of internal users.
