You will shape solution choices, build production-grade AI infrastructure and workflows, and guide teams in adopting AI responsibly in line with Nordea standards.

About our team

The team works closely with product owners, engineers, architects, cybersecurity, data governance and cloud platform teams to ensure our solutions are pragmatic, compliant and production-ready.

You will also support colleagues through practical guidance and help raise engineering standards across the wider organisation.

Main responsibilities in this role:

* Take technical ownership of reliable, secure and scalable cloud and AI-enabled services, including participation in the 24/7 on-call rotation for business-critical applications

* Define and improve observability and operational practices across logging, monitoring, alerting, SLOs, incident response, resilience, cost control and production readiness, with a particular focus on Google Cloud

* Design and implement AI-enabled environments, including agentic AI solutions, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, agents and end-to-end AI workflows

* Translate business and operational needs into sustainable technical solutions, identifying dependencies, risks and opportunities for improvement

* Provide expert guidance to users and engineering teams, resolve complex platform issues and support effective adoption of environments and tools

* Own the implementation and lifecycle of development, test and production platforms, ensuring stable, high-performing and maintainable solutions

* Drive technical decisions based on evidence, platform knowledge and long-term value, and align choices with architecture, security and governance requirements

* Act as a senior technical partner who shares knowledge, reviews solutions and helps raise engineering quality across the team

* Global collaboration with Nordea members across different countries

Our requirements

This is a full-time permanent position with a hybrid working arrangement, up to 40% remote work is possible. We expect to hire in one of these cities: Gdańsk or Gdynia, Warsaw, Helsinki, Stockholm or Copenhagen.

* Practical knowledge of Linux/Unix environments

* Hands-on experience with CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible and Git-based repository management

* Experience designing, integrating or operating AI-enabled solutions, such as generative AI services, agentic workflows or retrieval-augmented generation

* The judgement to make sound technical decisions in a regulated environment, balancing innovation with security, resilience, governance and maintainability

* A lead-by-doing approach: you combine deep technical expertise with hands-on delivery, practical guidance and a willingness to share knowledge

* Great communication and stakeholder management skills, with fluency in written and spoken English (no Polish or Nordic languages expected)

It would be ideal if you also one or more from following:

* Have designed or implemented AI workflows and can demonstrate how you have moved AI use cases from experimentation towards reliable production use

* Have worked in a 24/7 operational environment and are comfortable joining an on-call rotation during normal working hours and, at minimum, one week every two months

* Have led the resolution of complex incidents, including root-cause analysis, change implementation and communication with customers and stakeholders
