We are now looking for an AI Engineer to join us in Helsinki in a permanent position. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing AI solutions to meet business needs.

A Few Words About The Job

As an AI Engineer, business understanding and technical expertise come together. You will identify and implement AI solutions that create value for both customers and the business. In your work, you will bring the opportunities of artificial intelligence into everyday operations.

The role includes

  • Understanding and assessing business needs and identifying opportunities to leverage AI (e.g., machine learning, natural language processing, generative models, agentic AI) to support business process development and decision‑making.
  • Designing, developing, and implementing AI solutions in collaboration with business and technical stakeholders.
  • Ensuring the functionality, scalability, and maintainability of AI solutions, and contributing to their continuous development and optimization.
  • Supporting the ethical, reliable, and transparent use of AI, including proper documentation.
  • Contributing to the development and maintenance of the Azure infrastructure required for AI development.
  • Staying up to date with AI developments and technologies and evaluating their applicability to OP Pohjola’s needs.

You will work with Azure infrastructure and AI services, machine learning methods, programming languages (e.g., Python), database tools, as well as analytics and modeling platforms.

What we expect from you?

To succeed in this role, you have hands-on experience in developing and deploying AI solutions. You have participated in projects where AI has been genuinely used to create value for both the business and customers. You are familiar with process-driven development—particularly business process development—and can identify improvement areas and integrate solutions into day-to-day operations. You work naturally as part of a multidisciplinary team and have experience collaborating with both business and technical stakeholders. We value an analytical mindset, proactivity, and strong problem-solving skills. You communicate fluently in English. Proficiency in Finnish is considered an advantage.

Our working environment is agile, supportive of continuous learning, and encourages bold experimentation — you will join a team where everyone’s contribution truly matters and makes a difference.

We work in modern offices in Vallila, designed to support smooth and efficient ways of working. Our facilities offer a variety of spaces for both focused individual work and collaborative cocreation.
