Applied AI Engineer

We build software that makes governance, risk, and compliance approachable: turning dense regulatory frameworks and internal policy into something organizations can work with. AI is central to how we do that, surfacing the right information, making sense of complex documents, and keeping outputs trustworthy in a domain where accuracy matters.

We were founded by Magnus Juvas, serial entrepreneur behind Solidify and Transcendent Group, and Emelie Alftrén, with over two decades in risk management and governance. Two people who had seen the problem from both sides and decided to solve it properly.

We're early-stage, meaning the foundations are in place but there's plenty left to shape. You'll have real ownership over both what you build and how it evolves. We're based in Stockholm and work hybrid.

Joining Nooga means three things.

Own it: we take responsibility and act. If you see a problem, you step up.

Challenge the norm: we don't build things the way they've always been built. We build them better.

Succeed together: with each other, and with our customers.

This role owns the AI layer end-to-end: how LLMs are prompted, orchestrated, and evaluated, and how documents are ingested, understood, and retrieved. The core architecture is in place and proving itself; there's real influence over where it goes next.

We're looking for a strong mid-level to senior engineer who has built LLM-powered systems that real users depend on (not just prototypes) and who wants meaningful ownership from early on. You'll work closely with the backend team. You don't need a background in GRC, but you need to be genuinely curious about the problem.

• Owning LLM prompt design, orchestration, and evaluation across our Azure AI Foundry deployments (Claude and GPT family): questioning what exists, improving what matters, proposing what's next
• Driving retrieval quality across the full RAG pipeline: chunking, embedding, indexing (Milvus / HNSW), and re-ranking, with eval sets that prove a change is an improvement, not just a variation
• Building the eval and safety layer: hallucination detection, citation faithfulness, contradiction detection, and regression suites in CI — in a regulated domain, evaluation is a first-class engineering concern
• Extending and hardening the Celery-based document processing pipeline (extraction → graph): improving reliability, observability, and cost efficiency
• Shipping to production via AKS and Terraform, instrumenting what you build, and staying accountable after launch
• Challenging the architecture and ways of working when you see a better approach, and making the case

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building LLM-powered systems in production
• Strong Python; comfort in a typed, tested codebase (we use mypy --strict, ruff, and pytest)
• Hands-on experience with RAG: vector databases (Milvus, pgvector, Pinecone, or similar), embedding model selection, chunking strategies, re-ranking
• A practical approach to evals: you can talk concretely about how you've measured retrieval quality or output reliability on a real system
• Experience with prompt engineering for structured output and multi-step pipelines, including handling failures and partial results
• Understanding of where LLMs fail and how to defend against it: prompt injection, hallucination, citation drift, model version changes
• Product instinct: you connect technical decisions to user outcomes

• Experience in a regulated domain (GRC, finance, legal, healthcare) where audit trails and source attribution matter
• Celery, Redis, or similar distributed task-queue experience
• Apache AGE or other graph database experience
• Microsoft Teams bot or Adaptive Card development

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Office in central Stockholm with a flexible hybrid environment.
• Career growth and development opportunities.
