About the Company
We’re working with an established Nordic online marketplace business operating across multiple consumer platforms.
The business is going through an exciting phase of technology transformation, with a major focus on bringing AI directly into its products, customer experiences and engineering workflows.
The engineering organisation is international, collaborative and relatively lean, giving experienced engineers the opportunity to take meaningful ownership and influence how technology evolves.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for Senior Backend Engineers with an interest in Applied AI to help build the next generation of AI-powered ecommerce capabilities.
This is not a research-focused ML role and it isn’t simply about integrating an LLM API.
You’ll be a strong backend engineer first, while helping design and build production AI capabilities across areas such as:
You’ll have the opportunity to work across different teams and technical domains depending on business priorities, with significant ownership from architecture and development through to deployment and operation.

Broad technical ownership
You'll have the opportunity to work across teams and take ownership of problems from initial design through to production.
Work at an important stage of AI adoption
The business is actively building its AI engineering capability, giving you the opportunity to influence how AI is integrated into products and engineering practices.
International engineering environment
You'll work alongside a multicultural team where English is the primary working language.
Working Model
