• Collaborate with integration developers to securely expose LLM-driven functions and actions via Azure API Management and event-driven architectures (e.g. Service Bus),
• Work with ML engineers and platform teams to automate deployment, evaluation, and monitoring of AI agents in production, ensuring reliability, security, and performance,
• Partner closely with planners, production, logistics, and customer service teams to identify high-value AI use cases, run experiments, and measure business impact.

• Master/Bachelor Degree in Computer Science or similar education,
• 3+ years of professional Python development experience,
• Strong understanding of Azure services (App Services, AKS, Key Vault, Storage, Service Bus, OpenAI),
• Experience with LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or other orchestration frameworks,
• Familiarity with vector databases such as Azure AI Search, Pinecone, or Redis Vector,

• Fluent in English; proficiency in Swedish is a plus. 

Meriting skills 

• Experience with Azure ML or MLOps pipelines,
• Background in prompt engineering, model evaluation, or RAG optimization,
• Knowledge of data governance and responsible-AI best practices. 

Who are you? 

You are a hands-on developer who is motivated by solving real business problems. You enjoy spending time with planners, production teams, logistics, and customer service to understand their reality – and then building AI solutions that make their work easier, faster, and better. 

You inspire and motivate those around you, while encouraging collaboration and clear communication with stakeholders at all levels. You actively support experimentation and see failure as a valuable learning opportunity, helping to create an environment where curiosity and continuous improvement thrive. You are structured and take ownership from prototype to stable, production-ready solution.
