About you | Technical AI expert for scalable infrastructure
We imagine you as a proactive, structured, and collaborative professional with a strong academic background in a relevant field such as engineering or computer science. You bring deep technical expertise in AI, data science, and software engineering – ideally with experience from large, legacy heavy organizations with complex IT and data landscapes like Tryg.
You can leverage your experience defining best practices and standards across teams. You thrive in environments where you can mentor and coach others, promote knowledge sharing, and raise the bar on engineering practices (CI/CD, MLOps, monitoring). You are comfortable navigating both strategic and operational challenges, balancing the need for robust compliance and governance with practical, scalable solutions.
You understand the importance of data privacy, bias testing, and fairness, and you are committed to developing models that are auditable, explainable, and compliant with regulatory requirements. You are not just a specialist – you are a team player and a normative leader, able to influence and align stakeholders across domains. You enjoy working independently as well as in teams, and you actively seek out and challenge perspectives to foster a culture of continuous improvement.
Fluency in English is required; proficiency in a Nordic language is considered an advantage.
