About this opportunity

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join the AI & Automation team in Group Finance, where we design and build production-grade AI and automation solutions that support Nordea’s financial steering and regulatory commitments. The solutions support areas like capital and liquidity management, risk control, regulatory reporting, and the broader Group Finance value chain.

Our mission is simple: use AI and modern engineering practises to make Finance more accurate, efficient and forward-looking. In this role, you will take a leading technical position in shaping, designing, and delivering AI‑enabled solutions that directly influence how Group Finance works, makes decisions, and prepares for the future.

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you will take ownership of end-to-end technical delivery:

• Design and engineer AI-driven and automation solutions on Nordea’s enterprise and cloud-based platforms, spanning both established and next-generation AI & automation capabilities
• Analyse and re‑design existing finance processes, and co‑create future‑state solutions together with subject matter experts.
• Develop high‑quality, production‑ready Python code, building maintainable, testable components aligned with enterprise engineering standards.
• Integrate solutions into CI/CD pipelines with proper monitoring, testing, observability, and documentation.
• Contribute to the technical direction of Group Finance, evaluating new tools, architectures, and approaches suitable for a regulated environment.
• Collaborate closely with analysts, data experts, and other developers in Group Finance and Technology.

You will join a team of 6, located across the Nordics and in Poland with a diverse and complementary skillset. The role is based in Helsinki FI.

Who you are

You are an experienced engineer with a strong interest in applied AI and automation, and a clear focus on solving real business problems. You combine solid technical depth with ownership, curiosity, and the ability to work independently on complex topics.

To succeed in this role, we believe that you:

• Are self-driven and able to work independently, but also have keen interest and ability on sharing knowledge with others
• Are structured, proactive, and take responsibility for delivering high‑quality solutions.
• Are curious, focus on solutions rather than problems, and share our enthusiasm for developing and learning

Your experience and background:

• Master's degree in computer science, finance, economics, engineering, statistics or equivalent
• Strong technical skills with at least 5 years of experience in Python programming on an enterprise level
• Proven experience designing and building production-grade systems
• Interest in applied AI and ML-based solutions, especially in regulated environments
• Strong communication skills and experience with working with stakeholders across business and technology
• A growth mindset and willingness to continuously develop your skills

It would be also ideal if you would have experience with:

• Cloud‑based development on AWS
• Orchestration and containerised environments
• ML models and bespoke AI solution development, including operationalisation

What we offer

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we imagine you share with us.

People are driven by many different factors. For some, it’s to take their career to the next level. For others, it’s to break new ground within their area of expertise – in other words, with us, you will always move forward.

A culture that fosters performance and growth in one of the largest Nordic banks, offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.

Hybrid working model – we believe in the value of bringing people together and at the same time we embrace the freedom of flexibility.

Diversity and inclusion are a natural part of our daily work. We know that an inclusive workplace is a sustainable one. We genuinely believe that our diverse backgrounds, experiences, characteristics and traits make us stronger together. Every day we strive to find new ways to improve diversity and inclusion within our community e.g. we have signed the European Diversity Charters in the countries where we operate to show our commitment and engage with others to continue learning and improving.
