Welcome to Group Technology, where we pride ourselves on engineering solutions that directly impact Nordea's 2030 goals to modernize data technology and accelerate AI.

We’re seeking a Technical AI Safety Specialist to build deep, hands-on technical expertise in the engineering-heavy risk areas that come with scaling AI and agentic systems across topics like AI gateway architecture, MCP servers and agentic tooling, red-teaming methodology, evaluation frameworks, and the cybersecurity implications of new AI capabilities. You’ll partner closely with engineering, architecture, and information security teams to turn that technical understanding into pragmatic governance guidance, technical risk assessments, and internal white papers. This role sits within the AI Safety team, which brings together architectural governance, AI risk operations and advisory capabilities to enable safe, trusted and compliant AI across Nordea. As AI and agentic systems become more complex, the team needs stronger technical expertise to understand how these systems are designed, secured, evaluated and operated, and to translate that understanding into practical guardrails, risk assessments and guidance.

Nordea is a place where traditions meet tomorrow. We're not just a bank; we're a tech employer on a mission to evolve finance securely and responsibly. Together, we impact millions of people's daily lives by ensuring they can access our solutions anytime, anywhere, while safeguarding their personal data and wealth. Join us in making an impact on the banking industry.

This position is a full-time, permanent role with hybrid working location based in Helsinki, Finland, Copenhagen, Denmark, or Stockholm, Sweden.

About our team

Meet the AI Safety team, part of AI Portfolio Delivery within Group AI, responsible for enabling safe, trusted and compliant AI across Nordea through efficient, scalable and holistic risk governance. AI and agentic systems are moving fast, and so is our remit. We’re building deeper technical capability so that our governance keeps pace with new architectures, tooling, and emerging risks, helping to streamline AI deployment and maintenance while ensuring effective risk management and regulatory adherence.

Our culture emphasizes collaboration, continuous learning, and innovation in an open environment where diverse ideas thrive. We support each other's growth while pushing technology boundaries, prioritizing work-life balance, and open communication.

What you will be doing:

Build and maintain deep technical knowledge of engineering-heavy AI risk areas, including AI gateways (e.g. Kong), MCP servers and agentic tooling, evaluation frameworks, and red-teaming methodology

Partner with engineering, platform, and cybersecurity teams to understand how AI and agentic systems are built and operated, and translate that understanding into governance guidance

Track emerging AI developments and assess the technical and security implications of new capabilities, protocols, and attack surfaces

Author technical white papers, position papers, and risk assessments on AI infrastructure and emergent risk topics, written for both technical and non-technical audiences

Contribute technical input to governance frameworks, evaluation criteria, and technical controls for AI systems, without owning their day-to-day implementation

Engage with senior technical stakeholders across the organisation to pressure-test governance approaches against real engineering constraints

Act as a technical peer to engineering and cybersecurity teams in cross-functional discussions on AI security protocols and technical controls

Help shape what technical AI safety expertise should look like as the team’s scope and remit continue to evolve

Translate deep technical understanding into governance positions, RACI, and decision processes that first- and second-line stakeholders can act on

Who you are

You have a technical/engineering background and enjoy going deep on hard technical problems. You may not write production code day to day anymore, but you can hold your own in a conversation with a platform engineer about gateway architecture, or with a security engineer about red-teaming an LLM. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity – this role and team will keep evolving as the AI landscape does – and you’re good at translating technical depth into guidance that non-technical stakeholders can act on.

We're looking for someone with most of the following experience and skills:

BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related technical discipline

5+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, security engineering, or a similar hands-on technical role

5+ years of experience working with AI/ML system architectures, including how models, data pipelines, and infrastructure fit together

Understanding of cybersecurity principles as they apply to AI and agentic systems, including common attack surfaces

Familiarity with red-teaming or adversarial testing approaches for AI systems

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, GCP) in an AI context

Ability to communicate technical depth clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

It would be ideal if you also have:

Experience with AI evaluation frameworks or model/system testing methodologies

Experience writing technical white papers, research summaries, or position papers

Exposure to AI governance, risk, or compliance work, and an interest in bridging it with engineering

Understanding of regulatory frameworks for AI in financial services or other regulated industries

Experience with vendor or third-party technical risk assessments for AI platforms

Familiarity with data governance and privacy considerations for AI systems

We encourage applications from candidates who are passionate about the technical side of AI safety and meet most of these criteria.

If this sounds like you, get in touch!

Research Engineer in AI-driven Social Simulations

SVERIGES LANTBRUKSUNIVERSITET•Uppsala

Department of Ecology The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is one of Northern Europe largest academic hubs for ecological research and offers a dynamic and excellent research environment with modern infrastructure. The Department of Ecology has about 150 employees, of whom around 40 work at the Grimsö Research Station in Bergslagen. Together, the SLU Ecology Centre and Grimsö Research Station conduct research on sustainable agriculture and forestry, plant protection, nature conservation, and wildlife management, and provide scientific knowledge to inform Sweden and Europe’s environmental policies. About the position Project Can we foresee the outcomes of public policies, political choices and other decisions? We are finding out by developing serious games and running them using AI. We are building large-scale simulations of societal processes (environmental negotiations, nature conservation policies, and hybrid-threat scenarios) in which every actor is an autonomous AI agent powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). These agents simulate real-world stakeholders, from government ministers to interest groups, and interact through natural language in complex strategic settings. We then run thousands of iterations to map the distribution of outcomes. This effort is part of a new research program Articulating Complexity ( https://www.slu.se/articulating-complexity/ ) hosted at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) and led by Guillaume Chapron (Docent). It is funded by grants from the Swedish Research Council (VR), the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra), and the Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development (FORMAS). Our goal is to build a novel methodology at the intersection of AI, ecology, political science, and complex system analysis that may change how policies are designed and stress-tested and how governments prepare for crises. We are looking for ambitious research engineer to join this effort. Tasks and duties You will be the person who makes the simulations actually run. Concretely, this means: Building the LLM-agent infrastructure (from an existing working implementation). Each agent has a multi-tier memory and an affect state that modifies both prompts and available actions, and a strategic reasoning layer that tracks reputation, commitments, and mental models of other agents. Extending and maintaining the multi-agent simulation framework. A simulation runs dozens of concurrent LLM instances, communicating through structured message-passing protocols. You will develop and maintain this framework, including the validation methodology. Running large-scale Monte Carlo simulations at scale on GPU-enabled HPC clusters (e.g. NAISS). Publishing and dissemination of the project results. You will co-author scientific publications from the project. The research will produce papers at the intersection of computational social science, ecology, security studies, and AI. You will work closely with the PI (Guillaume Chapron https://www.slu.se/en/profilepages/c/guillaume-chapron/) and a postdoctoral researcher in computational social science (to be recruited concurrently). The three of you will form the core team. Your profile Required A degree in computer science, engineering, physics, applied mathematics, or a related quantitative field. A Master or engineering degree is sufficient; a PhD is welcome but not required. Strong programming skills, especially in Python, and sufficient understanding of machine learning/deep learning to work effectively with modern generative AI systems. Ability to assess and incorporate cutting-edge generative AI developments into the project. Experience with software engineering practices such as version control, testing, documentation, modular design, and reproducible workflows. Ability to work independently, debug complex systems under time pressure, and take ownership of technical infrastructure. Desirable Experience with LLMs, including programmatic use through APIs and local deployment. The candidate should be able to select, configure, adapt, and critically evaluate LLMs for research applications. Experience with deep reinforcement learning, agent-based modelling, or multi-agent systems, including the design of simulation environments, interacting agents, decision rules, feedback mechanisms, and scenario-based analyses. Experience with high-performance computing: batch job submission, GPU workflows, and managing large-scale computational experiments. Interest in the application domain: nature conservation, environmental policy, political science, geopolitics and security studies, complex adaptive systems. You do not need a formal background in these fields, but you should find them interesting. Assessment criteria Applications will be assessed on the following: Demonstrated technical ability. We care more about what you have built, than about what courses you have taken. A GitHub portfolio, a deployed system, a well-documented side project, or a track record of solving hard AI problems will carry more weight than a list of credentials. Autonomy and resourcefulness. This is a small team doing frontier work, so the role requires someone who can diagnose problems independently, make pragmatic technical decisions, and keep complex systems running. If that excites rather than worries you, this is the right position. Collaborative disposition. You will work daily with questions from very different disciplines: ecology, political science, geopolitics. The ability to communicate technical constraints and possibilities to non-technical collaborators is essential. Interpersonal skills will form an important part of the assessment. Location: The position is based either at Grimsö or at Uppsala, with a possibility to be partly based at another academic Swedish institution with a core expertise in AI and machine learning. Form of employment: Fixed-term employment 12 months with the possibility of prolongation. Scope: 100%. Start date: As agreed, as soon as possible after recruitment. Application: Please submit your application before deadline 14 July 2026. You can submit your application by clicking the button below. This is a shortened advertisement.
