Senior AI Engineer

We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our growing team of data and AI professionals. In this role, you'll help our

clients solve real-world problems by designing and building AI-powered solutions that drive meaningful outcomes. You’ll work

hands-on with machine learning, generative AI and cloud platforms—developing impactful applications across industries like energy,

manufacturing, retail, health, mobility and more.

To get a sense of our work, explore our Neste AI assistant project and our experiment-driven approach to AI delivery. We work

across a wide range of challenges, and no two projects look the same. To get a feel for the breadth of what we do, take a look at

our Service Lines.

At Futurice, AI is not just about models. It’s about concrete business value. You'll be involved in projects from early

exploration and experimentation to scalable, production-grade deployment—bridging the gap between business, technology, and

people.

As a senior team member, you'll also mentor others, contribute to our AI strategy and practices, and play a key role in shaping

how we work with AI in a responsible and ethical way.

• Train, fine-tune or adapt AI models for specific use cases, including scenarios that call for offline, on-device or edge

deployment

• Design, develop and deploy production-grade AI and machine learning solutions, including generative AI applications (leveraging

LLMs and multimodal foundation models)

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in AI, ML engineering or applied data-intensive systems, including taking solutions from idea

to production

• Experience with model training/fine-tuning workflows (e.g. fine-tuning foundation models or training custom models for a

specific task); familiarity with optimizing models for offline or edge environments (quantization, distillation, or runtimes

like ONNX/TensorRT/Core ML)

• Strong Python skills, with experience building maintainable, production-quality code and working with APIs, data processing and

backend-style systems

• Experience with modern data, ML and GenAI libraries and tools, such as NumPy, Pandas, Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow or

similar (Deep expertise in any single framework is not required but we value the ability to apply the right tools

pragmatically)

• Understanding of agentic LLM architectures and patterns, including concepts like tool use, orchestration, evaluation and

iterative reasoning (Experience with frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK or similar is a plus, but not a

requirement)

• Experience deploying AI or ML solutions into production environments, including considerations around reliability, monitoring,

iteration and lifecycle management

• Fluent professional English; Finnish skills are a strong advantage, combined with strong communication skills, a collaborative

mindset, and confidence working directly with clients

We don’t expect you to tick every box. If you feel you’d grow into this role and bring complementary strengths, we’d love to hear

from you.

We support your growth with a wide range of projects, tools, and learning opportunities. Our client portfolio is diverse, offering

a variety of challenges and problem spaces that give you room to explore new areas and develop your skills in meaningful ways.

You’ll be encouraged and inspired throughout your journey by a community of motivated, multidisciplinary colleagues across

development, design, data, AI and strategy.

You’ll get a thorough local and global onboarding, plus your very own Futubuddy to support you throughout your journey with us.

And to top it off, you’ll have the chance to join our Onboarding Camp.

Your complete compensation package will be discussed in detail during the recruitment process. Our salary model is designed to

offer a range of levels based on three factors: skills, responsibilities and impact. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive

and supportive work environment where every employee has the opportunity to thrive and advance in their career and become better

versions of themselves.

During the initial interview round, we will discuss the salary range for this position. We offer a fixed salary with the

possibility of performance-based bonuses and additional benefits.

Our form is simple: share your contact details and upload your attachments. We’d love to see your CV and a few lines about

yourself and why you want to join Futurice. You can also include links to your LinkedIn or any other materials you find relevant.

1. First conversation (60 min, Google Meet)

You will meet two Futurice team members, get to know them, and have the opportunity to introduce yourself while learning more

about Futurice, the role, and our ways of working.

2. Skills-based interview (90 min, Live)

A deep dive into your skills with two of our data consultants. We’ll review your problem-solving approach and skills.

3. Role, expectations & projects interview (60 min, Live or Google Meet)

A conversation focusing on your potential role, expectations, and upcoming projects. This interview is typically with your

Ever since Futurice was founded, we’ve focused on creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy, Mondays included. We’ve built a

welcoming culture where trust, kindness, and well-being matter as much as great work. Our atmosphere is open and warm, whether

you’re in the office or working remotely. You’ll quickly feel part of the community where coffee chats, virtual fikas, or
