Senior AI Engineer - Center of Excellence

Enterprise software is going through its biggest shift in decades. Applications are moving from deterministic workflows to

intelligent, agentic systems that understand context, remember preferences, and act on behalf of users. This isn’t a future

prediction, it's happening now, and Columbus is building at the frontier of it.

We're hiring a Senior AI Engineer to become a key part of our Group AI team. In this role, you'll help design and build the next

generation of AI-powered systems that will transform how thousands of people work across the Nordics and beyond. You'll work

directly with the VP Group AI. No layers. No committees. You build, you ship, you learn.

We're looking for a senior engineer who can operate across the full AI stack, from application design and intelligent agents to

enterprise integrations, data platforms, and AI infrastructure. You combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution and thrive

in an environment where you can influence both architecture and implementation.

This is not a consulting engagement or a proof-of-concept. It's production engineering at enterprise scale, on the Microsoft

platform, using the most advanced AI models available today.

• Strong expertise in LLM application design, including prompt engineering, agent frameworks, tool integration, and evaluation

methodologies.

• Experience building scalable, production-grade AI solutions, with focus on context management, performance optimisation,

observability, and cost control.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 technologies, including Graph, Teams, SharePoint, and cloud-native platforms such as

Azure.

• Experience building robust event-driven and API-first systems with strong focus on security, compliance, and enterprise-grade

reliability.

• The ability to move confidently between AI applications, integrations, infrastructure, architecture, and engineering

leadership.

You design and build intelligent AI experiences powered by LLMs, agents, tools, and orchestration frameworks. You understand model

behaviour, prompt engineering, evaluation strategies, context management, and how to create reliable AI solutions that deliver

measurable business value.

You connect AI capabilities with enterprise systems through Microsoft Graph, Teams, SharePoint, APIs, workflows, and cloud

services. You understand how to embed AI into business processes while maintaining security, governance, and operational

excellence.

You build the foundation that makes enterprise AI possible. From vector search and document processing to RAG architectures,

knowledge retrieval, and governance frameworks, you can design scalable and compliant AI platforms that perform in production

environments.

While no candidate is expected to be a world-class specialist in every discipline, we're looking for a senior AI engineer who has

strong experience across all three areas and can bring them together into practical, production-ready solutions.

At our company, you can easily apply using your LinkedIn profile or your CV, without having to fill out long questionnaires. You

do not need to submit a cover letter.

In our recruitment process, we use logic and personality tests. We always check references and conduct a background check before

an employment offer is made. If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact the responsible recruiter Daniel Sparrow.

Interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis.

After the recruitment process has ended, we will ask you about your experience as a candidate. It only takes a few seconds to

answer, and it helps us improve our recruitment process.
