Junior ML Engineer (Agentic Systems) in AI Foundations

AI Foundations is Schibsted's central AI platform team, responsible for core services and infrastructure that enable rapid and

reliable ML and AI development. Located in Sweden and Norway, the team maintains platform components for ML orchestration, feature

and vector embedding, ML and LLM model serving, an LLM gateway, and an emerging agent platform. We collaborate with many parts of

the organisation, including experiment teams, product development, security & privacy, and journalists.

Teams across Schibsted are building agents, each with their own frameworks and approaches. We need to turn that into a shared

foundation: a paved road from prototype to production that is secure, observable, and affordable to run. You’ll help build it,

working with senior engineers on our team and with agent builders across the company.

• Platform and tooling: Extend and operate our agent platform built on AWS AgentCore, help teams deploy and debug, and build

well-tested tools and harnesses that give agents safe access to internal code, data and services.

• Access and governance: Help run our MCP gateway and skills registry, so agents reach only what they’re allowed to and good work

gets shared across teams.

• Features & golden paths: Learn how teams build agents today, then turn what you find into platform features, standards,

templates, and clear guidance on what to use when.

• Users and ecosystem: Be the first point of contact for engineers, data scientists and journalists building agents, and turn

recurring questions into docs, templates and standards.

• Keep us current: Explore! Stay current with the fast-moving agentic ecosystem (new protocols, frameworks, managed services),

try things out, and help the team separate what's worth adopting from hype.

You bring a strong engineering mindset, a structured approach to problem-solving, and the ability to collaborate with

cross-functional stakeholders. More specifically, you have:

• 0–2 years of experience as an ML, AI or software engineer. Internships, thesis work and serious projects or contributions in

the open source space count.

• A practical understanding of how LLM agents work: tool calling, caching, context management, and common failure modes. You've

built at least one agent or tool-using LLM application, even as a side project.

• A curious and security-minded attitude. Agents that can act on internal systems raise important questions about access, data

exposure and misuse, and we want someone who finds those questions interesting.

At Schibsted, we value openness, curiosity, and collaboration. You’ll be part of a diverse, inclusive workplace that encourages

bold thinking and continuous learning. Our work directly supports public interest journalism and we take that responsibility

seriously.

Our engineering culture is built on trust and autonomy. You’ll have significant freedom to choose your tools, influence how we

work, and explore the technologies you find most compelling. Whether you're passionate about diving into new AI tools and

frameworks, refining MLOps pipelines, or advancing LLM architectures, we support continuous learning and specialization.

Schibsted Media Group includes some of the strongest media brands in the Nordics, including VG, Aftenposten, E24, Bergens Tidende,

Stavanger Aftenblad, Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, Omni, and Podme.

Every day, nearly seven million people turn to our editorial media to stay informed, engaged, and entertained through text, audio,

images, and video. The trust of our users is crucial to us. To maintain this trust, we prioritise truth, verifiability, and

transparency.

Our 2,800 employees are based in Oslo, Bergen, Stavanger, Stockholm, Helsinki, Krakow, and Gdansk. We rely on all of them to

succeed, through close collaboration across editorial teams, product and technology environments, and subscription and advertising

units.

What began as Christian Schibsted's small printing business in Christiania (now Oslo) in 1839 has grown into one of the leading

media companies in the Nordics. For nearly two centuries, our journalism has empowered people, built communities, exposed abuses

of power, and strengthened democracies. Our democracies depend on independent journalism. That’s our business.
