Senior AI Engineer

Senior AI Engineer Help us create the software platform that will change Norwegian healthcare forever. Location: Oslo, Bergen, Bodø, Stavanger, or from anywhere in Norway Salary: 1.150-1.350 MNOK/year 🌍 Why this role matters At Aidn, we’re creating the missing healthcare platform all Norwegians deserve: an integrated set of services and applications that allow municipal institutions, healthcare professionals, social workers, and citizens to collaborate on healthcare matters as a single team. As municipalities face growing pressure to deliver more care with fewer resources, time saved in daily workflows has become one of the most valuable outcomes we can deliver. We’re building toward a future where healthcare staff have an “always available” digital colleague that helps them find the right information at the right time, reduces repetitive administrative work, and supports better decisions with clarity and consistency. As a Senior AI Engineer, you’ll help build the shared AI capabilities that make this possible. This includes speech-to-text and ambient documentation, source-lined summaries and “as the journal” experiences, safe automation and agentic workflows, and the guardrails that ensure everything is traceable, secure and trustworthy in production. This isn’t about experimenting with AI for its own sake. It’s about building reliable, auditable automation that gives healthcare professionals time back for what matters most: caring for people. 🔧 What you’ll be working on You’ll help build the shared automation and AI capabilities that power Aidn’s “digital colleague” direction. This work sits at the intersection of workflow orchestration, safe automation, and applied AI, and is focused on turning real municipal workflows into measurable time saved. Your work will include projects such as: Workflow orchestration as a foundation: Designing and evolving the workflow engine that structures how work moves through Aidn. This includes version-aware state machines, observability, audit trails, and production-grade reliability so workflows can safely anchor automation. Automation Engine and guardrails: Building the automation layer that performs real, auditable actions inside workflows. This includes safe execution patterns, previews before actions, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, risk tagging, rollback capabilities, and full traceability. Applied AI inside structured workflows: Integrating capabilities like speech-to-text, summarisation, drafting assistance, and contextual question-answering directly into workflows — always tied to the correct patient, case, and data context. Agentic and multi-step task flows: Exploring controlled, goal-driven automation where the system can propose and chain steps such as preparing a case, drafting a letter, creating follow-up tasks, or updating plans — with strict safety boundaries and transparency. Shared AI and automation building blocks: Creating reusable components, APIs, evaluation patterns, and tooling that allow other product teams to adopt automation and AI safely, without reinventing core infrastructure. Evaluation, monitoring, and continuous improvement: Establishing methods to test, measure, and monitor automated and AI-driven workflows over time, ensuring quality, reliability, and trust as usage scales. This is a role for someone who wants to build AI and automation that actually ships — in a domain where safety, traceability, and user trust are non-negotiable, and where the impact is measured in time returned to patient care. 🛠️ Current Tech Stack Aidn’s automation and AI capabilities are built on modern, production-proven technologies, with a strong focus on reliability, traceability, and safe execution in healthcare workflows. We build AI systems that are meant to run in production, be observable, and be trusted by teams and municipalities. We use: Languages & Frameworks: .NET / C# for core backend services, python for AI and evaluation tooling Cloud & AI Platform: Microsoft Azure, including Azure AI services and Azure AI Foundry Workflow & Automation: A shared workflow engine (state-machine based) and an automation platform with built-in guardrails Data & Storage: PostgreSQL, Azure Storage, and structured JSON-based payloads Messaging & Streaming: Kafka for reliable event-driven workflows and system integration Infrastructure & CI/CD: GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Terraform and Atlantis Observability: Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir (the LGTM stack), with monitoring patterns that support both workflows and AI quality Collaboration & Tooling: RFC-based documentation process, shared technical PRDs, and Slack for cross-team collaboration We believe in pragmatic engineering: building the thinnest safe slice that delivers measurable value, and evolving it through real-world usage, strong guardrails, and continuous improvement. 🤝 What we're looking for We’re looking for a hands-on AI engineer who combines strong software engineering fundamentals with real experience applying AI in production systems. You care about building capabilities that are safe, observable, and trustworthy—not just impressive prototypes. You understand that in healthcare, automation requires guardrails, traceability, and human oversight. You’re motivated by building shared AI capabilities that other teams can confidently adopt and extend. You take ownership of outcomes, care about measurable impact, and know how to balance experimentation with reliability and operational discipline.
