Build practical AI solutions with real business impact

Our small, agile AI and Automation team in Finland helps the wider ALSO Group apply AI and automation to meaningful business needs. We are looking for an early-career AI Developer who enjoys building useful applications, connecting data and systems, and finding practical ways to improve how people work.

You will contribute to our internal AI solutions and enterprise integrations, while exploring new technologies and helping shape technical designs together with the team. This is primarily an application and integration development role, rather than an AI research or model-training position.

The role offers variety and room to grow. You will take increasing ownership of the solutions you build, with guidance from your teammates and close collaboration with colleagues across the business, IT and Security.

What you will do

• Develop new features and capabilities for our internal AI solution.
• Build integrations with enterprise data sources, applications and APIs.
• Explore how LLMs, enterprise knowledge and automation can support practical business workflows.
• Design, implement and maintain backend services and integrations, primarily using Python and TypeScript.
• Help test, evaluate and monitor AI features, paying attention to output quality, reliability, cost and response times.
• Work with application owners, security specialists, data engineers and end users to turn business needs into working solutions.
• Help ensure that applications and integrations respect access permissions and data-protection requirements.
• Experiment with new technical approaches and contribute to solution design together with the team.
• Apply shared engineering practices and take increasing responsibility for the tools you build, with support from your colleagues.

What we hope you bring

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Solid programming fundamentals and practical experience with Python or TypeScript, plus a willingness to develop your skills in both.
• A basic understanding of LLM-powered applications, such as calling model APIs, writing prompts and handling structured responses.
• Familiarity with building or using APIs.
• Familiarity with Git, basic testing and writing clear, maintainable code.
• An interest in learning Azure and building cloud-based applications.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, curiosity and a genuine willingness to learn.
• Fluent English. Finnish is preferred, and German is a plus.
• The right to work in Finland and the ability to visit our Tampere office approximately 1–2 times per month.

Your experience can come from work, internships, studies or personal projects. We do not expect you to arrive knowing every technology we use.

It is a plus if you have

You do not need all of the following—experience in any of these areas is welcome:

• AI applications: Projects involving LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents, tool calling or automated workflows.
• AI tools and models: Exposure to Model Context Protocol (MCP), or experience running, evaluating or integrating local LLMs.
• Backend and cloud development: Experience with FastAPI or similar Python frameworks, Node.js, Azure or Azure AI services.
• Software delivery: Familiarity with databases, Docker, CI/CD or application deployment.
• Frontend development: Experience with React, Vue or other TypeScript-based technologies. UI/UX skills are useful, but are not the focus of this role.

What we offer

• A permanent, full-time role with flexible working hours and primarily remote work in Finland.
• Working equipment and furniture for your remote-work setup, in line with our company policy.
• Occupational healthcare, plus lunch, sport and culture benefits.
• Meaningful responsibility and variety: opportunities to work across AI applications, integrations and backend development rather than being confined to a narrow technical scope.
• A supportive, skilled and agile team that helps you develop across multiple areas.
• Opportunities to learn through collaboration, team support and relevant training sessions.
• The chance to influence how people work across the ALSO Group through practical AI and automation solutions.

Interested? We would like to hear from you
