Senior AI Engineer – Nuuday
Are you a proven Software or ML Engineer who writes clean, production-ready code and can take an idea from concept to production, first from 0 to 1, then scaling from 1 to 100? Do you thrive in ambiguity and excel at charting a pragmatic path to realize time-to-value sustainably and in the shortest time possible? If so, you might be the perfect fit as the first and key engineering hire in Nuuday’s AI Center of Excellence in Aarhus or Copenhagen.

Your Responsibilities:
- Build High-Impact Automations: You will design, develop, and deploy maintainable automation and AI solutions that connect diverse company systems to reduce manual work, lower operational costs, and enhance customer experience.

- Establish the Engineering Foundation: Help define our standards for production readiness and pragmatic monitoring. You will promote MLOps and software engineering best practices, by creating reusable frameworks for scalable, reliable AI systems.
- Evolve to ML Solutions: You will develop, validate, and implement Nuuday’s ML models that deliver a superior customer experience – moving from prototype to production-ready services.

- Bring a mature engineering mindset, enjoy structured cross-functional collaboration, and have excellent communication skills.
