About the Role

As an ML/AI Engineer at Aptide, you'll develop AI solutions for Norwegian municipalities. Your work on Aptide's data-driven, responsible AI platform will directly address public sector challenges, creating impactful tools that streamline processes and enhance decision-making. You'll build within a single, integrated platform, ensuring compliance with Norwegian values, privacy, and the AI Act's traceability requirements, making Aptide's solutions safe and auditable.

Key Responsibilities & Impact

What You'll Do

Your day-to-day will involve a blend of challenging and rewarding tasks:

Platform Ownership

Take ownership of core parts of Aptide's AI platform alongside the existing team, from document understanding and drafting to retrieval, reasoning, and data analysis.

Develop AI Frameworks

Help build out Aptide's Agentic Reasoning Framework (ARF) and Knowledge & Retrieval Architecture (KRA) into a fully metadata-driven, evaluable system where authority, relevance, and provenance are first-class.

Lead Explainable AI

Help lead Aptide's work on explainable AI — making every answer traceable from question to claim to source, with reasoning paths users can inspect, challenge, and trust.

Build Knowledge Graph

Design and build the knowledge graph layer that captures how public-sector information actually connects — laws, decisions, plans, and reports referencing each other — and turn it into something the system can reason over.

MLOps & Evaluation

Establish and maintain MLOps and evaluation pipelines to ensure efficient, reliable, and scalable deployment of AI solutions into production environments.

AI Innovation

Continuously explore new AI technologies and methodologies, embracing frequent iteration to stay at the forefront of native AI engineering.
