Do you want to help us establish an AI workshop for the public sector and lead the work of developing and implementing AI solutions that make a real difference for society? Do you also want to assist in carrying out a digital transformation in an agency at the forefront of new technology? With us, you will play a key role in building a sustainable and ethical AI architecture for the future.

About the job

As an AI architect at the Swedish Tax Agency, you will become our expert and strategist in AI. You will define architecture, drive innovation, and ensure that our solutions are effective, secure, and comply with laws and ethical guidelines. The role involves close collaboration with IT, business development, and legal teams to create sustainable AI solutions.

We work in an environment where security, privacy, and compliance are crucial. Our hybrid cloud architecture provides the flexibility to handle sensitive data on-premises while leveraging the scalability and innovative power of the cloud – a prerequisite for establishing the AI workshop for the public sector. It is therefore important that you ensure we adhere to ethical principles, GDPR, and the principle of public access. You will work on identifying and prioritizing the most valuable use cases for AI and lead the technical evaluations of AI platforms.

Furthermore, you will play a central role in designing solutions that balance these needs. The Swedish Tax Agency uses SAFe as an agile framework and works in agile value streams. You will collaborate with system architects and development teams to realize goals and conceptual architecture, and also support business owners and management in strategic work. You will provide and contribute expertise in AI models, data management, and MLOps.

It is essential for us that you have a sustainable work-life balance. We offer flexible working hours and the opportunity to work partially from home. You will receive a wellness hour each week and wellness benefits. With us, you have the opportunity for professional development and to continue building your future career.

You will belong to the architecture unit within the IT department and be located in Gothenburg, Sundbyberg, Umeå, or Malmö.
