Job description

WE MAKE AI REAL

Siili is at the forefront of AI-powered digital development. Here, AI isn’t just a buzzword – it’s embedded in how we design, build, and scale solutions together with our clients.

We are implementing our AI-centric strategy by focusing on three key areas:

• Staying on the cutting edge of technical innovation – from Generative AI and agentic systems to scalable AI platforms – while continuously developing our competencies.

• Transforming how software is built, reinventing value chains and commercial models through AI-assisted and AI-native development.

• Strengthening our ability to envision impactful and ethical AI solutions, ensuring that technology delivers measurable business value and is used responsibly.

As an AI Principal, you play a key role in turning this strategy into growth and customer impact. You help shape Siili’s AI offering, strengthen our position in the market, and build trusted relationships with our customers.

This is a senior role for someone who combines business acumen, strategic thinking, and technical credibility. You understand where AI can create meaningful value, can challenge and inspire customers, and know how to turn emerging opportunities into concrete business and successful engagements.

What will you do as an AI Principal at Siili?

You will work closely with customers, account teams, and our AI experts to identify and shape new opportunities. You help customers define their AI ambition and translate business needs into actionable roadmaps and solution concepts.

Together with our account teams, you turn customer needs into compelling solutions and new business opportunities. You also bring insights from customers and projects into the continuous development of Siili’s AI offering.

In customer engagements, you act as a trusted advisor, providing direction and ensuring that our solutions are both technically credible and grounded in real business value. You stay close to delivery and collaborate with our experts, while focusing on the bigger picture rather than being the primary hands-on engineer.

You will also play an active role in our AI community, sharing your expertise and helping develop our capabilities. As a thought leader, you will contribute to Siili’s external visibility by sharing insights and perspectives through content, events, and public speaking.

We believe that we can best help you build your story when you have:

• Strong experience designing and delivering end-to-end AI solutions into production from data and model development to deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management.

• Solid understanding of modern AI architectures, including cloud-native platforms (Azure, AWS or GCP), MLOps practices, and scalable data engineering foundations.

• Demonstrated expertise in delivering LLM-based and agentic systems

• The ability to connect technical AI capabilities with business needs and communicate architectural choices and trade-offs clearly to both technical and business stakeholders.

• Experience in consultative or technical sales, presales, opportunity shaping, and proposal development.

• Experience shaping customer needs into compelling solution concepts and contributing to the development of AI offerings.

• Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, and fluency in Finnish and English.

What we offer:

• A technically strong and collaborative community: You’ll work with experienced AI, data, and software professionals who value knowledge sharing, autonomy, and peer support.

• Opportunities to lead and influence: You’ll shape AI architectures, guide teams, and influence how AI is delivered across industries and clients.

• Real-world impact, not just experiments: You’ll help deliver AI solutions that scale, integrate into real processes, and create measurable business value.

• Continuous learning with top-tier partners: We support your growth through mentoring, training, and hands‑on access to the latest technologies via partnerships with Microsoft, Databricks, Nvidia, and others.

• Practical benefits: Flexible hybrid work, well‑being support, hobby clubs, family‑friendly services like daycare support for sick children, and a company share option program.

• A company with a mission: You’ll have a genuine opportunity to shape how AI is built and used in a leading IT service company.

• Mental well‑being at the core: We know that thriving at work requires more than technical skills. That’s why we offer support through services like Focus Tiger, provide in‑house coaching, and ensure that all our leaders have completed Brain‑Friendly Leadership training with the NeuroLeadership Institute. You’ll have access to tools and support that help you take care of your mind as well as your career – because real impact starts with well‑being.

• A culture shaped by Joy, Ambition, Responsibility, and a Humane touch: At Siili, meaningful work, psychological safety, and responsible action are the foundation for sustainable success.

At Siili, you’re not just designing AI systems.

You’re shaping how AI becomes real – in production, at scale, with impact.
