Description du poste

Nion is an IT consultancy with offices in Stockholm, Malmö, Gothenburg, Skopje, Bitola and Sofia, where 200+ IT specialists work together to deliver tailored digital solutions. Our clients operate in industries such as telecom, fintech and insurance, and we help organisations simplify complex challenges and create real business value.

We\'re now expanding our AI & Workflow Automation practice and are looking for an experienced Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) for our Stockholm office.

A Forward Deployed Engineer works inside the client organisation — not at arm\'s length. You sit with their teams, learn how the business actually runs, and turn AI from a proof-of-concept into a trusted, working part of daily operations. This is the role at the centre of AI and workflow automation at Nion: the person who takes an ambition to "use AI" and produces something that delivers measurable value.

The hardest part of AI isn't the demo — it's the gap between a clever prototype and a secure process people actually use every day. Closing that gap is what this role is about.

What you\'ll do

Every Nion FDE brings four core skills, and you\'ll work across all of them:

• Analysis — finding where AI and automation genuinely create value, and where they don\'t.
• Process definition — designing the new, AI-first way of working before any tool is deployed.
• Implementation — building, integrating and hardening agents, models and automations into the client\'s live environment.
• Adoption — making it stick through enablement, change and handover, so the value outlasts the engagement.

You\'ll own outcomes end-to-end: discovery and workflow mapping, solution design, hands-on implementation with AI tooling, and the change work that gets people using it. Throughout, you account for business value, AI sovereignty, AI spend, governance and compliance — GDPR and the EU AI Act built in, not bolted on.

Your profile

• Minimum 5 years in a delivery, consulting or solutions role where you\'ve taken automation or AI solutions from discovery to production in real business environments
• Strong process analysis and design skills — mapping workflows, quantifying value, and redesigning how work gets done
• Hands‑on experience implementing LLM-based and agentic solutions (prompt engineering, RAG patterns, multi‑step/agent workflows, tool use)
• Practical command of modern AI tooling and automation platforms (examples below)
• Comfortable integrating AI into business systems via APIs and connectors
• Experience driving adoption — enablement, stakeholder management, training and handover
• Solid understanding of data protection, security and AI governance (GDPR, EU AI Act)
• Confident working embedded in client teams and translating between business and technical stakeholders
• Fluent in Swedish and English, written and spoken

This is not a deep software‑engineering role. We\'re looking for someone who builds working solutions with AI tooling and integration — not someone writing large custom codebases from scratch. Comfort with light scripting (e.g. Python) to glue things together is expected, but the emphasis is on process, tooling and implementation.

Tools you\'ll work with

• LLM platforms: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI / Azure OpenAI, Watson.X
• Agent & orchestration frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen or similar
• Workflow & automation platforms: n8n, Make, Power Automate, Zapier, or comparable iPaaS / low‑code tools
• RAG & retrieval: vector databases and embedding models (working knowledge)
• Integration: REST APIs, webhooks, connectors to business systems
• Supporting: Python for scripting/glue, Git, basic containerisation (Docker)

Meritorious

• Anthropic Claude certification or equivalent AI platform credentials
• Prior consulting or client‑facing delivery experience
• Domain experience in telecom, fintech or insurance
• Experience with LLM evaluation, testing and guardrails
• Familiarity with agile ways of working

We\'re looking for someone who is

• Professional and committed to delivering solutions that meet real business needs
• Accountable and self‑driven — you take ownership of the big things and the small things
• Communicative and a team player who\'s comfortable embedded with clients
• Flexible and open to some travel in connection with client projects

With us you get

• A collaborative, flat organisation where support is a given. Your consultant manager acts as a mentor to ensure your professional development and wellbeing.
• A clear career path and continuous learning through projects, mentorship and skills development.
• A vibrant company culture with strong team spirit, knowledge sharing and social activities that make work fun.

Selected benefits

• Opportunity for part‑ownership
• Competitive fixed salary
• 30 days holiday
• Company laptop, phone and subscription

We make AI work in the real world — that\'s Sustainable Acceleration, delivered by people, not slides.
