Senior AI Cloud Architect (AI Platform)- Public 360°- Tieto Indtech (m/f/d)
Tietoevry Public 360 - building secure, scalable digital services for the public sector across the Nordics.
About the role
Public 360 integrates cloud-based AI capabilities into standard enterprise software. We are building solutions for 600+ public organizations in the Nordics, and our AI platform runs customer deployments at scale and is evolving fast with GenAI and agentic AI.
As Senior AI Cloud Architect, you own the cloud architecture for our AI platform and shared services. You will define reference architectures, make key technology choices (Microsoft-first, but open), and ensure security, reliability, and automation as we scale.
What you will do
-
Design and evolve the target architecture for a public-cloud-first AI platform (Azure preferred).
-
Exploration of alternative deployment strategies for high-security customers
-
Build secure, compliant foundations: landing zones, identity, networking, encryption, secrets, logging, and policy-as-code.
-
Architect for scale and automation: infrastructure as code, CI/CD, GitOps, self-service environments, and operational runbooks.
-
Own platform reliability: observability, SLOs, incident patterns, performance, and cost optimization (FinOps).
-
Define patterns for AI product integration: APIs, event-driven processing, data pipelines, and multi-tenant considerations.
-
Partner with AI engineers/data scientists on MLOps and LLMOps: model delivery pipelines, feature stores, evaluation, and monitoring.
-
Drive security and Trustworthy AI practices together with security, privacy, and product teams (GDPR and data residency aware).
-
Support solutioning and pre-sales when needed, and mentor architects/engineers across product teams.
What you bring
- Senior – 8-10+ years of relevant experience, including service or solution architecture in complex product environments.
More junior profiles will be considered in case of relevant experience – not the time but the type of experience and responsibility is important to us.
-
Strong public cloud architecture skills (Azure: AKS/Container Apps, Functions, App Service, API Management, Event Hubs/Service Bus, Storage, SQL/Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Entra ID).
-
Experience with multiple deployment scenarios and high security requirements is a plus
-
Hands-on experience with automation: Terraform and/or Bicep, CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub), and modern deployment practices.
-
Proven security architecture skills: threat modeling, zero trust, network segmentation, secrets management, vulnerability management, and audit readiness.
-
Experience building or operating AI/ML platforms: Azure ML/MLflow, model serving, data pipelines, and LLM integration patterns.
-
Ability to translate business needs into pragmatic architectures and communicate clearly with both engineers and stakeholders.
Nice to have
-
Experience with GenAI platforms (e.g., Azure OpenAI) and guardrails: content filters, prompt injection defense, red teaming, and evaluation.
-
Knowledge of data engineering components: Databricks/Spark, Delta Lake, data streaming, and search/vector databases.
-
Certifications such as Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer, or similar.
Impact you will have
-
Own the reference architecture for our cloud-first AI platform supporting AI capabilities for public organizations in the Nordics.
-
Raise the security and compliance baseline with zero-trust patterns, policy-as-code, and audit-ready controls.
-
Increase delivery speed and consistency through automation: self-service environments.
-
Improve reliability and cost efficiency with SLO-driven operations, observability, and FinOps practices.
Tech we use
Azure-first and automation-driven: containers/Kubernetes, serverless, messaging, IaC (Terraform/Bicep), CI/CD (Azure DevOps/GitHub), observability, and cloud security tooling. We are open to AWS/GCP experience.
What success looks like in 6 months
-
A clear platform roadmap indicating the next steps for our data and ai platform as baseline for our product teams, supporting our vision of AI-first and agentic-first software offerings in the public sector domain.
-
Review and implementation of defined improvements of automation framework and pipelines in place for core platform services.
-
Operational excellence established: dashboards, SLOs, alerting, and incident playbooks used in day-to-day operations.
-
Security and Trustworthy AI governance embedded: threat models, risk assessments, and guardrail patterns for GenAI use cases.
Why join us
-
Build technology that improves citizen services - with real-world scale and meaningful impact.
-
A highly skilled, collaborative environment with room to influence architecture decisions end-to-end.
-
Modern cloud-first stack, strong focus on security and responsible AI, and freedom to explore new approaches (including agentic AI).
-
Professional growth, international collaboration, and a culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership.
Practicalities
Location and work setup: flexible/hybrid, ideally near one of our development hubs in Scandinavia (Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen or Espoo). Fluent English required; Nordic language skills are a plus.
