ML Engineer (Agentic Systems) in AI Foundations

Junior ML Engineer (Agentic Systems) in AI Foundations

AI Foundations is Schibsted's central AI platform team, responsible for core services and infrastructure that enable rapid and reliable ML and AI development. Located in Sweden and Norway, the team maintains platform components for ML orchestration, feature and vector embedding, ML and LLM model serving, an LLM gateway, and an emerging agent platform. We collaborate with many parts of the organisation, including experiment teams, product development, security & privacy, and journalists.

Teams across Schibsted are building agents, each with their own frameworks and approaches. We need to turn that into a shared foundation: a paved road from prototype to production that is secure, observable, and affordable to run. You’ll help build it, working with senior engineers on our team and with agent builders across the company.

• Platform and tooling: Extend and operate our agent platform built on AWS AgentCore, help teams deploy and debug, and build well-tested tools and harnesses that give agents safe access to internal code, data and services.
• Access and governance: Help run our MCP gateway and skills registry, so agents reach only what they’re allowed to and good work gets shared across teams.
• Features & golden paths: Learn how teams build agents today, then turn what you find into platform features, standards, templates, and clear guidance on what to use when.
• Observability and cost: Set up tracing, dashboards and per-team cost reporting for agent runs.
• Evals and safety: Write evals for agent behaviour and tool use, and test for prompt injection and over-permissioned tools.
• Users and ecosystem: Be the first point of contact for engineers, data scientists and journalists building agents, and turn recurring questions into docs, templates and standards.
• Keep us current: Explore! Stay current with the fast-moving agentic ecosystem (new protocols, frameworks, managed services), try things out, and help the team separate what's worth adopting from hype.

You bring a strong engineering mindset, a structured approach to problem-solving, and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders. More specifically, you have:

For nearly two centuries, our journalism has empowered people, built communities, exposed abuses of power, and strengthened democracies. Our democracies depend on independent journalism. That’s our business.
