ICT Architect, AI-Driven Development
At Veikkaus, we are fundamentally transforming our software engineering practices. Our mission is to build a truly AI-native development lifecycle (SDLC) from the ground up, focusing on rigorous, high-quality, and efficient outcomes - not just hype.
In this role, your central responsibility is to design, build, and evolve the processes and tools that will define the future of software engineering at Veikkaus. You will be a hands-on pioneer, working across the entire development lifecycle. The position is permanent and full-time.
This means you will:
- Design and build our new engineering framework. You will be responsible for creating the core components of our AI-native SDLC. This is a hands-on role where you will build proof-of-concepts and pilot new tools and processes.
- Act as a dedicated partner for our initial pilot teams, ensuring their success by providing the right tools, documentation, and hands-on support.
- Turn standards into automated guardrails. You will work to transform our architectural standards and best practices from static documents into active, automated context. The goal is to create a system where AI agents and human developers are naturally guided to build things the "right way" because it's the easiest way.
What it takes to succeed in this role:
- You have a holistic and practical understanding of the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), and dedication to work hands-on with development teams. Your goal is not only to fix existing pain points, but to design and build entirely new, AI-native workflows that improve developer productivity and output quality.
- You are a builder of developer frameworks who sees the potential for AI to change how software is made.
- You have proven experience in platform engineering and in building tools that create a "paved road" for developers.
- You are a pragmatic change agent who earns trust by delivering real-world results. You understand that introducing new ways of working, like shifting from pure coding to authoring specifications, requires partnership and proof.
We offer:
- A workplace where the game evolves - and so do you. You'll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success - in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
- Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together - and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
- Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life - but isn't all there is to it.
- Excellent employee benefits. You can read more about us and our benefits from here.
It is important to us that everyone can come to work as their authentic selves. We value diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and believe that success comes from working in diverse teams. We encourage individuals from various backgrounds to apply for our jobs.
The position is located at Veikkaus' headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki. We work flexibly in a hybrid model with three on-site days per week.
