Founding Engineer (Applied AI)

EngineeringStockholm, SwedenFull-time

Are you an experienced AI builder with a product mindset, ready to own something end to end and see it used by real customers?

About veyra

veyra is a Stockholm-based startup, building the next-gen analytics software platform for high-stakes manufacturing environments. We provide factories of all shapes and sizes with manufacturing quality tools that are smarter, faster and simpler than ever before. We have recently closed our first big contracts and will use this momentum to scale further in 2026.

About the role

We've built a robust data and analytics foundation designed to support machine learning and AI-driven products from day one.

You'll lead the development and maintenance of our next-generation intelligence layer, including:

  • Machine learning models for prediction, anomaly detection, and root cause analysis
  • An agentic system that reacts to alerts, investigates problems, and synthesises insights
  • AI-driven outputs that dynamically shape what users see and how they act

You'll work closely with our CEO and full-stack engineers, and be the technical owner of this initiative, from first production models to customer-facing systems that customers rely on.

This is not a research role. It's about shipping real value. Owning this end to end also means contributing as a senior software engineer when needed; helping evolve core systems, unblock product work, and ensure what you build actually lands with customers.

What will you do?

  • Design, build, and deploy ML systems that operate on our unified manufacturing data model to deliver predictions, anomaly detection, and root-cause analysis for customers
  • Build agentic workflows using LLMs:
    • Alert-triggered investigations
    • Multi-step reasoning over structured data
    • Insight synthesis and prioritisation
  • Collaborate on:
    • AI-driven UX concepts (what the system should show, explain, and recommend)
    • Evaluation strategies (what "good" looks like)
  • Own early MLOps:
    • Training and deployment pipelines
    • Monitoring model performance and drift
    • Working pragmatically with evolving infrastructure
  • Contribute as a senior software engineer where needed, helping build and evolve the core product alongside the rest of the team

What is your background?

Note: While we believe the following skills are important for success in this role, we value curiosity and a willingness to learn over ticking every box.

Must-haves

  • Strong experience building and shipping ML-powered products
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs in production (e.g. RAG, agents, orchestration, evaluation)
  • Comfort owning ambiguous, end-to-end problems
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience building production systems
  • A product mindset: you build beautiful, well-crafted solutions that solve real customer problems that are used in practice, not just in theory

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience with anomaly detection, forecasting, or RCA-style problems
  • Exposure to MLOps tooling and practices
  • Experience working with industrial / time-series data
  • Startup experience

Soft skills

  • Entrepreneurial mindset: you thrive in fast-paced and ambiguous environments
  • Straight-shooter: you are someone who tells it like it is, good or bad
  • Collaborative truth-seeker: you seek open discussion of problems, even in disagreement, and prioritise finding the best solution over proving yourself right
  • Doer: you get stuff done and understand that building a successful start-up requires hard work
  • You enjoy building meaningful relationships with colleagues

What do we offer?

  • A unique opportunity to join a B2B SaaS start-up with PMF
  • Taking a lead role in an ambitious team, united by the drive to achieve extraordinary results
  • Having an impact from day 1, shaping the future of the company
  • Compensation that reflects the responsibility of the role (salary + equity)
  • An office in central Stockholm

Location

Given the scope and responsibilities of the role, this position requires in-person attendance, with occasional opportunities to work from home.
