AI Gateway Engineer

Nordea Bank Abp is modernizing its technology and data estate to accelerate AI-enabled capabilities across the bank. We are looking for an engineer to help design, build, and operate our enterprise AI Gateway. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on extending our API platforms to support LLM, MCP, and A2A patterns, with the automation needed to make these capabilities reliable, reusable, and production-ready. The Data Mesh and AI Platforms team is part of the Integration and AI unit, providing the integration platforms that connect Nordea, including Kong and Kafka. The team is expanding that platform approach to an AI Gateway covering LLMs, MCP, and A2A. You will engineer gateway capabilities, infrastructure automation, and reusable patterns for secure and consistent AI service consumption in a regulated banking environment. The team collaborates with architects, cybersecurity, data governance, risk and compliance, cloud platform teams, and consuming engineering teams to ensure solutions are pragmatic and production-ready. This is a full-time permanent position with a hybrid working arrangement—up to 40% remote work is possible, but full remote work is not allowed. We plan to hire in Gdańsk or Gdynia (Poland); Copenhagen (Denmark); or Helsinki (Finland). Your main responsibilities include designing, building, and operating AI Gateway capabilities; implementing secure gateway patterns for LLM access, MCP servers, and A2A integrations; developing infrastructure-as-code using Terraform; building CI/CD pipelines and source control workflows; setting up gateway policies; creating and extending Kong plugins; integrating with identity providers; setting up logging, monitoring, and alerting; establishing FinOps capabilities; supporting onboarding of new use cases and contributing to platform documentation and standards. What you are: a platform engineer with hands-on API platforms and gateway experience, Terraform, CI/CD, IdP integration, monitoring, and OpenAPI specs; familiarity with LLM access patterns and A2A. Education: a BSc or MSc in CS/Engineering/Business Informatics or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Required: experience with API gateways, Kong/DataPower, Terraform, Kubernetes/Helm, CI/CD, Python/Lua, IdP integration, logging/monitoring (Splunk/Prometheus/Grafana), FinOps, OpenAPI, and collaboration with architects and compliance teams.
