Tech innovation at Apotea

We’ve been recognized as Sweden’s best e-commerce company multiple times, and we’re now investing heavily in the next generation of our technology stack.

In Tech, our vision is to move toward being AI-first, highly automated, and data-driven systems, not by layering AI on top of legacy workflows, but by redesigning how software are built and operated. We focus on building systems that are scalable, observable, and owned by engineers end-to-end.

We are now looking for a Technical AI Product Lead for the Pharmacy domain, who wants real ownership, real impact, and an opportunity to shape Apoteas core business.

• Bridge business and technology – Translate business problems into clear technical requirements, working closely with Machine Learning Engineers, Software Developers, and stakeholders.
• Prioritize with purpose – Balance quick wins with long-term initiatives by using data, business insight, and technical feasibility to guide backlog prioritization.
• Collaborate hands-on with the team – Sit with your team daily and be an active part of sprint planning, backlog refinement, and solution discussions.
• Define success metrics – Own the KPIs for your domain & products and ensure they deliver measurable impact.
• Validate ideas fast – Drive experimentation and data-driven iteration to move from insights to deployed solutions quickly.
• Ensure production readiness – Work with engineers to ensure the solutions meet reliability, performance, and compliance standards before going live.
• Communicate clearly and often – Share progress, risks, and outcomes transparently with leadership and other stakeholders. 
• Follow up the AI trends and find good AI products – Educate non technical members in the organization to help them use AI and become more efficient in their daily tasks.
